The Worst is the feature directorial debut of Simon Woods, and has been described as a "wickedly entertaining class satire".
A synopsis teases: "The film centers on socialite Emily Fisher (Vikander) and her husband Max (Hollander) as they invite their equally wealthy friends to their new chateau in France for the night.

"Among the guests are a group of people who really can’t stand each other: Jim (Clafin) and his wife Holly (Knightley), a struggling diversity consultant who continuously clashes with everyone until she gets a migraine, and Danny (Boyle), a quick-witted talent agent that name-drops his client list every chance he gets.
"As the evening begins to unravel and dark secrets are revealed, waitress Niamh (Kellyman) finds herself right in the middle of their chaos."
The Worst will be written and directed by Woods, and produced by Andy Berg and John Sachs of Eclipse Films, alongside Josh Hyams of Promise Pictures.
Frédéric Fiore, Ryan Wickers, and Andrei Kamarowsky serve as executive producers for Logical Pictures Group, with Dave Bishop, James Pugh, and George Hamilton for Protagonist Pictures and Charles Low for Eclipse.
