EXCLUSIVE: Ethan Hawke and Myha’la Herrold are set to join Julia Roberts and Mahershala Ali in the Netflix thriller Leave the World Behind, with Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail on board to direct and adapt Rumaan Alam’s novel of the same name. Ryan Kiera Armstrong and Charlie Evans are also on board.
The film will be produced by Roberts through her Red Om Films banner and Esmail and Chad Hamilton through Esmail Corp. Red Om’s Lisa Gillan and Marisa Yeres Gill will also join as producers. Alam will exec produce. Based on Alam’s novel, Leave the World Behind is a story about two families, strangers to each other, who are forced together on a long weekend gone terribly wrong.

It explores how our closest bonds are reshaped—and unexpected new ones are forged—in moments of crisis. Hawke will play Roberts’ husband, Herrold will play Ali’s daughter, and Armstrong and Evans will play Roberts and Hawke’s children.
The novel was published in October 2020 and was a finalist for the 2020 National Book Awards, listed as one of Barack Obama’s Summer Favorites, and was A Read with Jenna Today Show Pick. It has been named A Best Book of the Year by The Washington Post, NPR, Time, Esquire and Elle among others.
