“Don’t Worry Darling” is actress and director Olivia Wilde’s newest psychological thriller set in a utopian community during the 1950s. This isn’t Wilde’s first rodeo when it comes to directing. Wilde’s big breakthrough was with her first directorial film “Booksmart” and has also starred in big roles like the show “House” as Remy, “Thirteen” as Hadley, and Disney’s “TRON: Legacy” as Quorra.
The film is set in the 1950s, where Alice (Florence Pugh) and Jack (Harry styles) live in an experimental community. This community is for the townspeople who are housing the men that work for businessman Frank (Chris Pine) who employs Jack and other men to work on the Victory Project. Everything is perfect in this world, but the only thing that they ask of the people is that they should not question anything about The Victory cause. When everything seems to crack in this perfect life and something sinister seeps through, Alice can't help questioning what they're doing in Victory.
At CinemaCon in April 2022 Wilde revealed that the film will be a mix of “Inception,” “The Matrix,” and “The Truman Show.” Then went on to describe the film by saying “Imagine a life where you have everything you could want. Not just material, tangible things like a beautiful house, perfect weather, and gorgeous cars. But also the things that matter, like true love or the perfect partner or real trusted friendships and a purpose that feels meaningful,” Wilde said at CinemaCon.
Just the trailers alone have gotten fans of Harry styles excited. Even some Florence Pugh fans are hyped up for the film. Fan (@laurengarafano) said, “someone call me a doctor I absolutely can not handle Florence Pugh and Harry Styles in the don't worry darling trailer!”. (@guitarrystyles) said, “I am afraid to say September 23rd is no longer my brother's birthday. we’re only celebrating, don't worry darling on that day from now on. He can choose another day I don’t care.”
For fans of Harry Styles and Florence Pugh or even a good psychological thriller then keep an eye out for “Don’t Worry Darling.” This is one of Olivia Wilde’s most anticipated films of the year and fans can’t wait. The film’s release date is set for Sept. 23 of this year and it will be released in theaters.
