‘Don’t Worry Darling’ Trailer Reveals First Look at Florence Pugh and Harry Styles in Psychological Thriller
Following its debut at CinemaCon last week, Warner Bros. has finally released the first full trailer for Olivia Wilde’s new project, Don’t Worry Darling.
The promo, which runs for almost three minutes, takes us inside Florence Pugh’s head as her seemingly perfect life starts to crumble once she starts to question what her husband is doing. Check it out:
Here is the official synopsis of the movie:
While the husbands spend every day inside the Victory Project Headquarters, working on the “development of progressive materials,” their wives—including Frank’s elegant partner, Shelley (Chan)—get to spend their time enjoying the beauty, luxury and debauchery of their community. Life is perfect, with every resident’s needs met by the company. All they ask in return is discretion and unquestioning commitment to the Victory cause.
But when cracks in their idyllic life begin to appear, exposing flashes of something much more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade, Alice can’t help questioning exactly what they’re doing in Victory, and why. Just how much is Alice willing to lose to expose what’s really going on in this paradise?
Don’t Worry Darling stars Florence Pugh, Chris Pine, Gemma Chan, Harry Styles, and KiKi Layne. It is uncertain why it is taking so long for the movie to be released, since the project was filmed over the last few months of 2020. It will surely have a potent Oscars campaign as well as a festival circuit — Venice and Toronto are sure bets, and runs on Telluride and the New York Film Festival are not to be discarded, despite the fact they might happen after the movie’s debut in theaters.
The movie has had several actor shakeups, before and while cameras were rolling. Initially, Olivia Wilde eyed Dakota Johnson for the leading role, but the actress had to drop out due to scheduling issues. The director also cast Shia LaBeouf as the male lead, but he then was fired due to Wilde’s zero-assholes-policy and the inappropriate behavior of LaBeouf on set — Harry Styles quickly took over his role.
Olivia Wilde has been on record several times over the past week praising Styles’ acting chops, going as far as jokingly calling him “an up-and-coming actor with no other career that I’m aware of.”
Don’t Worry Darling will open exclusively in theaters on September 23.
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as authors like Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
