Do you feel ready to talk about the movie where you found out that Harry Styles is dating Olivia Wilde and not you? You’ve had a few months to process the news that your lover dumped you for her. ’ Since it would be Don’t Worry Darling, a psychological thriller set in 1950s California in a desert town (maybe Palm Springs?).
All the information you need to know about Olivia’s directorial style, the narrative, the actors (someone has fired already, yikes), and the release date of the upcoming film is provided below.
And this looks savory! Both the Black Swan and Made for Love aesthetics can be detected here (a very underrated HBO Max show that you should watch). Raise your hand if you were unaware that Olivia also acted in and directed this film and if you missed Chris Pine’s appearance.
I’m going to be rewatching this all day since there’s a lot to take in. Check out this brand-new teaser! This expands on the plot in several ways:

We Know the Release Date
The movie will premiere on September 23, 2022, as we learned from the studio. That means the movie won’t be in theatres for a good long while. Unfortunately, I’m sure the wait will be worthwhile.
We Have Our First Look at Florence Pugh in Costume
Sure, there have been paparazzi photos of the cast dressed up, but Olivia is the first to share a shot of Florence acting out her part.
I Repeat: Olivia Wilde is the Director
She made her directorial debut in 2019 with the massively successful and highly praised adolescent comedy Booksmart, and with Don’t Worry Darling, Olivia has further cemented her reputation as a formidable force in the film industry.

The Cast is So! Damn! Good!
The Oscar-nominated Little Women actress Florence Pugh, Star Trek’s Chris Pine, and Crazy Rich Asians’ Gemma Chan are among the stars in the cast. Having No Fear You may have first heard of Darling in early September 2020, when Deadline announced that Harry had replaced Shia in the starring role. Initially, Shia’s departure was attributed to schedule issues; but, Variety has learned that Olivia fired him after hearing that Shia’s ex-girlfriend, FKA Twigs, had filed a lawsuit against him for “relentless” violence.
Collider claims that Florence plays an “unhappy housewife,” Harry plays her “picture-perfect husband,” Chris may or may not play a cult leader, and Olivia plays a supporting character, though the specifics are still sketchy. When Dakota Johnson had to drop out of the cast owing to schedule conflicts, she was replaced by KiKi Layne of If Beale Street Could Talk.
We don’t know when Olivia and Harry started dating, but she was ecstatic about his selection for the role. Olivia said she “performed a little victory dance when we heard that we officially had Harry in the film” in Harry’s famous Vogue cover interview. She continued her gushing about Harry by telling Vogue, “I’m not even kidding.
