Everything We Know About Olivia Wilde’s New Movie, Don’t Worry, Darling

Olivia Wilde, director of the 2019 film Booksmart, has a new movie in the works called Don’t Worry, Darling. The cast has already been selected, and production began in mid October. The movie, although still very much a mystery surrounding the plot and details, is a psychological thriller that takes place in the 1950’s about the disturbing truth of a seemingly perfect family. 

Rumors of the cast began circulating social media as early as September and there wasn’t much time between the initial rumors and Wilde confirming the movie and a few cast members on her Instagram. The cast includes Florence Pugh, Chris Pine, Gemma Chan, Kiki Layne, and Harry Styles. All of these actors have received recognition for their outstanding performances. Fans of these A-list celebrities were thrilled that rumors were confirmed by Wilde herself, and looked forward to catching glimpses of the production as filming began. Other cast members from the ensemble include Nick Kroll and Douglas Smith amongst others. 

As mentioned before, the details of this movie are pretty vague. We know that Pugh and Styles play a couple, their names Alice and Jack respectively, and Chan and Layne play characters named Shelley and Margaret respectively. Any new information about the plot is still to come.

The bad news is that similar to The Batman (2022), production was halted in the first week of November due to someone on set testing positive for COVID-19. Sources have reported that the member who tested positive was not someone from the essential cast, however for precaution, the production has been stopped for 14 days. It should pick up once more after all the necessary testing has taken place and it is deemed safe to gather. Wilde is taking no risks when it comes to this virus as multiple paparazzi pictures from the set have shown crew and cast members, including Styles and Pugh, wearing masks when not filming. Their trailers are also socially distanced.

While Don’t Worry, Darling and its details are still up in the air, an unauthorized script for the movie has joined in the circulation. The script includes both dialogue and story, however, it has not been confirmed by either Wilde or Katie Silberman, who co-wrote the script. It also includes names for characters that don’t exist in the actual movie.

We excitedly wait for more information to unfold as production begins again. There is no official release date for Don’t Worry, Darling just yet, but we can expect some more hiccups and delays as production continues due to the coronavirus.
