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.

Solo endeavors for musical artists coming out of a group can be challenging, especially if that group is as wildly successful as One Direction. Just a couple of teenagers from small towns in England and Ireland took the world by storm, winning awards, topping charts, and stealing young fans’ hearts with their iconic albums, becoming the most famous band in the world within a few years. When the news broke that they were going on an indefinite hiatus after their fifth studio album, Made in the A.M., all eyes focused on them, and everyone eagerly waited to see what they did with their solo time.

Harry Styles wasted no time getting back in the studio to work on his debut album, Harry Styles, making a pit stop in the Netherlands to film his first acting gig, Dunkirk (2017). From the moment he released the teaser for his first single “Sign of the Times” in early 2017, the world knew that his journey had only just begun. It’s safe to say we underestimated Styles, assuming he was nothing more than his role as the heartthrob from the boyband who wrote those cheesy (and sometimes cringey) songs all the girls were crazy over, however he proved us wrong and emerged from the hiatus as a new person with no labels or chains to hold him down, displaying his growth with a fresh haircut and a few more tattoos on his arm. Both his albums have fallen under the rock/rock pop, with songs like “Kiwi”, “Only Angel”, and “Golden” that show the inspiration he draws from the 70’s going into the late 80’s, demonstrating his ability to be flexible and try new things.

He isn’t the same Harry Styles though. In 2011 when One Direction had just kicked off, the then 17 year old said, “I’ve always wanted to be one of those people who didn’t really care much about what people thought about them.. but I don’t think I am”, but that person is now long gone, and from the ashes of One Direction, he has arisen as a rock star who prances on stage holding rainbow pride flags with “Black Lives Matters” stickers on his guitar, wearing flares that go on for miles, and rings that you can’t help but wonder the symbolism behind. (Source: “One Direction: A Year in the Making”) The new Harry Styles, 26, doesn’t care about what you think. He now defines himself with his unique sense of clothing, his perfectly manicured and colored nails, and his tattoos that are always on display any given moment. His clothes have shown his journey, becoming more fluid and expressive, venturing far from his tight black jeans and shirts to multicolored embroidered blazers, sweaters, heeled boots, and sometimes even women’s dresses. Toxic masculinity, who? In One Direction, he was just the hot singer with curly hair, but now that he has his own voice, he feels free to talk about things he’s passionate about and his opinions.

In a 2017 Billboard interview, he was asked if he feels any duty to tend to older fans now that he’s not a teenager himself, and he smartly answered, “‘How can you say young girls don’t get it?’ Styles pointed out. ‘They’re our future. Our future doctors, lawyers, mothers, presidents, they kind of keep the world going.’” The Harry Styles we all knew from 1D would never say this, and we are definitely here for this evolved, socially woke, feminist! (Source: Billboard) When asked about comparing his solo success to his success in One Direction, he answered that if he never reached that point again in terms of chart topping singles and record breaking albums, that it would be okay because he defines success differently now. If he enjoys making music and has fun, then that is being successful to him. Once more, Styles shows his growth and acceptance that things change and it was the right time to move on. He promises there wasn’t ever a time where he didn’t enjoy being in that band. (Source: Harry Styles: Behind the Album)

Styles’s shift in music also proves how he differentiates himself from his music in 1D, however that doesn’t mean he didn’t value his time in the band. He’s played multiple songs from the band during his live shows and frequently talks about being in touch with his band mates, even attending their concerts. He looks back on the time fondly, but also eagerly creates his own persona.It is true that all good things must come to an end, but Styles is certainly making the best out of that, and we love to see it. His second album Fine Line came out December 13, 2019, and if you haven’t had a chance to check it out, we strongly recommend it!
