DONT WORRYDARLING

Product Information

Romance on the Set: She dated Harry Styles after they met on the set of Don't Worry Darling, which Wilde directed and Styles starred in. Florence Pugh, it’s clear, was/is steamed at Olivia Wilde. She wouldn’t so much as look at her when the film was introduced at Venice. But why? If you had just scanned the headlines and soaked up the highly speculative coverage of the “Don’t Worry Darling” troubles, you might easily think that what happened offscreen amounted to some sort of high-school tiff. One rumor that drove the story is that Pugh was mad at Wilde for disappearing with Harry for long periods on the set. But why would she be so furious about that? You can imagine how this might “read” to a 14-year-old Harry Styles fan (or the 14-year-old Harry Styles fan in a lot of us). According to my sources, the feud between Wilde and Pugh,which sounds like it could be a one-way feud, relates more to what happened with LaBeouf — the difficulties that situation presented, how they were resolved, and the competing spin zones, even extending to a conflict over what the rehearsal schedule would be. That said, plenty of people who work on movies together end up disliking each other, and they’re still able to paper over their antipathies for the sake of the film. Wilde has also cited Betty Friedan’s earth-shattering book, The Feminine Mystique, which chronicled the dissatisfaction of the American housewife and helped launch second-wave feminism in the U.S., as an influence.

In The Matrix, the hero Neo (Keanu Reeves) must choose between a blue pill to continue his delusion or a red pill to wake up to reality. In certain corners of the Internet, dissatisfied men use the term “red pill” to refer to the moment they “realized” that women allegedly run the world. Red Pill forums on the Internet have become a place where mostly white, mostly straight men air misogynistic views on women and bemoan their diminishing status in society. (The creators of The Matrix, Lana and Lilly Wachowski, both trans women, have since explained that The Matrix is actually an allegory for coming out as trans, to the consternation of many men’s rights activists.)

At the CinemaCon 2022 for the stage at Caesars Palace, Wilde confirmed that the idea of the film was inspired by Inception, The Matrix, and The Truman Show. [44] [45] The trailer, which was also shown at CinemaCon, was released online on May 2, 2022. [46] A teaser poster was released on June 16, 2022, and a second trailer was released on July 21, 2022. I could go on about the off-screen drama and the unusual press tour, and some of it ( “spitgate”) is just noise. But a lot of it is the natural response to seeing something that does not align with the official narrative. The gap provokes interest, frustration. People will fill it with speculation that, yes, can be sexist and judgmental and extra, but also just curious. Gleiberman, Owen (September 5, 2022).

Following the critical success of Wilde's feature directorial debut Booksmart (2019), a multi-studio bidding war took place for the rights of her second film, with New Line Cinema eventually winning. Pugh joined the cast in April 2020, with Styles being added that September, replacing Shia LaBeouf after production had already begun. Filming began in Los Angeles in October 2020, lasting through February 2021. The film was the subject of media attention and controversy, including conflicting reports regarding the circumstances of LaBeouf's departure and alleged conflicts between Wilde and Pugh.Moreau, Jordan; Shafer, Ellise (August 26, 2022).

There’s also the matter of who the lead actor was originally set to be. Shia LaBeouf, who was first cast in the part, was replaced by Styles — but how and why that happened remains a matter of dispute. Wilde claims that it was her decision to let LaBeouf go; as she repeated this week on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” the interpersonal thespian chemistry between LaBeouf and Florence Pugh, who plays the heroine, wasn’t working out. LaBeouf, however, claims that it was his decision to leave the movie. A leaked phone conversation in which Wilde pleaded with LaBeouf to stay might seem to support his version and contradict hers — but then, it all depends on when that conversation took place. Wilde could have wanted LaBeouf in the part… until she didn’t. (Second important fact to note: A director changing his or her mind in this fashion has never before happened in the history of motion pictures.)

The film takes some basic ideas – that some men find women’s employment a threat, crave submission and idolize a return to repressive 1950s gender norms – and strings them together with little coherence or characterization. It borrows heavily from other, better movies – the zeitgeist-y politics and sunken place pacification of Jordan Peele’s Get Out, the simulations of The Truman Show and The Matrix. Many of its plot beats mirror The Stepford Wives (the 1975 original, a thriller with roots in dark satire) – the sinister 50s housewife aesthetic, the spiky best friend, women asking “what do you think they do up there?” about their husbands, a forbidden men’s club. Both protagonists beat their husbands, unmasked as their captors, over the head with a household item. The Stepford Wives also stretched misogyny to ludicrous ends – the men, not nearly as likable or handsome as the DWD husbands, replace the women with robots – but its twist at least held up to narrative scrutiny.Zacharek, Stephanie (September 5, 2022).

Director Olivia Wilde remembers, “Then he said to me, ‘This movie is more romantic than you are letting it be. Let the score be something that sweeps our hearts away.’ He said that if we played with something more romantic, and used percussion to feel like a heartbeat … by bringing in the world of the orchestra he made it much more emotionally impactful. This was my first experience being able to be with a composer conducting the orchestra, creating the score.
