From New Line Cinema comes “Don’t Worry Darling,” directed by Olivia Wilde

(“Booksmart”) and starring Florence Pugh (Oscar-nominated for “Little Women”), Harry Styles

(“Dunkirk”), Wilde (upcoming “Babylon”), Gemma Chan (“Crazy Rich Asians”), KiKi Layne (“The

Old Guard”) and Chris Pine (“All the Old Knives”).

Alice (Pugh) and Jack (Styles) are lucky to be living in the idealized community of Victory,

the experimental company town housing the men who work for the top-secret Victory Project

and their families. The 1950’s societal optimism espoused by their CEO, Frank (Pine)—equal parts

corporate visionary and motivational life coach—anchors every aspect of daily life in the tightknit desert utopia.

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?

An audacious, twisted and visually stunning psychological thriller, “Don’t Worry Darling”

is a powerhouse feature from director Olivia Wilde that boasts intoxicating performances from

Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, surrounded by the impressive and pitch-perfect cast.

The film also stars Nick Kroll (“How It Ends”), Sydney Chandler (“Pistol”), Kate Berlant

(“Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood”), Asif Ali (“WandaVision”), Douglas Smith (“Big Little Lies”),

Timothy Simons (“Veep”) and Ari’el Stachel (upcoming “Respect the Jux”).

Wilde directs from a screenplay penned by her “Booksmart” writer Katie Silberman, based

on a story by Carey Van Dyke & Shane Van Dyke (“Chernobyl Diaries”) and Silberman. The film is

produced by Wilde, Silberman, Miri Yoon and Roy Lee, with Richard Brener, Celia Khong, Alex G.

Scott, Catherine Hardwicke, Carey Van Dyke and Shane Van Dyke executive producing.

Wilde is joined behind the camera by two-time Oscar-nominated director of photography

Matthew Libatique (“A Star Is Born,” “Black Swan”), production designer Katie Byron

(“Booksmart”), editor Affonso Gonçalves (“The Lost Daughter”), Oscar-nominated composer

John Powell (“Jason Bourne”), music supervisor Randall Poster (“No Time to Die”) and costume

designer Arianne Phillips (“Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood”).

A New Line Cinema presentation, “Don’t Worry Darling” will be distributed worldwide by

Warner Bros. Pictures and is set to open in theaters in North America on September 23, 2022 and

internationally beginning 21 September 2022
