Step Right Up! As The Film Awards Season Opens, Everyone Is A Winner

Elizabeth Wagmeister Senior Correspondent If you haven’t heard of “Don’t Worry Darling,” you’ve probably read something about it. Olivia Wilde’s upcoming movie has become one of the most talked-about films of the year, especially considering it doesn’t even hit theaters for another month. Ever since “Don’t Worry Darling” was announced, the psychological thriller has attracted considerable attention in the tabloids and across social media with internet sleuths picking apart each and every detail of the film that stars Florence Pugh and Harry Styles. The latest gossip to come from the “Don’t Worry Darling” rumor mill claimed that Styles made more than three times Pugh’s salary on the film. (While Styles is the male lead, Pugh is, without question, the star of “Don’t Worry Darling.”)

Elizabeth Wagmeister Senior Correspondent Harry Styles is one of the most famous musicians on the planet, and this year, he will become a bonafide movie star. Having previously appeared in Christopher Nolan’s 2017 war drama “Dunkirk,” Styles has now taken on two leading roles: Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling,” in theaters Sept. 23, and “My Policeman,” which Amazon Studios will release on Oct. 21. In “Don’t Worry Darling,” Styles plays Jack, the on-screen husband to Florence Pugh’s Alice. But he doesn’t just act in the upcoming psychological thriller — Variety can reveal that Styles also brought his musical talents to the film, writing a key song in the movie.

Olivia Wilde is talking about the O-word. No, not the Oscars, but her approach to sex scenes in her new movie, “Don’t Worry Darling.” “Men don’t come in this film,” she declares over cucumber sandwiches and scones at Claridge’s, just blocks away from Buckingham Palace. “Only women here!” In Wilde’s second directorial outing after 2019’s indie high school coming-of-age story “Booksmart,” Florence Pugh and Harry Styles star as a married couple living in a quaint, experimental utopia called Victory. Pugh plays Alice, a “Mad Men”-type housewife whose reality begins to crack, revealing disturbing truths underneath her seemingly perfect world. When the trailer for the sci-fi thriller dropped in May, social media was buzzing about Styles’ character, Jack, going down on Alice on top of a dining room table.
