Olivia Wilde made her feature directorial debut in 2019 with the comedy film Booksmart. The film was a hit with critics, but thanks to bad timing and poor marketing, it didn’t perform that well at the box office.
But still, studios were impressed with her performance, and now she’s set to direct her next film.
This time, she’s going with a psychological thriller titled ‘Don’t Worry Darling‘ and she has an all-star cast lined up.
Shia LaBeouf, Florence Pugh and Chris Pine are set to star. It’s being reported that Wilde will also have a supporting role in the film.
New Line considers the film a high priority, having landed the rights after a heated bidding war due to the acclaim of Wilde’s directorial debut ‘Booksmart.’
Not much is known about this project, but we do know it’s set in an isolated utopian community in the 1950s California desert.
No word on a potential release date, but don’t look for it anytime soon considering production is shut down in Hollywood at the moment.
