Harry Styles and Florence Pugh in the first trailer for Don’t Worry, darling

Olivia Wilde clearly knows how to distinguish between her personal life and her directing career; one has only to watch the trailer of her new film. On Monday, Warner Bros. unveiled the first official video for Don’t Worry Darling, the Hollywood actress’ long-awaited second film starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles. 

Alice (Pugh) and Jack (Styles) are lucky enough to live in Pobeda, the company’s experimental town, where men working on a top-secret project live with their families. Life here is perfect, the company satisfies all the needs of every resident, and in return, they ask only unquestioning devotion to the company’s policy. But as the vidyllia begin to crack, they reveal glimpses of something more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade. 

Alice can’t help but wonder what they’re doing and why in Victory. But how much is Alice willing to lose in order to discover what is really going on in their beautiful paradise? Already in the trailer, we are pleasantly surprised by how aesthetically pleasing and utopian a community in the Californian desert looks isolated from the whole world. Olivia Wilde definitely managed to convey the aesthetics of the 50s in beautiful elements – cat frames, bright makeup, and retro cars.

The neoclassical story of an unfortunate housewife will clearly keep you in suspense right up to the very credits, but at the same time, the thriller is devoid of bloody scenes. The picture will be Harry Styles’ first starring role, although he already had a small role in the 2017 film Dunkirk. In addition, the premiere will be Wilde’s second feature film following her directorial debut with the 2019 teen comedy Education. The film is slated for a world premiere on September 23rd.
