Don’t worry darling, just keep calm and carry on. That seems easier said than done for Florence Pugh’s character in the upcoming psychological thriller, Don’t Worry Darling.
The Black Widow actress stars as Alice Chambers, a young married woman in the 1950s. She and her husband Jack (played by Harry Styles) live in the idyllic town of Victory which is run by the company Jack works for. Life is seemingly perfect until Alice begins to question her suspicious Stepford Wife surroundings.
Olivia Wilde, who features as one of the Chambers’ neighbors, also directed the flick, which marks her follow-up to 2019’s Booksmart. She said during CinemaCon 2022 that the movie was inspired by Inception, The Matrix, and The Truman Show.
The film’s first official trailer has now been released and suffice it to say that it feels like a fever dream. It’s easy to see why Alice feels the walls are literally closing in on her.
Chris Pine plays the CEO of Jack’s company and is fittingly creepy as he tells the young lady, “I’ve been waiting for someone like you, someone to challenge me…”
The rest of the cast is rounded out by Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Nick Kroll, Sydney Chandler, Kate Berlant, Asif Ali, Douglas Smith, Timothy Simons, and Ari’el Stachel.
Don’t Worry Darling is out on September 13, 2022.
