The first trailer for Olivia Wilde’s ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ is here

After her celebrated debut with Booksmart, director Olivia Wilde is back behind the camera with a new must-watch production with Don’t Worry Darling, and this intense and gripping psychological thriller is sure to make your headspin.

Check out the full trailer below:

Here’s the official synopsis:

Alice (Florence Pugh) and Jack (Harry 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 (Chris Pine) — equal parts corporate visionary and motivational life coach — anchors every aspect of daily life in the tight-knit 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?

Taking audiences back to the space-age optimism of the Eisenhower/Kennedy era amidst the groovy 1950s, Wilde introduces audiences to Alice and Jack (Florence Pugh, Harry Styles) a doting young couple, who are deeply in love and who have the world at their doorstep. All of it is in relation to Jack’s work on the top-secret Victory Project, of which Alice is totally oblivious of its actions and which provides for the grand life that they are living.

But as the days go by, and this picturesque suburbia begins to close in around her, Alice starts to begin noticing strange goings-on and she comes under the suspicion of Jack’s boss, the charming, yet steely Frank (Chris Pine) who is far more than he appears to be and whose secret agenda begins to put the two of them in grave danger.

With its stunning production design which is reminiscent of the great Space Age work of the legendary Ken Adams and its gorgeous costuming and hair and make-up, and with a compelling narrative and cleverly crafted characters, Don’t Worry Darling is shaping up to be one of 2022’s most anticipated films and the creepy antagonism of its story only builds out in the trailer and Wilde is planning to take her audience for one hell of a ride with this new feature.

Both Florence Pugh and Harry Styles complement each other fully, and Chris Pine’s shadowy performance is sure to unease audiences, thanks to his cult-like vigour. This trailer paints a truly interesting portrait of what is to come, and audiences will have to hold their breath with everything turn as Wilde flips the switch with Don’t Worry Darling’s narrative and the action of this piece will have you gripping your seat with tension.

Prepare yourself for the thrills to come when Don’t Worry Darling arrives in cinemas on October 6.
