Director Olivia Wilde’s psychological thriller Don’t Worry, Darling is getting a theatrical release on September 23rd, and with just over a week to go until the movie reaches the big screen a new poster has been unveiled. This one was designed exclusively for Dolby Cinemas, and you can check it out at the bottom of this article.
Written by Carey and Shane Van Dyke, with rewrites by Wilde and Katie Silberman, Don’t Worry, Darling is set “in an isolated, utopian community in the 1950s California desert”. It’s about what happens when “a 1950s housewife living with her husband in a utopian experimental community begins to worry that his glamorous company may be hiding disturbing secrets.”
Here’s the lengthy official synopsis:
Alice and Jack 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 1950s societal optimism espoused by their CEO, Frank —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 —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?
Florence Pugh plays Alice, with Harry Styles as her picture-perfect husband Jack, who happens to be hiding a dark secret from her. These characters are featured on the Dolby poster for Don’t Worry, Darling.
Chris Pine plays Frank, “the revered leader of a mysterious worksite where all the men work just outside of town”. Gemma Chan is Frank’s elegant partner Shelley. KiKi Layne and Nick Kroll are also in the cast, and Wilde reserved a “key supporting role” for herself. Pine has described the story as “so compelling and so fun and so dark and twisted.”
Wilde and Silberman produced Don’t Worry, Darling with Roy Lee and Miri Yoon of Vertigo Entertainment. Catherine Hardwicke executive produced alongside the Van Dykes. Richard Brener, Daria Cercek, and Celia Khong oversaw the project for New Line Cinema.
