In the latest crazy trailer for “Don’t Worry Darling,” Florence Pugh breaks raw eggs with her fists.
It’s one of the many times her character, Alice, goes crazy as her perfect life starts to fall apart. Later on in the video, the walls start to literally close in.
In Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry, Darling,” Pugh and her husband Jack (Harry Styles) live in Victory, a small, experimental utopia. But she starts to worry that his wealthy company, which is working on a secret project that promises to change the world, might be hiding some scary things.
Alice starts to question the company’s values, but she can’t get the other people in the town to agree with her. This causes her mind to fall apart. She says with tears in her eyes, “They lie about everything!”
A doctor (Timothy Simons from the show “Veep”) tries to give her pills for her “nightmares” and tells her to “keep calm and carry on.”
In other parts of the trailer, the characters played by Styles and Pugh get hot and heavy, yell at each other a lot, and talk about how “chaos” is the enemy of progress.
Chris Pine, Wilde, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, and Nick Kroll are all part of the cast.
Katie Silberman, who wrote “Booksmart,” wrote the screenplay, which was based on a story by Carey Van Dyke, Shane Van Dyke (“Chernobyl Diaries”), and Silberman.
After making its debut at the Venice Film Festival, “Don’t Worry, Darling” will open in theatres on September 23. The psychological thriller is Wilde’s second movie after the coming-of-age comedy “Booksmart,” which came out in 2019. She acted in movies and TV shows like “Tron: Legacy,” “Drinking Buddies,” and “The O.C.” before she became a director.
