The official synopsis for “Don’t Worry Darling” reads: “A 1950s housewife living with her husband in a utopian experimental community begins to worry that his glamorous company may be hiding disturbing secrets.” Wilde’s “Booksmart” co-screenwriter Katie Silberman wrote the film based on an original script by the Van Dyke brothers.

Wilde recently told Vogue that “Don’t Worry Darling” is the equivalent of “‘The Feminine Mystique’ on acid” and wrestles with the question, “What are you willing to sacrifice in order to do what’s right? If you really think about it, are you willing to blow up the system that serves you?”

The project is Wilde’s follow-up to her breakthrough directorial debut “Booksmart,” but the two movies could not be more different. Any list of the most anticipated films of 2022 is bound to include Olivia Wilde’s psychological thriller “Don’t Worry Darling,” starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles.
