Nick Kroll is taking credit for the wildly dramatic press tour surrounding his new film, «The movie, if you haven't seen it yet, it's a thriller, and I think the less you know about the movie going in the better so that when you're watching it it's all new and surprising,» Kroll saaid on . «So I decided, 'Let's make a lot of buzz around the film but not about the film itself, right?'»In the film, Kroll plays the husband of director/actress Olivia Wilde's character.As Wilde and her cast have promoted the film in recent months, they've been plagued by drama surrounding everything from the project's early casting shakeups — with Harry Styles taking over for Shia LaBeouf -- to Wilde's high-profile split from her long-time partner, Jason Sudeikis, and subsequent romance with her new leading man, to an alleged falling out between Wilde and lead actress Florence Pugh.While the drama had largely been between Wilde, LaBeouf and Pugh, Styles and co-star Chris Pine were also dragged into the rumor mill over an alleged incident at the Venice Film Festival — dubbed#Spitgate by fans online.«I'm the puppeteer,» Kroll joked of the scandals. «I was like, 'Hey Harry, you know what would be a great idea? When you walk into the premiere at Venice, spit on Chris Pine.' And he was like, 'Got it,' but then he was like, 'I don't know if that's gonna work,'» Kroll teased.«Then I was like, 'Maybe you should just, you know, give me a kiss,'» he continued, «and then I asked him to spit in my mouth and he wouldn't do that. He's got boundaries.
‘Don’t Worry Darling’ Is a Dazzling Tour of Palm Springs’ Greatest Mid-Century Architecture
22.09.2022 - 19:51 / variety.com
Pat Saperstein Deputy Editor Despite its striking architecture, Palm Springs has seldom been captured effectively on film — even the movie “Palm Springs” shot somewhere else. But no longer. The Olivia Wilde-directed dystopian fantasy “Don’t Worry Darling” makes ample use of the California resort town’s well-preserved mid-century buildings to showcase her vision of 1950s suburban bliss covering up something menacing underneath.

Byron says “Don’t Worry Darling” plays on the juxtaposition of beauty and peril. “The Manhattan Project is something that was on our mind,” she says. “This idea of a community that is really isolated and it’s got extreme natural beauty, but
