‘Don’t Worry Darling’: Olivia Wilde Says Chris Pine’s Character Is Based “Incel Hero” Jordan Peterson

Jordan Moreau After what seems like months of eye-catching headlines and a towering rumor mill of behind-the-scenes drama, Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling” has landed in theaters, earning $3.1 million at the domestic box office from previews. The early haul includes Thursday previews from more than 3,300 locations and a Monday live Imax event. The Warner Bros. film is estimated to earn between $17 million to $20 million in its opening weekend, with some projections as high as $25 million. With a price tag of $35 million to produce, a result anywhere in that range would mark a solid start for the film. “Don’t Worry Darling” is Wilde’s second directorial effort, after her 2019 debut “Booksmart,” which was critically adored, but underperformed at the box office. The R-rated comedy had a soft opening of just $8.7 million over the four-day Memorial Day weekend. “Don’t Worry Darling,” a twisty psychological thriller with a starry cast including Harry Styles, Florence Pugh and Chris Pine, will surely eclipse that box office mark.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Audiences can’t get enough of “Don’t Worry Darling.” After the movie’s Venice Film Festival premiere, which sent the internet ablaze after Harry Styles may or may not have spit on his co-star Chris Pine and Florence Pugh avoided eye-contact with her director Olivia Wilde, the buzz around the Warner Bros. release is only escalating. Imax’s live-event screening of “Don’t Worry Darling,” which includes a Q&A with the cast and director, has sold out in 21 locations. In less than 24 hours, more than 13,000 tickets have been purchased across 100 North American locations.

Florence Pugh for her “unbothered energy” after she was filmed holding an Aperol spritz and strutting in Venice amid rumours of a feud between herself and Olivia Wilde. The rumours of a conflict between the Don’t Worry Darling star and Wilde, who directed the film, escalated after Pugh, 26, skipped a press conference for the upcoming movie ahead of the film’s red carpet premiere in Venice on Monday.

highly anticipated dystopian thriller film “Don’t Worry Darling,” directed by Olivia Wilde.The film had its buzzy world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival on Monday, taking the internet and the world by storm with behind-the-scenes controversies and most of all, fashion.Styles arrived on the Venice carpet dripping in a navy blue Gucci suit with bold broad shoulders and a very peaked collar, Sarah Karmali, executive editor (digital) at Harper’s Bazaar, described to The Associated Press.Laura Jordan, fashion & lifestyle features director at Grazia magazine, said Styles’ partnership with his stylist Harry Lambert has created “absolute magic.”″(Styles’ fashion) always got this kind of retro bit camp vibe. He loves the big collar, the tinted shades, lots and lots of Gucci,” Jordan said.In 2018, Styles began to build his personal style and brand by becoming one of the ambassadors for the Italian fashion house Gucci.

?), but obviously Harry Styles did not spit on Chris Pine. That was just that came from a misleading video.ICYMI, Twitter spiraled out of control for about twelve hours watching the cast of Don't Worry Darling interacting (or not) at the Venice Film Festival.

Hollywood drama has been rife surrounding the upcoming movie Don’t Worry Darling. The most recent being rumours of a fallout between Harry Styles, 28, and Chris Pine, 42, following “spit-gate”.

"Don't Worry Darling" is garnering heaps of press, but none of it actually surrounds the film.  In a now viral video, actor Harry Styles is seen taking his seat next to co-star Chris Pine for a screening of the movie on Monday at the Venice Film Festival. The awkward video shows Styles not making eye contact with either Pine or Olivia Wilde, his director and girlfriend, as he sits down.  As Styles turns to sit, you see Pine look down at his pants, pause, and then guffaw at whatever just transpired.  Chris Pine was sandwiched between Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles during the film's screening.

Following her outstanding and irreverent directorial debut, “Booksmart,” actor-turned-filmmaker Olivia Wilde returns with a much more ambitious effort in “Don’t Worry Darling.” Taking the mystery box route, “Twilight Zone” meets “The Stepford Wives,” with a little dash of “The Matrix,” the audacious film is ultimately a misfire because of its overextending mystery conceit. But regardless, it’s a well-crafted film that shows Wilde’s debut was no fluke.

Olivia Wilde arrived on the Lido Monday morning for the hotly-anticipated press conference for her latest film Don’t Worry Darling. Wilde was joined by her principal cast, including Harry Styles, Gemma Chan, and Chris Pine. As previously reported, Florence Pugh, the film’s lead, was not in attendance because her flight from the Budapest set of the Dune sequel didn’t land in Venice until after the presser began. Pugh is expected to attend the film’s evening premiere.

Olivia Wilde is opening up about the cuts that she was forced to make to the Don’t Worry Darling trailer in order for it to be approved by the MPA.

There’s been a lot of drama in the lead-up to the premiere of Olivia Wilde‘s “Don’t Worry Darling” at this year’s Venice Film Festival. Like Wilde’s drama with Shia LaBeouf, who exited the film before production.

Interview Magazine, Wilde revealed that Frank, the leader of the Victory Project that the characters of “Don’t Worry Darling” are taking part in — knowingly or unknowingly — was directly inspired by the Canadian psychologist.“We based that character on this insane man, Jordan Peterson, who is this pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community,” Wilde explained.During his time teaching at Harvard, Peterson was described as someone who was “willing to take on any research project, no matter how unconventional” — perhaps fitting for the premise of “Don’t Worry Darling” — and has previously said “disciplines like women’s studies should be defunded.”Wilde went on to reiterate that Peterson is widely respected among “incels,” because he furthers their ideology that “the idea of feminism is working against nature, and that we must be put back into the correct place.” “This guy Jordan Peterson is someone that legitimizes certain aspects of their movement because he’s a former professor, he’s an author, he wears a suit, so they feel like this is a real philosophy that should be taken seriously,” she explained.That said, the director made a point to note that none of the men acting in “Don’t Worry Darling” were actually like Peterson, or the character of Frank.“It was a dream to work with all these evolved men on this movie who understood what we were trying to say,” she said.“Don’t Worry Darling” will make its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, followed by a theatrical release on Sept.

Zack Sharf Olivia Wilde has cited films such as “Inception” and “The Truman Show” as inspiration for her psychological thriller “Don’t Worry Darling,” but a far more unexpected source of inspiration is the incel community. Wilde told fellow actor-turned-director Maggie Gyllenhaal during a conversation for Interview Magazine that Chris Pine’s character was inspired by Jordan Peterson, the Canadian author and media personality described by Wilde as “this pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community.” Pine stars in “Don’t Worry Darling” as Frank, the founder of a utopian 1950s community in the desert known as the “Victory Project.” Wilde’s film, written by her “Booksmart” collaborator Katie Silberman, centers on Florence Pugh’s Alice, a Victory Project housewife who discovers her idyllic community is harboring dark secrets. Trailers for “Don’t Worry Darling” have positioned Pine’s Frank as the film’s antagonist.
