All eyes were on the Don’t Worry Darling premiere at Venice Film Festival, with fans watching Harry Styles, Olivia Wilde, Chris Pine and Florence Pugh’s every move over the weekend – and Us Weekly is breaking down the biggest moments.
Going into Labor Day weekend, the internet was buzzing about whether Pugh would attend the Monday, September 5, screening as the actress has done little to no press for the thriller directed by Wilde, slamming the trailer for being “reduced to [her] sex scenes” via her Harper’s Bazaar cover story. While she was in attendance, she skipped the press conference, opting to fly in later with an Aperol Spritz in hand.
“Florence is a force, and we are so grateful that she’s able to make it tonight despite being in production on Dune,” Wilde told reporters about Pugh on Monday. “I know, as a director, how disruptive it is to lose an actor even for a day, so I’m very grateful to her, to [Dune director] Denis Villeneuve for helping us. And we’re really thrilled we’ll get to celebrate her work tonight. I can’t say enough how honored I am to have her as our lead. She’s amazing in the film.”
According to a source, however, “Florence and Olivia have had several disagreements personally and professionally, that’s why Florence isn’t doing any press for the movie.”
Don’t Worry Darling has been making headlines for nearly two years, beginning when Styles replaced Shia LaBeouf for the role of Jack. While Wilde has asserted that she fired the Even Stevens alum, telling Variety that his “process was not conducive to the ethos that I demand in my productions” as her priority was “creating a safe, trusting environment” for the cast, LaBeouf disagrees.
“You and I both know the reasons for my exit. I quit your film
Amid reports of a heated feud between Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde on the set of Don’t Worry Darling, the film’s production company is standing behind the project.
