While there's plenty to get excited about here, fans of pop star Harry Styles (myself included) will be enthralled by the new footage, which shows the British musician in his second major acting role after 2017's "Dunkirk." The first promo only included a few lines from Styles, to the point that it was unclear whether he'd be playing an American or a Brit ex-pat, but he has more to do this time around, admonishing Alice for not appreciating their unique opportunity and bro-ing around with Chris Pine's culty character. The first trailer for the movie was heady and sinister, making it look like a psychosexual thriller with "Stepford Wives" overtones. When Alice isn't cracking open ominously empty eggs or saran-wrapping her own face, she's talking to Timothy Simons' character, who offers to put her on meds and seems to give her a heavily redacted file.

The description continues, “But when cracks in their idyllic life begin to appear, exposing flashes of something much more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade, Alice can’t help questioning exactly what they’re doing in Victory, and why. The official synopsis reads: “Alice and Jack are lucky to be living in the idealized community of Victory, the experimental company town housing the men who work for the top-secret Victory Project and their families. Fellow neighbors played by Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Nick Kroll, Sydney Chandler, Kate Berlant, Asif Ali, Douglas Smith, Timothy Simons, and Ari’el Stachel start to detail the exact same meet-cute story of falling for their spouses, and it seems like Victory may just be an illusion after all.

Olivia Wilde delivered a trailer for 'Don't Worry Darling,' starring Harry Styles and Florence Pugh, during the Warner Bros. presentation at CinemaCon.

Wilde described how she envisioned the question she wanted the film to answer: “I want you to imagine a life where you have everything you want, everything you could ever dream of. It was revealed that when Wilde was pitching the film, a bidding war broke out with 18 studios and streamers vying for the thriller, which is out September 23. Even before the film was announced, a lot of hype was brewing behind the scenes.

Olivia Wilde (Booksmart) directed and also stars in Don't Worry Darling for New Line Cinema, coming to theaters on September 23, 2022.

“While the husbands spend every day inside the Victory Project Headquarters, working on the “development of progressive materials,” their wives—including Frank’s elegant partner, Shelley (Chan)—get to spend their time enjoying the beauty, luxury and debauchery of their community. The 1950’s societal optimism espoused by their CEO, Frank (Pine)—equal parts corporate visionary and motivational life coach—anchors every aspect of daily life in the tight-knit desert utopia.

Later in the footage, the walls start to close in… It’s one of the many instances of her character, Alice, going off the rails as the veneer of her perfect life begins to crack. “Don’t Worry Darling” will open in theaters on Sept. 23 after premiering at Venice Film Festival. The psychological thriller is Wilde’s follow-up feature to 2019’s coming-of-age comedy “Booksmart.” Prior to stepping behind the camera, she acted in movies and on TV shows such as “Tron: Legacy,” “Drinking Buddies” and “The O.C.”

Olivia Wilde's next movie stars Florence Pugh and Harry Styles as a married couple whose perfect life isn't what it seems.

With the success of Booksmart, Wilde had 18 bidders after Darling — including Netflix, MGM, and Blumhouse, but eventually, production company New Line walked away with the project. Pugh and Styles are joined by many familiar faces in Darling, including the director herself, who has a supporting role as Mary. Other supporting actors include Chris Pine (Star Trek, Wonder Woman), Gemma Chan (Crazy Rich Asians, Eternals), Douglas Smith (Big Little Lies, The Alienist), Kiki Layne (If Beale Street Could Talk, Native Son), Nick Kroll (The League, Big Mouth) Asif Ali (The Mandalorian, WandaVision) and Sydney Chandler, for who Darling will be her first major studio role. As seen in the trailer, Alice (Pugh) and Jack Chambers (Styles) are a happy couple living in the experimental company town of Victory during the 50s. Alice is a housewife, and Jack works for the top-secret Victory Project. Everyone in their community is happy: the men spend their days in Victory HQ developing "progressive materials," and the women live in the lap of luxury. What are they doing in Victory, and what is the secret project her too good to be true husband is working on? Starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles as well as other big-name actors, the trailer for Darling generated a lot of buzz upon its release in May; in the first look, viewers see Pugh and Styles play a young couple with a sickeningly perfect life: Their house is grand, their neighborhood is a suburban paradise, and they are madly in love.

But when cracks in their idyllic life begin to appear, exposing flashes of something much more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade, Alice can’t help questioning exactly what they’re doing in Victory, and why. Life is perfect, with every resident’s needs met by the company. The 1950’s societal optimism espoused by their CEO, Frank (Pine)—equal parts corporate visionary and motivational life coach—anchors every aspect of daily life in the tight-knit desert utopia.

In Warner Bros.' upcoming thriller Don't Worry Darling from director Olivia Wilde, most everything about the fictional company town of Victory seems ...

But the way Don’t Worry Darling’s new trailer focuses on Alice’s apparent psychological breakdown as she starts asking questions about Victory makes it more than seem like the danger’s much, much closer to home. But there’s something sinister about Victory that at least one of its Stepford-esque housewives is becoming aware of in Don’t Worry Darling’s new trailer. Though Alice and the other women don’t exactly know what the men of the town do while they’re off working on the Victory Project, what they do know (because their husbands tell them) is that there’s nothing to worry about.

"Don't Worry Darling," a psychological thriller film directed by Olivia Wilde and starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, opens in theaters in September.

Just how much is Alice willing to lose to expose what's really going on in this paradise?" "When cracks in their idyllic life begin to appear, exposing flashes of something much more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade, Alice can't help questioning exactly what they're doing in Victory, and why. Don't Worry Darling follows Alice (Pugh) and Jack (Styles), a young couple living in the idyllic community of Victory, an experimental company town housing the men who work for the top-secret Victory Project and their families.

Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, and Chris Pine lead the cast of Olivia Wilde's Don't Worry Darling, here's who else will be joining them.

KiKi Layne stars as Margaret, one of the residents of Victory. Margaret appears in the trailer standing mysteriously on top of a roof, hinting there's more to the town of Victory than Frank suggests. There isn't much to be known about Shelley other than that, but the trailer does hint there is much more to Shelly's relationship with Frank than meets the eye. The trailer also hints Margaret's role in the film is the catalyst that starts Alice on her journey to question the town of Victory and its inhabitants, including Frank and her husband Jack. In that sense, Margaret is the domino that causes a devastating rippling effect that affects the entire small community of Victory. Layne was one of the last additions to join the cast of the film. Even as Alice confronts her neighbors about the authenticity of Frank's intentions, many seem scared to even question him. There is a notable shot in the trailer of Alice desperately pulling apart saran wrap that covers her face, symbolizing Alice breaking through the facade of this mysterious town. He has appeared in such movies as Hell or High Water, Smokin' Aces, This Means War, Horrible Bosses 2, and most notably as Steve Trevor in Wonder Woman opposite Gal Gadot. He then reprised the role of Steve Trevor in the sequel Wonder Woman 1984 for director Patty Jenkins. Pine has also lent his voice talents to another popular superhero, the older Peter Parker/Spider-Man, in Sony's animated smash hit Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Next year Pine is set to reprise his role as Kirk in an untitled Star Trek sequel from WandaVision director Matt Shakman, and will be leading the ensemble of the potential franchise-starter Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Pine is currently working on his directorial debut, the mystery comedy Poolman, in which he will also star in. While many of Frank's neighbors are wholly dedicated to preserving that secrecy, Alice is not one of them. With her portrayals in Little Women and Midsommar, Pugh has made a name for herself as a breakout leading actress. As the trailer progresses, the hidden layers of this seemingly idyllic community begin to slowly unravel. The film's initial teaser trailer shrouds the story in mystery, showing only glimpses of "Victory", the enigmatic company town that is the centerpiece of the film. Jack and Alice have perfect lives until Alice starts to question the eerie nature of Jack's work, which upends their utopian life and relationship. With all of that immeasurable praise, the anticipation for Wilde's next directorial outing, Don't Worry Darling, is understandably through the roof.

Florence Pugh finds herself trapped in a too-perfect 1950s society in Olivia Wilde's next directorial effort.

A psychiatrist all but tells her it’s in her head and that he can prescribe pills, and the trailer ends bouncing back and forth between Alice’s discoveries, accusations, and the men in ever-heightened Stepford Wives-fashion yelling about whose world it really is. The trailer opens with the couple in wedded bliss as a jaunty beat overlays everything. This puts the piece in line with such games as Stubbs the Zombie, and movies like Fido, Suburbicon, and the recent Amazon series, Them, all set in 1950s planned communities gone wrong.
