DEADLINE – Little Women Oscar nominee Florence Pugh, Shia LaBeouf and Chris Pine are set to star in Olivia Wilde’s genre feature Don’t Worry Darling at New Line.
Deadline first broke the news about the auction for Wilde’s highly anticipated follow-up directorial after last summer’s Booksmart, with New Line winning the deal to finance and distribute.
Pugh will be the lead in the psychological thriller which is set in an isolated, utopian community in the 1950s California desert. Wilde will also star, as we previously reported, as well as direct and produce. BAFTA nominated screenwriter Katie Silberman, who was one of the writers on Booksmart, is writing the Don’t Worry Darling screenplay based on a spec script by Shane and Carey Van Dyke. Vertigo Entertainment’s Roy Lee and Miri Yoon will produce with Wilde and Silberman Catherine Hardwicke will executive produce alongside Shane and Carey Van Dyke. Don’t Worry Darling is being overseen by New Line executives Richard Brener, Daria Cercek and Celia Khong.
