Actress Olivia Wilde made her feature debut as director with this year’s comedy Booksmart, and we recently learned that her second film will be a timely psychological thriller.
Wilde has signed on to both direct and star in Don’t Worry Darling, a “Time’s Up era” thriller that will now be distributed by New Line Cinema after a heavy bidding war.
Here’s the logline:
A psychological thriller about a 1950s housewife whose reality begins to crack, revealing a disturbing truth underneath.
Shane and Carey Van Dyke (The Silence) wrote the original version of the script, with Katie Silberman on board to do a complete rewrite for Wilde’s film.
Vertigo Entertainment’s Roy Lee (IT, The Ring) will produce with Wilde and Silberman. Catherine Hardwicke is exec producer.
