Actress Olivia Wilde made her feature debut as director with last year’s comedy Booksmart, and we recently learned that her second film will be a timely psychological thriller.
Last year, Wilde signed on to both direct and star in Don’t Worry Darling, a “Time’s Up era” thriller that will be distributed by “The House That Freddy Built,” New Line Cinema.
Deadline reports today that Florence Pugh, Shia LaBeouf and Chris Pine will also star.
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.
