Dakota Johnson Joins Florence Pugh in Olivia Wilde’s Thriller ‘Don’t Worry Darling’
Florence Pugh, Shia LaBeouf and Chris Pine were recently set to star in New Line Cinema and director Olivia Wilde‘s (Booksmart) psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling, and Deadline reports today that Dakota Johnson (Suspiria) has also joined the cast.
Here’s the logline we were recently provided with:
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.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
