A little more than a week has passed since the opening of the 2022 Venice Film Festival, and one movie has dominated most of the discussion not because of its photography, editing, or narrative, but rather because of alleged behind-the-scenes turmoil that has stolen the show.
Following her 2019 debut, Booksmart, filmmaker Olivia Wilde is back with her second feature film, "Don't Worry Darling".
The film, which also stars Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Chris Pine, Gemma Chan, and Wilde herself, had its festival premiere on Monday (September 5, 2022) and will go on general distribution on September 23. The fictional Californian town of Victory, where the movie is set, was founded in the 1950s.
The married pair, Alice and Jack, who are portrayed by Pugh and Styles, reside in the town that Jack's employer developed. Tensions start to build up between Alice and her new neighbors as she tries to understand more about her neighborhood.
According to reports, there was friction throughout the film's development, and internet rumors ran rampant after the performers' encounters at Venice. According to Nicholas Baer, assistant professor of media, arts and society at Utrecht University,
“„some aspects of the unfolding interpersonal drama definitely appear like an unwieldy mess.
Therefore, even if it can be difficult to determine whether something is purposeful, it's a blend of deft image manipulation and "genuine" drama.
Chris Pine at the “Don’t Worry Darling” premiere is the new viral meme following his appearance at yesterday's Don't Worry Darling Venice Film Festival premiere (Sept 5).

The following is a three-part story recounted using online memes, as presented by Chris Pine at the Don't Worry Darling premiere in Venice.
Online rumors centered on months of the alleged conflict between director Olivia Wilde, actors Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, and Shia LaBeouf, the previous lead actor, were rampant during the movie's release.
On Monday, as the film had its festival debut in Venice, Twitter was a hive of discussion as observers combed through every aspect of the film for additional tidbits of rumors, examining everything right down to the cast members' seating arrangements. However, Pine, who has been working extra hard on his charmingly detached air as chaos erupts all around him, was the night's unsung hero.
Videos of Pine sitting down for the movie screening went viral because some viewers thought they showed Styles spitting on Pine; Styles denied it and Pine's representatives called it "ridiculous," but what people DO know is that Pine just grinned and chuckled at whatever had happened.
Perhaps spitting? Naturally, everyone was in a frenzy.
