The first full look at Harry Styles and Florence Pugh in Olivia Wilde's drama Don't Worry Darling is here — and wow, they're really something.
In the first full-length trailer for the film, we see Harry and Florence — who play 1950s couple Jack and Alice respectively — going about their normal, everyday lives in the community of Victory, an idyllic experimental company town that houses the men who work for the “top-secret” Victory Project and their families. If everything seems too perfect… that's because it is.
“Welcome to the Victory Project,” Gemma Chan's character says warmly in the trailer. “We're all here because we believe in the mission.” The mission in question? To “change the world.” But as Alice steadily starts to question the real purpose of the Victory Project, the utopia begins to unravel around her, uncovering a sinister and twisted truth.
“They’re lying about everything,” Alice says in the trailer. “Everyone is acting like I’m crazy. And I’m not crazy!”
Though Harry and Florence share many an intimate moment throughout the trailer, both wholesome and risqué — enough to make us blush — it's clear that secrets and lies are destined to wedge themselves between the couple's close embrace.
When the trailer recently debuted at CinemaCon, Olivia Wilde praised Florence, whose role the film "lives or dies" by. Olivia also called Harry's acting “a revelation” and joked about her boyfriend's One Direction beginnings and now thriving solo career. He's “an up-and-coming actor with no other career that I'm aware of,” she told the audience, per People. (Harry, for his part, is preparing to drop his next solo album, Harry's House.)
Olivia also compared Don't Worry Darling to Inception, The Matrix, and The Truman Show — and based on what we've seen so far from the trailer, these comparisons are super accurate.
The psychological thriller will be her second directorial gig, following the excellent 2019 comedy Booksmart, and includes cast members Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Nick Kroll, and Chris Pine in addition to Harry, Florence, and Olivia.
"I want you to imagine a life where you have everything you could want," Olivia said while speaking about the film. "Not just material things… but true love and friendship. What would it take for you to give up that perfect life? Are you willing to dismantle the system that's designed to serve the world?"
Meanwhile, expect more romantic and sensual onscreen moments between Jack and Alice. Harry previously joked to Capital FM that both Don't Worry Darling and his other forthcoming film My Policeman have NSFW scenes aplenty. "I don't know if you can watch either with your parents," he said in early April. "I'm gonna have to do another one."
Don't Worry Darling will be available to watch in theaters on September 23, 2022. Check out Harry Styles and Florence Pugh in the first look photo and first official trailer below:
