What's all the fuss about? Read the Don't Worry Darling screenplay to find out.
Don't Worry Darling is a psychological thriller film directed by Olivia Wilde, who made herself into an up-and-coming director to watch after starting her career as an actor.
The actor-turned-director has one award-winning comedy under her belt and is entering the revival of the erotic thriller this fall with Don’t Worry Darling. That movie has a screenplay by Katie Silberman, based on a story by Carey Van Dyke, Shane Van Dyke, and Silberman. It was a hot package, with 18 places putting bids in on the movie when it was a spec.
Eventually, it settled at Warner Bros. The ensemble cast includes Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Wilde, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Nick Kroll, and Chris Pine.
In the film, we follow a young wife living in a 1950s company town who begins to believe there is a secret being kept from her by the man who runs it. Her investigation uncovers some horrors.
Obviously, this movie has dominated the headlines due to some drama behind the scenes. But now you can check the screenplay out to see what happens on the page. We are not sure if this is the shooting draft, or an earlier one. But we are happy to share it here.

I've had numerous filmmaking friends confess privately that they hope this film fails so drama-as-marketing serves as a cautionary tale rather than a template.
