Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles at the Venice press conference for Don't Worry Darling.

The 1950s societal optimism espoused by their CEO, Frank (Pine) — equal parts corporate visionary and motivational life coach — anchors every aspect of daily life in the tight-knit desert utopia. [Chris Pine](https://deadline.com/tag/chris-pine/) concurred, “The surprising thing is that it’s not all that different from what was reality at a certain point; to Harry’s point, there wasn’t much acting. We started the film in the era of Make America Great Again, questioning what is meant by that… I don’t think there will ever be a time when the idea of controlling someone’s body is not something relevant to fight against.” Life is perfect, with every resident’s needs met by the company. While the husbands spend every day inside the Victory Project Headquarters, working on the “development of progressive materials,” their wives — including Frank’s elegant partner, Shelley (Chan) — get to spend their time enjoying the beauty, luxury and debauchery of their community. She noted, “We were really interested in the problematic nature of nostalgia itself. Rarely had a press conference here in Venice been so anticipated — the festival on Sunday alerted badge holders about a “rush line” for last-minute admission should seats remain available — and questions were largely friendly, with the moderator leaning heavily on her own prepared list. “There’s a lot of negative sides,” he said, “they’re pretty obvious for anyone to see. I didn’t base Frank on anyone, he’s essentially a hologram of sexiness that’s woven with incredibly beautiful but obtuse word salad.” “As for all the endless tabloid gossip and noise out there, the internet feeds itself. What I like about acting is I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing.”

Harry Styles tried to praise the theatergoing experience at a Don't Worry Darling press event in Venice, but it was too silly not to meme.

“It feels like a real, like, you know, go-to-the-theater-film movie.” Styles is hardly the only actor who is hitting the “you must experience cinema in a cinema” talking point. “You know, my favorite thing about the movie is, like, it feels like a movie,” he said. Speaking at a Venice International Film Festival press event, Styles said that the best thing about the movie he’s in is that it’s a movie.

Olivia Wilde's thirst valentine/fuck you to the patriarchy — is less of a flaming car wreck that the film's P.R. tour. But even diehard Stylers should ...

It’s clear that a viewer’s intoxication with this classic environment is meant to be a trap, yet you can also feel how much the creators are getting off on their eternal-cocktail-hour fantasy; the only people who are more enamored of this world than the toxic males benefiting from it are the filmmakers. The difference between told something is super-hot versus actual heat is huge, of course, in the same way that using horror in a subversive, socially conscious way isn’t the same as being clumsily beaten about the head with ideas in an eye-candy cri de coeur with a suspenseful soundtrack. Whether the pop star is a better-than-decent actor is still a riddle for the Sphinx by the time the credits role (and will likely be answered when his next project, the British love-triangle drama My Policeman, gets released later this year). You can sense what Wilde and her trio of scribes, which also includes Booksmart‘s writer-producer Katie Silberman, are going for here: the kind of smart, penetrating horror movie that wants to swim in the same social-thriller waters as Get Out. Yet there’s both too much and not enough happening in their tale of throwback Americana as a female empowerment parable and a fuck you to the patriarchy. And an even stronger case could be made that casting one of the few Black actors in your ensemble in such a barely sketched out, completely sacrificial role isn’t exactly a great look. At the end of the day, she’ll greet her husband, Jack ( [Harry Styles](https://www.rollingstone.com/t/harry-styles/)) at the door and if she’s lucky, somewhere between the last sip of his martini and the first bite of her pot roast, he’ll ravage her on the dinner table. (Which you’ll have the chance to see when the film hits theaters on September 23rd.) Despite how sumptuous and stylish — and Styles-ish — as all of it is, Don’t Worry Darling plays like a bad Op-Ed piece that wants you to believe its good intentions are more significant and righteous than they actually are. (Even bigger metaphor alert!!!) All of her friends, from the eternally preggers Peg (Kate Berlant) to her next-door neighbor Bunny (Wilde), are worried about her.

Before you fully commit to the spit theory, a few things to note: Chris didn't wipe his hand or his pants, which seems to indicate he was not spit on by Harry Styles (what are these sentences, help).

The second is that Styles did spit on Pine as part of some elaborate in-joke, because Harry Styles is cheeky and The first – which isn’t entirely unthinkable – is that nobody spat anything at anyone, and the internet is wetting its knickers over nothing. This is what a clip doing the rounds on social media shows. But this is all in the past. It is a clip of

A second video of the moment Harry Styles allegedly spits on Chris Pine at the Don't Worry Darling premiere has been revealed.

Plus, one has to consider the fact that everyone in the audience had a phone out and was recording this moment, which Harry was presumably well aware of, making the choice to spit on someone pretty risky. And while yes, this video also includes Chris looking at his lap in shock, the angle on Harry's face makes it seem far less likely that he spat in his co-star's lap. If you've watched this clip in disbelief more times than is normal and have reluctantly come away thinking wow, pretty sure Harry Styles actually did spit on Chris Pine, update: a new angle has emerged.

The Venice Film Festival premiere of Olivia Wilde's movie was already laced with drama from Florence Pugh beef to Shia LaBeouf's recasting, but a new viral ...

In a couple of weeks, we’ll be able to judge it on its own terms, and for some — certainly its publicists, and possibly Chris Pine — that will come as a blessed relief. The irony is that Pine, a relative bystander who had kept his nose clean of controversy throughout, found himself in the eye of the storm, and as the main focus of Monday’s imagery. From the alleged expectorant in Venice to the purported on-set romance that started it all, absolutely none of the Don’t Worry Darling scandal is substantiated. LaBeouf [immediately disagreed](https://www.vulture.com/2022/08/olivia-wilde-shia-labeouf-fired-dont-worry-darling.html), saying he had quit the production. She made a splashy entrance to the festival minutes later, but did not do any interviews. This wasn’t even the first Pine-and-Styles meme of the day. It’s really Pine’s reaction that sells it, plus the incongruous, summery glamor of the setting: Wilde’s cascading lemon-yellow dress on the left of the frame, Styles’ electric-blue suit and extravagant shirt lapels on the right, Pine’s country-club bow tie and sockless ankles caught between them. 5, 2022, the internet wanted to know one thing and one thing only: Did Harry Styles really just spit on Chris Pine? It’s a mesmerizing clip that has all of Twitter freezing, zooming and enhancing in search of some unknowable truth. Pine freezes mid-clap and looks down at his lap, as if something just landed there, or perhaps on his shoe. But there’s another question that we might be able to get to the bottom of: Why would anyone think he did? He smiles and shakes his head slightly, as if in disbelief, before making eye contact with Styles.

(AP) -- Harry Styles will never be just a singer-songwriter, he's now an actor and a fashion powerhouse as well.

Just to be clear, Harry Styles did not spit on Chris Pine,” Pine's rep told 'People' of the co-stars' rumored interaction at Monday's premiere.

Additional video shows Styles smiling and speaking to Pine shortly before the screening starts—not behavior typical of two people who shared a spiteful (spit-full?) interaction. Many noted that in the video, Pine appears to glance at and pick up a pair of sunglasses in his lap, which could be why he looks in that direction after Styles sits. Speculation shifted to the dynamic between Pine and Styles when video of the latter’s entrance into Venice’s Sala Grande Theatre led some to believe that the musician spat on Pine before taking a seat next to him.
