In tandem with the announcement, Wilde\u2014who will attend the Festival, along with co-stars Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Gemma Chan and Chris Pine\u2014stated, \u201cI am honored and thrilled that \u2018Don\u2019t Worry Darling\u2019 will have its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. When we dreamed of making this movie, we imagined Venice as our ultimate goal, and we can hardly believe it\u2019s really happening! From our cast\u2014led by the formidable Florence Pugh and Harry Styles\u2014to the design of this world and the kinetic cinematography, the film was crafted for viewing in the collective setting of the theatrical experience. For this first screening to take place in the jewel-like surroundings of the Venice Lido and in the presence of some of international cinema\u2019s most accomplished artists is beyond exciting. I look forward to sharing the visceral ride of \u2018Don\u2019t Worry Darling\u2019 with the world, beginning with the Venice Film Festival, and I wish to thank Alberto Barbera and the Biennale for the selection. This is truly a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
