Don’t Worry Darling is one of the most highly anticipated films of the fall, and the actor-director shares her experience making the film.
Olivia Wilde has made herself into an up-and-coming director to watch after making a name for herself as an actress. 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.
Wilde revealed to Maggie Gyllenhaal for Interview magazine that her less-than-ideal acting roles influenced her directing style today.
After casually joking about making “5,000 times more shitty movies” than Gyllenhaal, Wilde said, “But I’ve been in some really bad ones, and now I think, ‘I did those to learn all the cautionary tales that would help me define myself as a director: how I will never speak to a crew, how I will never speak to actors, how I will never schedule a movie.’ All of that comes from those bad experiences.”
