![]() ![]() In the midst of all this, reviews for the film were posted, and were decidedly mixed.Wilde, Styles and Pugh all appeared to take pains not to be photographed next to each other at Venice, often leaving Pine and co-star Gemma Chan to act as human buffers.In his own comments, Pine was full of praise for Pugh, whom he was also seen photographing adoringly, but he didn’t make much mention of Wilde or Styles.Somebody get chris pine outta there #Venezia79 /zmYxmvpbka- bethany September 5, 2022 She made a splashy entrance to the festival minutes later, but did not do any interviews. Pugh did not attend the Venice press conference for Don’t Worry Darling, officially due to a scheduling clash with the shoot for Dune: Part 2.There are rumors that Pugh took issue with Wilde and Styles’ on-set relationship. Speculation of a rift between Pugh and Wilde has been rife, fueled by an apparent lack of enthusiasm on Pugh’s part for promoting the film.LaBeouf immediately disagreed, saying he had quit the production. In a recent Variety profile, Wilde claimed that she had fired troubled actor Shia LaBeouf (who is facing assault charges from his ex, the singer FKA Twigs) from the film and replaced him with Styles.This isn’t necessarily relevant to the cast drama, but it’s still incredible that it happened. Wilde was served with legal papers from Sudeikis pertaining to custody of her children while she was on stage at Las Vegas trade show CinemaCon, presenting Don’t Worry Darling.Wilde and Styles are said to still be in a relationship, but haven’t gone public at any stage. Wilde reportedly began dating Styles during production, around the time she split from her partner Jason Sudeikis ( Ted Lasso), with whom she has two children.This wasn’t even the first Pine-and-Styles meme of the day. To understand what’s behind the frenzy over the clip, however, you have to take in the context: the whole, tortured, gossipy saga of Don’t Worry Darling, which guaranteed that footage of the film’s stars at its premiere was going to be pored over, and body language analyzed to within an inch of its life. #DontWorryDarling #venezia79 /by6DmYxvRS- Ramin Setoodeh September 5, 2022 ![]() Here’s another angle that’s no more conclusive, although it does run a little longer, and shows the two men appearing to exchange words in a friendly enough manner after the alleged incident. ![]() 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. On the other hand, is Pine just looking down to pick up the spectacles he’s dropped on his seat? Could be. Does Styles purse his lips and jerk his head forward, infinitesimally? Maybe. It’s a mesmerizing clip that has all of Twitter freezing, zooming, and enhancing in search of some unknowable truth. He smiles and shakes his head slightly, as if in disbelief, before making eye contact with Styles. Pine freezes mid-clap and looks down at his lap, as if something just landed there, or perhaps on his shoe. Taking his seat next to Pine to watch the film, Styles bends briefly over his co-star. Pugh did a Harpers Bazaar cover to promote the movie but isn’t doing anything else, but she has the excuse of being rooted to Budapest until Dune 2 wraps the first week of October.#HarryStyles appears to spit on Chris Pine i won't sleep until i know the truth /wLXjIHTYgU- JZMaclin September 6, 2022 But we’re told Pugh is following a script written weeks ago, before all this dust kicked up. Warner Bros inadvertently fanned the smoke by only today confirming its press conference attendee list without Pugh’s name. ![]() This was always the plan, and attention is being paid only after a candid and provocative cover story on Wilde by our sibling publication Variety, followed by La Beouf’s social media refutation of Wilde’s assertion she fired him. She will then jump right back on a plane because director Denis Villenueve expects her to get right back to work Tuesday morning. Pugh will walk the red carpet, do the photo call, and watch the movie with her cohorts including Wilde and Styles. Pugh won’t be at the press conference at 12:15 pm, but that is because her flight from the Budapest set of the Dune sequel doesn’t land until 1:30 or 2 PM, sparing her whatever press scrutiny will be directed toward her director and costar. ![]()
