Director OliviaWilde addresses rumors of a feud with her DontWorryDarling star FlorencePugh.
The talent involved in the upcoming thriller Don't Worry Darling has made it one of the more anticipated releases of the fall movie season, though some of the attention it has earned has been related to rumors of behind-the-scenes drama, which director Olivia Wilde was quick to refute during a press conference for the film.
"Florence is a force and we are so grateful that she is able to make it tonight despite being in production on Dune," Wilde shared at a press conference during the Venice International Film Festival when asked by a journalist to"clear the air" about the rumors.
She continued,"I can't say enough how honored I am to have her as our lead. She's amazing in the film and as for all the endless tabloid gossip and all the noise out there, I mean, the internet feeds itself. I don't feel the need to contribute, I think it's sufficiently well nourished." Last month, Wilde claimed that LaBeouf was fired from the project based on his approach to rehearsing and preparation, as she noted it was more aggressive and combative than she expected from a performer. LaBeouf then offered a public retort, claiming he quit the project based on not having the appropriate time to rehearse with his costars.
These seemingly condescending remarks in conjunction with Pugh not doing press resulted in the rumor mill being ignited. Pugh has yet to weigh in on the situation.What do you think of Wilde's remarks? Let us know in the comments!
