The Don't Worry Darling cast dominated the show from the red carpet until well after the film premiere at the 79th Venice International Film Festival, which was dripping with "drama"! There was a lot of spilled tea, from Harry Styles apparently spitting on Chris Pine to the rumored on-set fight between Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde, which caused the two outstanding actors to "separate" themselves during the premiere.

It has been "difficult to navigate with a grin" all the turbulence surrounding Don't Worry Darling, an industry insider tells People. The source continued, "Everyone went into the movie with the best intentions," thus the scenario was indeed awful. The lavish Venice premiere, according to the source, reinforced the news cycle regarding behind-the-scenes difficulties: "By trying to not make headlines they made way more." Ultimately, Florence Pugh - who skipped the press conference but attended the premiere - "came out looking flawless while the others invoked questions."

Given that it had "so much sexiness and intrigue," the insider reportedly believed that the psychological thriller movie would have attracted a sizable audience even without the pressure of the film festival premiere. The Olivia Wilde-directed movie should have avoided the festival and "lead with marketing," according to this.

The controversial story surrounding Don't Worry Darling will be interesting to watch to see if it helps or hurts the movie's box office performance. Olivia Wilde swiftly dispelled rumors of a conflict with Florence Pugh during the press conference, saying, "When it comes to the constant tabloid rumors and noise, the internet basically feeds itself. I have no compulsion to participate. It has enough food to last."

Don't Worry Darling debuts on September 30 and also stars Nick Kroll, Gemma Chan, and Nick Nolte.
