Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling Follow-Up Is Apparently About ‘Unexplored Sexuality’, And The Cast Is A+ List

by

Approximately three years have passed since Olivia Wilde’s popular and talk-of-the-town movie, “Don’t Worry Darling” (along with its accompanying drama), made its debut, and now she is preparing for her upcoming directorial project that promises to be a major success. Titled “The Invite“, this film appears to merge elements of adult comedy with unique relationship themes, interwoven with sensitive and personal aspects. Furthermore, the cast list has been unveiled and it includes several well-known actors taking the lead roles.

As a movie critic, I’m excited to share some upcoming projects that I’ll be a part of. One of these, set for release in the future, is based on the Spanish film “Sentimental” by Cesc Gay, and has been adapted for U.S. audiences by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack. As the production gears up for this yet-to-be-titled movie, I’m also looking forward to my role in Gregg Araki’s 2025 film “I Want Your Sex.” In the meantime, you might have spotted me in a director role on Seth Rogen’s 2025 TV series, “The Studio,” which premiered in March. However, this new project seems particularly promising and could potentially surpass my 2022 film.

Olivia Wilde’s Next Movie Is About ‘Unexplored Sexuality‘

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve been captivated by Olivia Wilde’s recent projects such as “Booksmart” and the intriguing “Don’t Worry Darling”. What sets her apart is her fearless approach to exploring various genres, consistently prioritizing female narratives at the forefront. Her outspokenness about the need for more female directors in Hollywood is a testament to her courage. And judging by the buzz around this upcoming film, it seems she’s sticking to her style of tackling themes like unexplored sexuality.

This concise, official synopsis of the forthcoming movie adaptation by Cesc Gay introduces a common neighborhood occurrence that surprisingly transforms into an unanticipated, explicit scenario.

A pair of neighbors host an impromptu gathering at their home, leading to an evening filled with unforeseen events, bringing to light hidden feelings and previously undiscovered passions in the participants.

Although the teaser offers a general outline, filming is now underway in Los Angeles with FilmNation Entertainment as the production company (they’ve recently supported Sean Baker’s “Anora” and the thriller “Conclave” about the Vatican). However, it’s the star-studded cast that has me particularly excited for Wilde’s upcoming project.

She’s Cast Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz And More To Lead Her Project

In the principal creative team for the film titled “The Invite,” the key members responsible for its production are listed below:

1. The film’s director
2. Other crucial personnel involved in the project

  • Olivia Wilde
  • Seth Rogen
  • Penélope Cruz
  • Edward Norton

This outstanding cast is brimming with versatile actors who can effortlessly interchange roles, making me absolutely delighted! From the initial glimpse and these main characters, it appears Wilde and Rogen might form a pair, while Cruz and Norton seem to play the other couple, but that could potentially be reversed.

Although it strongly evokes the star appeal she had during her second venture, simply imagining this quartet brings a positive energy to mind. However, it’s important to note that this is not the type of vibe associated with Rogen’s more infamous behavioral habits.

Currently, there’s no announced release date for the premiere of this project, but each of these stars is keeping busy as they start filming. As previously mentioned, Wilde made an appearance in one of the studio’s notable cameos – Seth Rogen’s streaming satire (which can be accessed with an Apple TV subscription). Norton, on the other hand, has been taking a break following his Oscar-nominated role in “A Complete Unknown”. After her role in “Ferrari”, Cruz moved onto “The Bride” production. I can’t wait to see this unconventional quartet come together for this offbeat comedy!

As a cinephile eagerly awaiting news, I can only express my anticipation for further cast announcements regarding the forthcoming film adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s work. While it may be premature to engage in affectionate banter just yet, rest assured that updates are likely on their way.
