`Don't Worry Darling` is a psychological thriller set in an isolated, utopian community in the 1950s California desert. New Line considers the film a high priority, having landed the rights after a heated bidding war due to the acclaim of Wilde's directorial debut `Booksmart.`
Katie Silberman, who co-wrote `Booksmart` and penned the Netflix rom-com `Set it Up,` will rewrite the original script for `Don't Worry Darling` from Shane and Carey Van Dyke. Catherine Hardwicke is executive producing the movie, alongside Shane and Carey Van Dyke. Wilde and Silberman will produce along with Roy Lee and Miri Yoon of Vertigo Entertainment. Daria Cercek and Celia Khong will oversee the project for New Line.
