I have nothing against her for any reason.” “I have nothing but respect for Florence’s talent. “She is sensational in this film. “When he gave me the ultimatum of, you know, him or Florence, I chose Florence.”

New Report Alleges 'Screaming Match' Between Olivia Wilde and ... (IndieWire)

Creative differences, COVID protocols, and Wilde's relationship with Harry Styles reportedly pushed the relationship to a breaking point.

According to the report, “the acrimony between Wilde and Pugh allegedly reached all the way to the top of the studio totem pole, with the highest-ranking Warner Bros. The drama regarding Wilde and her relationships with stars [Florence Pugh](https://www.indiewire.com/t/florence-pugh/) and Harry Styles has dominated coverage of the film in recent months, significantly overshadowing the content of the film itself. Pugh was reportedly frustrated by Wilde’s frequent disappearances with Styles (who she began a romantic relationship with soon after casting him), as well as the couple’s decision to attend a high-profile wedding despite frequently lecturing the cast and crew about COVID protocols. Pugh has been conspicuously absent from the press tour, but she has a convenient excuse in the form of her obligations to “Dune: Part Two,” which is currently filming in Budapest. That frayed relationship between the two actresses eventually forced high-ranking studio brass to intervene. In addition to the personal drama, there were also creative differences on set.

'Don't Worry Darling' Review: Olivia Wilde goes Icarus mode (Vanyaland)

Olivia Wilde's 'Don't Worry Darling' is ambitious to a fault, and it can't contain all of the stuff she tries to cram into it.

This is, perhaps, because she knows exactly what she wants from the performance, in a way that she’s able to cogently understand on a personal level but could never quite get across to the other actors on the project. It’s the kind that will alienate his fanbase and prime the muskets of those not already in his favor for a volley of goofy tweets and memes, and his efforts, however valiant, aren’t rewarded in any way. Wilde’s direction is all over the place, and her all-in approach to the project means that everything is a flourish without the grounding and skill necessary to make it involving. Shia LaBeouf, who originally was cast, would have been the better choice, given his ability to evoke a layered sort of magnetic crazy, and Pine feels like a kind of cardboard cutout brought in to replace him, even if it were perhaps the right choice (who knows what exactly happened there). It’s a film that so desperately wants to be about something – anything – that it never manages to focus in on any one concept. This is the role in this world that Alice (Florence Pugh) inhabits, serving the needs of her husband, Jack (Harry Styles), who is making his way up in the project but who still has time to scatter all the dishes off the table and give his wife head at the dinner table each night (a dream for many, I am sure).

Olivia Wilde has been tight-lipped about the amount of money she is paid for her movie roles. It is not publicly known how much Olivia Wilde demands per episode of television that she appears on.
