00:00Florence is a force.

00:03Things got wild at the Venice Film Festival

00:05with the cast of Don't Worry Darling.

00:07Director Olivia Wilde did her best to dodge questions

00:09about the scandals that have hit her feature film

00:11with some significant help from the festival itself.

00:14Right at the end of the film's press conference,

00:16Wilde was asked about the absence of her lead star,

00:19Florence Pugh, and rumors of discord on set.

00:21Pugh reportedly missed the press conference

00:23due to shooting Dune 2 in Budapest,

00:25but it's worth noting that didn't stop

00:27Timothee Chalamet from doing the full press schedule in Venice.

00:30Wilde began by speaking enthusiastically about Pugh

00:32and describing her as a force,

00:34as well as noting her commitments on Dune 2.

00:36I can't say enough how honored I am to have her as our lead.

00:39She's amazing in the film.

00:41She went on to say this.

00:42As for all the endless tabloid gossip

00:46and all the noise out there,

00:47I mean, the internet feeds itself.

00:49I don't feel the need to contribute.

00:50I think it's sufficiently well-nourished.

00:52The Hollywood Reporter then attempted

00:54to ask about Shia LaBeouf,

00:55the actor Harry Styles replaced in the project,

00:58only for the moderator to shut it down,

01:00claiming that Wilde had already answered that

01:02in relation to, quote, internet noise.

01:04The film recently made headlines

01:05when Wilde claimed she fired LaBeouf from the project.

01:08The actor then spoke out,

01:10asserting that he quit,

01:11and leaking text messages and a video from Wilde,

01:14he says, proved that point.

01:15Pugh did appear with the film's cast

01:17on the red carpet in Venice

01:18and at the premiere screening.

01:25Bye-bye.

01:28Thank you for your attention.
