The Scandal Unfolds: Casting and Departures
The episode details a notable Hollywood scandal that began with the casting announcement of the psychological thriller 'Don't Worry Darling' in April 2020. The film, directed by Olivia Wilde, was initially set to star Florence Pugh, Chris Pine, and Shia LaBeouf, with LaBeouf's casting raising eyebrows due to his eccentric reputation. However, by September 2020, Harry Styles replaced LaBeouf, with the official reason being a scheduling conflict, although speculation suggests it was due to deeper issues associated with LaBeouf's conduct. This set the stage for a series of increasingly dramatic events surrounding the film's production and its cast members.
