What could be the Plot of the New Movie?
Don’t Worry Darling is an American psychological thriller film based on a story by Carey Van Dyke, Shane Van Dyke, and Silberman.
As per the official premise of the film,
- It revolves around the story of a “young, happy couple in the 1950s,” Alice and Jack Chambers.
- They are shown to be living in what seems like a utopian town – a “perfect company town of Victory, California.”
- However, the question has been “created and paid for by the mysterious company” for which Jack Chamber works to earn his daily earnings.
- But, like they say that smoke always arises where there is fire, Alice becomes curious about “the nature of her husband’s work on the secret “Victory Project.”
- Eventually, “cracks begin to form in their utopian life as her investigation into the project raises tensions within the community.”
Well, this is a pretty interesting premise if you ask me, and with the mind-blowing script written by Katie Silberman for the screenplay of the movie “Don’t Worry Darling,” it is very likely that it would be an explosive piece of art.
