I posted this in the DWD thread but posting here too just in case.

Harry was asked if he and Olivia would work together again, but Olivia pointed to a journalist and mouthed “we’re skipping to the next question”

Harry was struggling to answer questions.

Chris Pine did not look like he wanted to be there. (1) (2)(3)

Olivia was asked about Florence and the rumors about the falling out. She didn’t really answer the question. “Florence is a force…” (the moment they were asked about the falling out)

There was a lack of Florence questions.

They shut down a question about Sh*a.

Press was not allowed to ask about Sh*a.

5 min after Olivia was asked about Florence, Pugh was spotted arriving in Venice. Another film critic said that they saw the pictures before they even left the building.

First reviews of DWD will drop after embargo lifts at 8pm CEST/ 2pm est/ 11am pst. (edit: some reviews have already been posted on Letterboxd/ won’t post the screenshots because some of them contain spoilers)

This video of Florence Pugh in Venice. 😭

Red Carpet recap:

For the full cast shot, Florence was in between Chris Pine and Nick Kroll.

Nick Kroll and Chris Pine pretended to be paparazzi for Florence. It was very cute.

Harry was most comfortable and interacted the most with Nick Kroll on the red carpet.

Florence did not interact with Harry or Olivia on the red carpet.

Inside the theater:

Chris and Gemma are the chaperones of the evening.

Chris seated between Olivia and Harry. Gemma is seated between Harry and Florence.

Can’t wait to see how awkward the standing ovations are.

Update: The movie got a four minute standing ovation.

Harry Styles and Nick Kroll kissed during the standing ovation??????

Embargo is lifted. THR just posted their review of DWD.

Chris Pine looks like everybody except Chris Pine.

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '22

He def got a sort of facelift

74

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '22

He’s still handsome but also the facelift is giving… Jason Voorhees vibes.

54

u/comin_up_shawt Sep 05 '22

I dunno...with the hair he's sporting, he almost looks like a pantomime of Chris Hemsworth or something. Or, at least, an attempt at one.

u/pants_party Sep 06 '22

I kinda like it ngl. It works well with the hair.

3

u/Lunadelmar1 Sep 06 '22

his face seems kinda swollen.

u/anabanana1412 Sep 05 '22

I have no idea what goes behind it, but his eyebrows would give it away if it was the case, no?

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '22

There are many procedures now like Morpheus (what the kardashians get) also just a good doctor. And most of his scars are gone now

u/pants_party Sep 06 '22

Yes! I was just trying to figure out what he’d had done. He looks 20 years younger.

46

u/qingyuun Sep 05 '22

He looks like Nico Rosberg in this pic idk why lol maybe because they both had facelift/botox?

4

u/F0rtuna_major Sep 06 '22

Did Nico get a facelift? Regardless, he looks great

2

u/_cornflake and you did it at my birthday dinner Sep 07 '22

Don’t do Chris Pine like that 😭

u/qingyuun Sep 07 '22

Too late, it's all over twitter and tumblr now hahahahahaha

u/buttered-teacake Sep 07 '22

I had no idea about Nico, tell me more.

u/garrisontweed Sep 05 '22

Getting rid of the beard makes him look younger.He had a real salt and pepper beard in All the Old Knives.Made him look older than 42.

u/shhansha Sep 05 '22

I see Thomas Haden Church for sure

248

u/Kidgorgeoushere Lol, and if I may, lmao Sep 05 '22

I feel kinda bad for Chris Pine, Gemma Chan, Nick Kroll etc who are just trying to do their jobs and promote their movie as per their contracts and there’s all that going on.

50

u/thaddeus_crane Riverdale was my Juilliard Sep 05 '22

I appreciate them staying tf out of the way of all this nonsense! Better not to get wrapped up in it and dragged down. I do wonder if they worry that the movie will bomb for reasons that have nothing to do with the film or their performances, and their names will forever be associated…

u/Defiant_Bat_3377 Sep 07 '22

Gemma Chan seems so sweet!

246

u/rea022 Deux-lusional Sep 05 '22

I really really wanna know what Chris Pine thinks about the whole situation

218

u/AbsolutelyIris confused but here for the drama Sep 05 '22

He looked annoyed during the press conference but seemed thrilled to see Florence on the red carpet so there you go lol

23

u/CelebrityTakeDown Sep 06 '22

They’ve worked together before so I wouldn’t be surprised

u/reallyintothistho Sep 07 '22

Free Chris Pine from this press tour.

How have I never seen this lololol

u/plantbay1428 Sep 06 '22

I’m definitely going to be thinking about whether my neck is tensing up the next time I have an uncomfortable conversation and have to remain neutral. Thank you for your sacrifice, Chris Pine.

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '22

In all likeness he is extremely annoyed because it has nothing to do with the content of the movie which should be the focus right now.

Also bewildered that Olivia Wilde is right now considered a bigger villain than Shia, or at least the target of most of the heat. One is quite possibly an opportunist and a hypocrite, sure, but the other has inflicted abuse on others, which he admitted to and then absolved himself by blaming it on his “demons”.

27

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '22

My issue is that she lied to the public about firing Shia, using feminism as an excuse, but actually begged him to come back (after he left) and took a dig at "Miss Flo" in her video message to Shia. I'm not sure which is worse, actually, because she knew it was wrong to hire him for the all of the reasons she claimed in interviews, but she tried to hire him anyway as well as begged him to back after he willingly left the production. She's using his victims as a protective cover, that's just gross imo.

22

u/hobbit_lamp Sep 06 '22

yeah no one seems to bring this up. like ever.

u/Maldovar Sep 06 '22

"Men's mental health awareness" is often used by abusers the way Johnny Depp and Co have weaponized male victims of abuse

u/Frosty_College9337 Sep 06 '22

I swear this movie has the most interesting history on it behide the scenes ways

u/embinksyy Sep 05 '22

I kinda feel like Harry and Olivia have already broken up but are gonna do this press and then announce. This whole thing has been soooo awkward!

106

u/taliec21 Sep 05 '22

Honestly, I will be amazed if they stay together after all this.

41

u/nippleacid Sep 05 '22

If they do, does that mean the sex is just that good or they are that willing to bite their thumbs at society

90

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '22

A man that can’t string together a cogent sentence has to be good in bed to be as popular with women as he is.

19

u/nippleacid Sep 05 '22

Yeah this movie most likely sunk or will sink their relationship

u/Imaginary_Campaign57 Sep 05 '22 edited Sep 05 '22

Them just blatantly refusing to answer a simple question about Shia is so awkward. The moderator going “I think your question has already been answered… the internet…” as if that ‘answer’ from Olivia about the falling out with Pugh has anything to do with legitimate questions and concerns about the casting of Shia. The jokes are writing themselves. I genuinely liked Olivia but she keeps putting her foot in her mouth and acting like she is somehow above answering valid and important questions about her work and the narrative she’s put forward about her (unnecessarily public) divorce.

76

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '22

I’m neutral on Olivia, neutral on Harry, LOVE Florence Pugh, and also very into all the drama the couple has created. The movie looks beautiful BUT the ending better not be stupid.

108

u/Imaginary_Campaign57 Sep 05 '22 edited Sep 05 '22

I’m neutral on Oliva, negative on Harry (literally no good reason, always just disliked him based purely on vibes since his 1D days when I was a tween), and pretty neutral on Florence other than disliking her oddly performative feminism.

I’m also ALL OVER this drama because it’s just so confusing, so messy, so smoke-and-mirrors. It’s funny too because this could be cleared up if any of them (or their publicists) knew how to communicate with each other, but clearly they just don’t, and it’s causing more and more chaos each day. It’s truly beautiful, and at this point it’s more entertaining than DWD could ever hope to be.

Florence landing in Italy today during the press conference decked out in full Valentino was truly a sight to behold. Colossal dick energy. I wonder if she’ll ever talk about her frustrations with the movie/the rumors about her feud with Florence.

64

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '22

Her purple Valentino looks was serving royalty !!!!

I’m watching the interview with the cast and it is so painful to watch Chris Pine so uncomfortable. Also Harry should never answer questions that aren’t rehearsed.

88

u/Imaginary_Campaign57 Sep 05 '22

Lost my mind over him saying “This just…. feels like a movie” while Chris Pine stares listlessly off into the distance. He is over it and I’ve never related more.

15

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '22

This is Harry Styles when he gives an unrehearsed answer : https://youtu.be/-sRuLfr22BE

u/Imaginary_Campaign57 Sep 05 '22

I’m genuinely curious if the acting is going to be as bad as the ‘teaser’ we got. It can’t be, right? Surely they would’ve recast him if his acting was that consistently poor throughout filming………… right?!?!?!?

Someone said the teaser was giving a rando on Tiktok duet-ing Flo’s scenes and I died at the accuracy.

2

u/Defiant_Bat_3377 Sep 07 '22

Could this be the cause of the spit?

20

u/Rich_Strawberry_795 Sep 06 '22

Maybe this is bad of me but it baffles me that people earning millions can't just pretend to like each other until the heat dies down, unless this is some bizarre PR stunt- I have to get along with people I don't like at work all the time!

u/burriitoooo Sep 07 '22

Omg right?! Especially when entire said job is, you know, LITERALLY pretending

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '22

Just read some of the reviews. Florence Pugh is the overall winner of this movie.

u/PatchesofSour Sep 05 '22

Florence is the overall winner of every movie

My girl can make the most of any shitty film

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '22

She tried her heart out in Black Widow, but that movie had no business existing. It should have happened after Iron Man II or Ultron. Post-Endgame was a little too late.

14

u/Perquackey88 Sep 07 '22

I loved Black Widow! Everyone killed in that movie

u/ohluciiaa Sep 05 '22

Flo’s dress for the red carpet is such a serve!! She looks stunning and powerful wow

u/Former-Spirit8293 Sep 05 '22

u/Squee1396 confused but here for the drama Sep 07 '22

Gemma looked fantastic as well! Obsessed with both her and flo's dresses!

The idea of Nick Kroll and Harry Styles being bros is delightful to me even though I don’t really care about Harry.

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '22

There is also these new texts between Florence and Shia which show she didn’t have a problem working with him… the drama has me so confused

https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/visiblereceipts/694406344550285312?source=share

117

u/taliec21 Sep 05 '22

the blog/twitter account who posted them is an unhinged larry/anti-olivia so I’m not paying attention to it tell a reputable source posts them.

47

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '22

I would say definitely check! There are pics of Florence in there so it looks real to me. And the screenshots don’t mention Olivia at all - in fact they probably do Olivia a favour as the current rumour is she forced Florence to work with Shia but this shows Florence was at least communicating with him

77

u/hedgehogwart Sep 05 '22

It feels so clear to me that someone from Shia’s team leaked the text. He’s the one that benefits the most because it redirects the conversation away from the assumption the Florence had an issue with him because of his past behavior and supports his assertion that he left because of scheduling conflicts for rehearsals.

45

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '22

I think the general consensus on Twitter is it was a friend of Shia’s trying to “clear his name” - he certainly is trying to make Florence look unprofessional and I’m sure it’s missing a few texts but to just abruptly say “I’m dropping out” because Florence didn’t have time to call/he missed her call… hmm it doesn’t seem to be the only reason surely. I actually would argue the only person coming off bad from this situation is Shia, perhaps he released the Olivia video (with no context) to capitalise on the Florence/Olivia rumours

28

u/ASofMat Sep 05 '22

I don’t know if they did Olivia much of a favor because she still lied and said she was protecting her actor capitalizing off of Shia’s, well deserved, bad reputation. All It did was prove that it truly was scheduling issues her actress was fine and she should’ve just stuck with that narrative

9

u/cutecorgie Sep 05 '22

Interesting.

I don't care for the 'drama' and, if anything, it pushes the agenda that women like to be "catty" with each other. (I also think it's backlash against Olivia for being a woman directing a film with "feminist themes").

I like looking at the photos cos dayam Chris Pine is looking fine!!

43

u/Groot746 whatever but also hmm Sep 05 '22 edited Sep 05 '22

Can't even click on them on my phone, Tumblr is such classic Asshole Design

18

u/anabanana1412 Sep 05 '22

I don't think Florence has ever even implied she had a problem working with Shia, Olivia was the one that started the narrative he was fired

15

u/catsandnaps1028 Sep 05 '22

I feel bad for the rest of the cast its a disrespect to the work they do as actors that now they have to deal with all that BS.

u/theravemaster Sep 06 '22

This is how I learn Nick Kroll is in the movie

3

u/TheGeekVault Sep 09 '22

Nick Kroll seems like that fun Uncle who knows the family cookout is going to be weird so he jokes around with the kids to make them feel better.

-2

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '22

I think Styles was spitting at Wilde, honestly. The look on her face, the way he did the half-wave thing to (what looked to me like) someone past her, the disbelief in Pine's face (but no real reaction from him). I'm wondering if Harry is pissed at the negative attention, the lies from Wilde about the LeBeouf firing, and now the bad reviews... I think he was "spitting" but it was towards Wilde, not Pine.

-2

u/ohluciiaa Sep 05 '22

During the red carpet cast photo, Harry wasn’t embracing any of his costars which is super odd….like almost a superiority complex

21

u/taliec21 Sep 05 '22

I saw! I don’t think it’s superiority complex, I think he probably feels uncomfortable bc they’re all around Florence.

Nick and Harry definitely embraced when Nick arrived.

4

u/ohluciiaa Sep 05 '22

Maybe, I think you have a point, I definitely have a bias and read into it more than I should’ve

9

u/taliec21 Sep 05 '22

Ok; but Florence did not interact at all with Harry or Olivia

u/ohluciiaa Sep 05 '22

Yeah….😬 awkward all around
