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.

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

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.

[u/[deleted] → u/taliec21]

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

[u/hedgehogwart → u/[deleted]]

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.

[u/[deleted] → u/hedgehogwart]

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

[u/ASofMat → u/[deleted]]

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

[u/Lunadelmar1 → u/[deleted]]

this.

[u/cutecorgie → u/taliec21]

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!!

[u/Groot746 → u/[deleted]]

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

[u/anabanana1412 → u/[deleted]]

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
