The movie about the making of Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling is going to be fascinating (who will they cast to play Shia LaBeouf in the scenes where he insists that he didn’t get fired?), but until somebody starts making that, we’ll have to keep relying on behind-the-scenes stories. Today we have Maggie Gyllenhaal interviewing Wilde for Interview Magazine, during which Wilde talks about the experience of acting in a movie that she was also directing—and the “bunch of dudes” who told her it was a “great” thing to try.
