Gemma Chan (“The Eternals”), KiKi Layne (“The Old Guard”), and Wilde herself all support as fellow housewives, seemingly of varying trustworthiness. While their lives seem perfect, cracks in reality start to show for Pugh’s Alice, who begins questioning the real motives behind the project and the man in charge of it (Chris Pine). In it, Florence Pugh and Harry Styles star as a young married couple who live in Victory, the experimental, supposedly utopian company town that houses the men who work for the top-secret Victory Project. Now a new trailer offers an unsettling look at the thriller, which Wilde has described as “a love letter to movies that push the boundaries of our imagination.” For the latest news, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.Ever since her critical success in 2019 with comedy “Booksmart,” Olivia Wilde’s directorial follow-up has been hotly anticipated - especially once details started to emerge about its casting and story. What's Coming to Disney Plus in July 2020 “Utopia” will launch this fall on Amazon. In addition to Lane, Cusack and Wilson, the show stars Dan Byrd, Ashleigh LaThrop, Jessica Rothe, Desmin Borges, Javon “Wanna” Walton, Farrah Mackenzie, Christopher Denham and Cory Michael Smith. Jessica Rhoades, Sharon Hall, Karen Wilson, Sharon Levy and Kelly also executive produce the series, which is a co-production between Endemol Shine North America and Kudos and Amazon Studios. ‘Utopia’ is all about exploring resonant issues within dark, twisted storytelling - it’s a series that’s urgent and current and a little holy-crap, but a hell of a lot of fun.” “Dennis Kelly’s show blew my mind, and he has been so incredibly generous in letting me crack open his world and play around in it and make it my own weird, wild place. Previously, Flynn told Variety the show was “like catnip” to her. Similar to the British series, Amazon’s “Utopia” follows comic fans who first meet online, bonding over their obsession of a seemingly fictional comic, but soon they are drawn into a high-octane adventure to save the world after meeting the comic’s famed central character Jessica Hyde (Sasha Lane). Wilson, who plays a lower-level scientist named Michael Sterns, shared that although his character has “been neglected and passed over for grants, through his past work, he ends up connected to a much larger global kind of medical conspiracy and gets drawn in and slowly by slowly, episode by episode, becomes an unlikely hero.” So every day, people who work at his company or people who he makes contact with feel that they have a need to be of service to this world, not just take.” What he says to his family every day is, ‘What have you done to earn your place in this crowded world?’ So that’s kind of a mantra he repeats. Of his character, Cusack said: “He’s someone who’s trying to make the world a better place from the 1% down. “Really ambitious, really audacious, sophisticated, crude, shocking, funny as hell.” “It was amazing writing, great characters and truly a world and a take that I hadn’t seen before,” he said. He got his hands on six or seven episodes and read them all at once, finishing them by three in the morning. Kevin Christie, the CEO of a multinational corporation producing new food sources, said he got hooked on the show as soon as he received a call from Flynn. “Whereas took his cue from the graphic novels themselves, I took my cue more from the ’70s paranoia thrillers that I love.” “My idea was to not only Americanize it - and deal with things that are resonant to Americans in a lot of ways - but to also make things gritty and dirty and nasty in a very realistic way,” she said. “We have no idea what the end of the world’s gonna bring, french cut string beans aren’t gonna save anybody,” says another character.ĭuring the panel for the show, writer and executive producer Gillian Flynn said that even though she started this project almost seven years ago, it has “never felt more resonant.” She also shared her adaptation process for fans of the original British series. “It is a story about a rogue scientist who created biological warfare,” says an unnamed character in the trailer, which you can watch above.
