Fresh off the hot drama that was last year’s “Don’t Worry Darling,” Olivia Wilde has been tapped to helm her third film as a director.
Deadline has learned that Wilde is attached to direct the Christmas comedy “Naughty.” The film is being written by “Cocaine Bear” scribe Jimmy Warden.
Described as Bridesmaids in the North Pole, the film follows Mallory whose only hope of securing custody of her son from her gaslighting trashbag ex is to find Santa Claus in the North Pole and convince him to testify in her divorce hearing.
Do I really need to recap the behind the scenes drama that occurred on Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling”? It’s now the stuff of Hollywood legend. It’s been rumored that Wilde was not the sole director of that film — here’s looking at you, Florence Pugh.
