Olivia Wilde is gearing up for another directorial endeavor, this time taking on the challenge of bringing to life the beloved books “A Visit From The Goon Squad” and “The Candy House” in a TV adaptation for A24.
According to Deadline, Wilde is set to helm the adaptation of these two best-selling Jennifer Egan novels.
In recent interviews, Wilde delved into her creative process, drawing inspiration from personal experiences and psychological growth to infuse depth into each character in her upcoming work.
The spotlight intensified on Wilde following a recent interview that sent shockwaves across social media platforms.
The conversation drew comparisons to Megan, who is venturing into the world of directing.
While Wilde has steadily built a reputation through her stellar performances, Megan’s claim to fame lies in her royal connections.
The 41-year-old former “Suits” star, alongside her husband Prince Harry, is reportedly shifting gears towards producing romantic comedies, veering away from their previous focus on documentaries.
Sources suggest that the power couple is charting a new course with a strong emphasis on scripted content, particularly romantic comedies and light-hearted series.
Their multi-million dollar deal with Netflix in 2020 signaled their commitment to creating diverse and engaging programming for audiences worldwide.
Meanwhile, Wilde, who also had a brush with royalty in her past, embarked on a different journey long before her high-profile relationship with Harry Styles.
Prior to her relationships with Jason Sudeikis and Harry Styles, Wilde was married to filmmaker Tao Raspoli, who hails from Italian nobility.
Despite her ties to royalty, Wilde has always distanced herself from any regal associations.
In a candid interview with Playboy, she expressed her aversion to being labeled a princess, emphasizing her gratitude for being embraced by Raspoli’s intriguing family.
While Wilde and Raspoli’s marriage did not culminate in a fairy-tale ending, their bond was characterized by mutual love and a shared passion for art.
Reflecting on their relationship, Wilde highlighted Raspoli’s ability to inject excitement into her life, a quality that drew her to him.
She acknowledged the stark differences in their upbringings but underscored their united front when it came to their advocacy for art and political activism, as revealed in an interview with Women’s Health magazine.
As Wilde continues to carve her path in the world of filmmaking, her journey serves as a testament to the complexities of personal and professional growth.
