Florence Pugh jetting to Dublin next week for Irish movie premiere

Florence Pugh is coming to Dublin next week for the premiere of new Netflix movie 'The Wonder.'

The 'Don't Worry Darling' actress stars as the lead in this new Irish production, which is based off of a novel by Emma Donoghue. The premiere will take place at Smithfield's Lighthouse Cinema on October 26, a week before the film's Irish release.

Florence will be joined by her Irish co-stars, including Niamh Algar, Elaine Cassidy and Kila Lord Cassidy. The movie was filmed exclusively in Ireland and is set in the midlands.

The ominous story follows Florence's character Lib Wright, an English nurse who is sent to observe a medical marvel in the Irish countryside. An 11-year-old local has managed to go without food or water for over four months, claiming she survives on God's faith alone. While tourists swarm to the village to try and spot the girl, Lib begins to suspect that darker forces are at play.

Emma Donoghue, bestselling author of 'Room', wrote 'The Wonder' back in 2016. She is a co-writer of the screenplay and will also be in attendance at the premiere.

Florence has gained critical acclaim for her role in the controversial production 'Don't Worry Darling' alongside male lead Harry Styles. The English actress was previously nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in 'Little Women'.

'The Wonder' has received praise since its premieres at several international film festivals in recent weeks. It will be released in select cinemas on November 2 and made available internationally on Netflix from November 16.
