Olivia attended the In & Of Itself Opening Night with Jason Sudeikis at the Daryl Roth Theater on April 12 in New York City. We added candids of her arriving at the theater and 2 photos of her inside the venue. She looks lovely, they both look great! Take a look!
NEW YORK — A new stage adaptation of George Orwell’s chilling dystopic novel 1984 will star Olivia Wilde, making her Broadway debut. Producers Sonia Friedman and Scott Rudin said Monday that the play will also star Tom Sturridge and Tony Award-winner Reed Birney. It will begin performances in May at the Hudson Theatre. First published in 1949, Orwell’s classic tale of a society run by Big Brother in which facts are distorted and suppressed in a cloud of “newspeak” has topped the Amazon.com best-seller lists. Olivia Wilde, who recently wrapped films “A Vigilante” and “Life Itself” opposite Oscar Isaac, will play Julia, the woman with whom the dystopian tale’s protagonist, Winston Smith, begins an affair. Reed Birney will play the spy O’Brien. The play arrives in New York after winning acclaim in four different runs in the U.K. (including one on the West End), and after the George Orwell title itself suddenly became a hot topic in the wake of the presidential election. Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan co-adapt and co-direct the production, which on Broadway will also star Wayne Duvall, Carl Hendrick Louis, Nick Mills, Michael Potts, and Cara Seymour.

We added new photos of Olivia around the trailer and filming scenes in Staten Island for Life itself on March 29 in New York City. For some reason these new photos have been dated to April 5 by the photographer, who also indicated they were taken during the filming of reshoots which is completely false. There were no reshoots happening yesterday. Nonetheless, they are lovely and far more interesting than the initial ones, take a look!
We added new photos of Olivia filming new scenes of Life itself alongside Oscar Isaac on Tuesday March 28 and Wednesday March 29 in Brox, New York City. These photos are super cool, Olivia is wearing two different wigs! She’s wearing a black one with bangs as she leaves her trailer (kinda gives us a Quorra vibe there) and a long dark blonde one as she’s filming a Fraternity Keg Party scene. She looks stunning, check them out!
