Wilde is directing the film which will be adapted from a screenplay by Katie Silberman. It is set in a California desert during the 1950s.

As per Fox News, the 26-year-old singer, mostly known for his musical abilities with the band One Direction, made his foray into acting last year in Christopher Nolan's 'Dunkirk' where he was cast by Nolan because the director thought Styles had "an old fashioned face," which made his role more believable and period-correct.

Wilde took home the Independent Spirit Award for a best first feature for 'Booksmart,' a coming-of-age buddy film about two high school friends who make up for lost fun on the eve of their graduation.

She is also set to direct an upcoming Marvel project and will helm and executive produce the Searchlight feature 'Perfect.' (ANI)
