Harry Styles, Chris Pine and Florence Pugh have been ordered into quarantine after a crew member on their new movie tested positive for coronavirus

According to Deadline, the person who tested positive was not a member of the principal cast but was someone who was “in close enough proximity to them that the shut down was deemed necessary to find out if anyone else on the production has been exposed.”

As yet, there has only been one confirmed positive test among those working on the set.

Production on the movie – which has been following strict protocols due to the pandemic, including regular testing – is expected to resume in Los Angeles as soon as the 14-day quarantine period ends.

The psychological thriller – which also stars Gemma Chan and KiKi Lane - is set in a utopian community of 1950s California and focuses on a housewife who discovers a disturbing truth about her seemingly perfect life.

Plot details are being kept under wraps but it is known that 'Little Women' star Florence will play the housewife, whilst KiKi, 28, has been drafted in as a replacement for Dakota Johnson, who bowed out of the movie due to scheduling conflicts.

It is not the only scheduling problem that has affected the project, as former One Direction singer Harry signed up after Shia LaBeouf had to depart the film.
