Sydney Sweeney is expanding her Hollywood footprint yet again, signing on to star in and produce Hollow, a dark supernatural thriller from filmmaker Lindsey Anderson Beer.
Sydney Sweeney expands her role in Hollywood by producing Hollow, a dark supernatural thriller reimagining Sleepy Hollow.
The project adapts Beer’s debut novel, which reimagines Washington Irving’s classic The Legend of Sleepy Hollow for contemporary audiences. Beer will write and direct the film, bringing her forthcoming book directly to the screen.
Through her recently launched production company Honey Trap, Sweeney will serve as a producer on the project—a move that underscores her growing ambitions behind the camera. The actress has steadily taken on more producing roles in recent years alongside her acting career.
Hollow promises a fresh, grittier version of the beloved American ghost story, blending horror, mystery and psychological suspense into something designed for modern viewers. Plot specifics remain largely under wraps for now.
The role marks a continuation of Sweeney’s foray into genre filmmaking. Following acclaimed performances in projects like Immaculate, she’s established herself as a rising talent in horror and suspense-driven content.
For Beer, the adaptation represents a major career achievement. The accomplished screenwriter and director, known for her work on Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, will now helm her own literary adaptation.
The announcement arrives as Sweeney continues building her production empire. Honey Trap recently secured a first-look deal with Sony Pictures and is currently developing multiple film projects alongside her demanding acting schedule.
With a strong source material, an experienced horror filmmaker, and one of Hollywood’s hottest stars attached, Hollow is already emerging as one of the most buzzworthy genre adaptations in development.
