Heads Will Roll: Sydney Sweeney to Star in Gothic Thriller ‘Hollow’ for Sony

Sydney Sweeney is on an absolute tear right now—fresh off her performance in The Housemaid (now available on Starz and Prime Video), the star is locking down her next major genre project. A Trip to Sleepy Hollow Sony Pictures has won a competitive bidding war for Hollow, a high-concept feature film adaptation of the upcoming gothic novel by Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines). Sweeney is officially attached to produce and star in the film, while Beer will write the screenplay and direct. If you think you know The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, think again.

Told from the perspective of Katrina Van Tassel (the role famously played by Christina Ricci in Tim Burton’s 1999 classic), Hollow reframes the iconic heroine. Rather than serving as a passive romantic trophy for Ichabod Crane, Katrina is thrust into the center of a dangerous mystery and a seductive, supernatural love triangle. The project is being
