Sydney Sweeney cast in Lindsey Anderson Beer's reimagined Sleepy Hollow
Lindsey Anderson Beer will direct and adapt the film, which comes after Putnam made a preemptive acquisition amid strong industry competition.
- On June 2, actress Sydney Sweeney joined the film adaptation of Lindsey Anderson Beer's debut novel, Hollow, a reimagining of Washington Irving's 1820 short story told from Katrina Van Tassel's perspective.
- Beer's novel portrays Tassel as a "central figure in a dangerous mystery and seductive supernatural love triangle." The story blends gothic atmosphere, psychological intrigue, and erotic thriller elements into a contemporary, high-concept reinvention of the classic tale.
- Production partners include LuckyChap, Beer's Lab Brew banner, and Sweeney's Honey Trap Banner, marking the first official film for Sweeney's newly formed production company. The company recently established a first-look deal with Sony Pictures.
- Putnam, an imprint of Penguin Random House, preemptively acquired the novel following significant industry competition immediately upon submission. The film package is expected to hit the market this week, likely sparking a bidding war among interested studios.
- Beer previously directed the 2023 supernatural horror film Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, while Sweeney recently concluded her run on HBO's Euphoria. The novel is scheduled for fall 2027 publication, timed to align with the film's development.
