Sydney Sweeney to Star in Retelling of SLEEPY HOLLOW

Sony Pictures has landed the new reimagining of "Sleepy Hollow", which is simply titled "Hollow", in a competitive bidding war. Based on Lindsey Anderson Beer's debut novel, the film will be directed, produced and adapted by Beer, and it stars Sydney Sweeney ("Euphoria", "The Housemaid"). Beer also wrote and directed 2023's "Pet Sematary: Bloodlines" and wrote and executive produced "Sierra Burgess Is a Loser".

Beer's novel is a reimagining of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", told through the perspective of Katrina Van Tassel. Reframing one of literature's most iconic heroines, the novel positions Van Tassel not as a romantic prize but as the 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.

The novel will be published by Putnam, an imprint of Penguin Random House, in fall 2027. Translation rights to the book have sold around the world, with record offers from some territories, which is a rare feat for a novel at launch, especially a debut.

Margot Robbie's LuckyChap and Sweeney's Honey Trap banner are also producing. This is Honey Trap's first time producing a feature film, as the newly launched company recently inked a first-look deal with Sony Pictures. Alexandra Banks and Spencer Walken will executive produce for Beer's Lab Brew banner.
