What is the update on Sydney Sweeney’s Sleepy Hollow movie?

Sony is making a new Sleepy Hollow movie based on a novel titled Hollow by Lindsey Anderson Beer. The novel is set for a launch in fall 2027. It will be published by Putnam, an imprint of Penguin Random House.

Hollow will be a gothic reimagining of the classic 1820s short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving. The story was adapted into the 1999 acclaimed horror-fantasy movie Sleepy Hollow, featuring Johnny Depp as the main character, Ichabod Crane, alongside Christina Ricci as Katrina Anne Van Tassel and Casper Van Dien as Brom Bones. Basically, these three popular characters formed the love triangle in the film.

In Beer’s novel, however, Katrina Anne Van Tassel will appear as the central figure inside a dangerous mystery and seductive supernatural love triangle. The story will be an amalgamation of gothic atmosphere, psychological intrigue, and erotic thriller elements.

As for the upcoming movie based on Hollow, it will also present the story from the perspective of Katrina Anne Van Tassel, who will be the main character in the reimagining. It’s been revealed that Sony is currently fast-tracking the film, according to Deadline.

While Sydney Sweeney has already joined the cast, Sony is now actively working on finding the right actors for the roles of Brom Bones and Ichabod Crane.

The new Sleepy Hollow movie has Sweeney as the producer alongside Lindsey Anderson Beer, who is also the writer and director. Alexandra Banks and Spencer Walken will serve as the executive producers.

The new movie from Sony has yet to receive an official release window. This project will be another addition to Sweeney’s collaboration with Sony. She has previously featured in movies such as Anyone But You and Madame Web.
