- Casting now underway for Brom Bones and Ichabod Crane roles

## Summary

Sony Pictures has acquired "Hollow", a reimagining of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" that will star Sydney Sweeney, with Lindsey Anderson Beer writing and directing based on her own debut novel. The project reportedly triggered a competitive bidding situation, with Sony moving quickly to secure it, and marks the first production for Sweeney's newly launched Honey Trap banner, alongside LuckyChap Productions.

Beer's novel retells the classic tale from the perspective of Katrina Van Tassel, recasting her as the central figure in a supernatural mystery and love triangle rather than a passive romantic prize, blending gothic and erotic-thriller elements. The book is due for publication by Putnam (Penguin Random House) in autumn 2027 and has already sold strongly in international translation rights. Sony is now casting the roles of Brom Bones and Ichabod Crane. Sweeney, who has a long history with Sony including "Anyone But You", also recently starred in "The Housemaid" and "Christy", while Beer previously wrote and directed "Pet Sematary: Bloodlines".
