‘Hollow’ Puts a New Spin on ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ With Sydney Sweeney

Sydney Sweeney is taking a really unique swing with her next project, Hollow, which reimagines the novel The Legend of Sleepy Hollow through the POV of Katrina Van Tassel, the central figure in a dangerous mystery & supernatural love triangle.

Sweeney will star as Van Vassel in the film directed by Lindsey Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines), reports Deadline.

The novel is a bold 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 of the classic tale.

Beer will direct and adapt the script.

The film is based on Beer’s debut novel of the same name which was sold to Putnam, an imprint of Penguin Random House.

LuckyChap will produce along with Beer through her Lab Brew banner as well as Sweeney, who will produce through her Honey Trap banner.
