Beer will both direct and write the script.
The movie will be produced by LuckyChap along with Beer through her company Lab Brew and also by Sweeney through her company Honey Trap. This will be Honey Trap's first movie they officially produce, as Deadline reported earlier today.
The book, *Putnam*, is known for launching more bestsellers than any other publisher.
It was bought by Putnam before it could go up for auction, showing how much interest there was right from the start. Sources say the book caused a lot of competition in the industry as soon as it was submitted.
The story is a fresh take on *The Legend of Sleepy Hollow*, told from the point of view of Katrina Van Tassel.
Instead of being just a love interest, Van Tassel is the main character in a dangerous mystery and a mysterious love triangle. It mixes gothic feelings, psychological secrets, and thriller elements into a modern, high-concept version of the old tale.
Sydney Sweeney will play Van Tassel in the movie version.
The book is moving quickly towards publication and is set to come out in Fall 2027, matching the timeline for the film.
The book quickly caught the attention of movie scouts, and the movie project has already gotten a lot of interest before any details were shared.
The story fits well with what everyone involved wants, which is why Sweeney, Honey Trap, and LuckyChap all came on board very fast.
Sources say the package is almost ready to be officially announced this week.
Sydney Sweeney is represented by Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
Lindsey Anderson Beer is represented by Brillstein and WME. LuckyChap is represented by CAA and Entertainment 360.
