Lindsey Anderson Beer To Write And Direct Adaptation Of Her Novel ‘Hollow’ Starring Sydney Sweeney Who Will Produce Through Her Honey Trap Banner

Here is a hot new project set to come out later this week that's already causing a lot of excitement in the movie industry. Filmmaker and writer Lindsey Anderson Beer has sold her first novel, *Hollow to Putnam*, through an imprint of Penguin Random House. Now, she's planning to make a movie version of the book, and actress Sydney Sweeney has signed on to star in it.

Beer will direct the film and write the script.

 The movie will be produced by LuckyChap along with Beer through her production company Lab Brew, and also by Sweeney through her company Honey Trap. This will be Honey Trap's first big movie project after the company was recently announced by Deadline.

The novel, *Putnam*, was picked up by a major publisher before it could go to auction.

 This publisher is known for launching a lot of bestsellers. As soon as the book was submitted, it caused a lot of interest in the industry.

The story is a fresh take on *The Legend of Sleepy Hollow*, but from the point of view of Katrina Van Tassel.

 Instead of being just a love interest, she's shown as the main character in a gripping mystery and a dangerous love triangle with supernatural elements. The novel mixes gothic style, psychological suspense, and erotic thriller themes into a modern, high-concept version of the classic tale.

Sydney Sweeney will play Katrina Van Tassel in the movie version.

 The book is moving quickly towards publication and is set to come out in the fall of 2027, timed to match the development of the film.

The book has already caught the attention of movie scouts, and the film idea has generated a lot of interest before even the scripts were read.

 Everyone involved—Sweeney, Honey Trap, and LuckyChap—has moved quickly to get on board, showing strong alignment in their goals and visions.

Sources say the project is 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.
