She will be playing the role of Katrina Van Tassel in what is being described as a story with a gothic atmosphere, and will feature psychological and erotic thriller elements.

In short, take my money.

In 1999. A 27 year turnaround on a not-classic is relatively OK as long as they do something interesting with it.

The biggest risk is them doing lazy, low effort slop and hoping Sydney's hotness will carry the movie.

Yeah it’s not false. The film hasn’t been within the cultural zeitgeist in 20 years.

Will be interesting.

Based on a retelling of the story written by the lady (in her yet to be published debut novel) that is adapting said retelling of story.

Sweeney’s production company’s first film, too.

Sony is putting a lot of faith into this one.


Katrina as the main character with a love triangle…basic romantasy of the current age in women’s literature.

quote:

Beer’s novel is a 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.

That sounds terrible. Literally nothing in that description is appealing.

Are we not upset about adapting/subverting the source material?

Just put her on a horse riding topless and print money.
