Both Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney have become known for playing against type to take on challenging roles that we might not otherwise expect them to be in. Moore has played everything from a porn star in Boogie Nights to a troubled housewife in The Hours, while Sweeney went from playing a telepathic superhero in Madame Web, to a naive nun in Immaculate. Now, the two are together on-screen for the first time, playing mother and daughter in the chilling new Apple TV+ film Echo Valley, and we have our first look at the eerie new project.

First-look photos courtesy of Vanity Fair (seen below) show Moore and Sweeney as Kate and Claire Garrett in Echo Valley, which was directed by Michael Pearce (Beast) and written by Brad Ingelsby (The Way Back). The new thriller promises to zig when it should zag, keeping audiences on the edge of their seat as its plot unfolds.

A Reddit short story is making the jump to the big screen. Sydney Sweeney is attached to star in I Pretended to Be a Missing Girl, an upcoming movie based on a Reddit short story by Joe Cote.

Per Deadline, Sweeney will also produce I Pretended to Be a Missing Girl through her Fifty-Fifty Films. The movie is set up at Warner Bros., with Eric Roth set to adapt Cote's Reddit short story. Roth is best known for scripting Forrest Gump (1994), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), and Denis Villeneuve's 2021 movie Dune. He also provided additional literary material for the 2024 sequel Dune: Part Two. The short story centers around a drifter who "impersonates a missing girl to rob the girl’s family — only to realize she’s made a terrible mistake."

Sweeney is currently one of Hollywood's most in-demand actors, with several projects in various stages of development.

Sydney Sweeney is turning a chilling Reddit story into a film. I Pretended to Be a Missing Girlis in the works at Warner Bros. after the company won the rights to the package, beating out its competition. Not only is Sweeney set to star in the film, but she's also adding the project to her list of productions she will produce via her Fifty-Fifty Films. Along with her, Oscar-winning Forrest Gump American screenwriter Eric Roth is expected to write the script.

Written by Joe Cote, a high school Massachusetts English educator, "I Pretended to Be a Missing Girl So I Could Rob Her Family" is about the consequences of greed with intense twists and turns. Ten years after a family's daughter disappeared, a young woman shows up at the house of her family with the intention of pocketing valuable items. Initially, she was supposed to just stay for one night; however,...

Here’s a cool one in the works at Warner Bros: Sydney Sweeney is attached to star in and produce I Pretended to Be a Missing Girl, via her Fifty-Fifty Films.

The movie project is based on a Reddit short story by Joe Cote. Fifty-Fifty notched Oscar-winning Forrest Gump and Dune scribe Eric Roth to adapt it.

In the short story, a drifter impersonates a missing girl to rob the girl’s family — only to realize she’s made a terrible mistake.

Vertigo’s Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, Trevor Engelson and Aaron Folbe at Underground are attached to produce.

Sweeney, the White Lotus and Euphoria star, is taking a bigger hand in producing the projects she stars in. She was an executive producer on Sony’s 2023 romantic comedy hit Anyone But You ($220.3 million global box office gross and $103M net profit after ancillaries), and she shepherded the nun horror...

Four years ago, a high school English teacher posted a short story to Reddit, a tale with Gone Girl-worthy twists and turns. Now, Joe Cote is in the midst of his own real-life plot twist.

The Massachusetts-based educator’s project is in development as a feature, with Sydney Sweeney attached to star and produce, and Oscar-winning Forrest Gump scribe Eric Roth penning the script.

Warner Bros. has won the rights to the package in a competitive situation that now puts the teacher on Hollywood’s radar. He first landed representation after manager Aaron Folbe of Underground Entertainment stumbled upon the story and sought Cote out for a meeting.

Sweeney’s involvement on the project then pushed it into overdrive, with her bringing Roth aboard.

Cote’s story, titled “I pretended to be a missing girl,” centers on a young woman who shows up at a family’s doorsteps ten...

Ready to get “Together?”

The film, which premiered earlier this year in the midnight section of the Sundance Film Festival, places real-life couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie in a body-horror scenario. It has brand-new teaser trailer out Wednesday, which you can watch below (if you dare).

Written and directed by Australian filmmaker Michael Shanks and produced by Brie and Franco, among others, the movie was a sensation when it premiered at Sundance and kicked off a bidding war, with A24, Apple TV+ and Focus Features among the potential distributors. Ultimately, Neon won the worldwide distribution rights to the film for a whopping $17 million. It was the first major sale at this year’s sleepy Sundance and made the movie even buzzier.

The trailer doesn’t give much away, but the film is said to be a gooey metaphor for codependency, which you can totally get. The official synopsis reads: “Years into their relationship,...

There is something very British about the new Netflix Italian period drama The Leopard. Upon doing some research, it seems the Brits have, in fact, adapted this 1860 novel by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa to create an illustrious miniseries that will consume your senses from start to finish. The show, set in 1860s Sicily, follows the titular character, the Prince of Salina, and his family through a time of distress and fear. On the surface, The Leopard seems to be a regular period drama with all of the ingredients that make them so lovable: a love triangle, family drama, people going to war, and a lot more of the usual fluff. But what stood out to me the most about The Leopard is that even amidst all of that chaos, at its heart, it is a drama about a father-daughter relationship.

As you can imagine, the Italian countryside is an absolute delight,...

Sydney Sweeney’s fiance is once again a hot topic of discussion on social media.

Thankfully, this time it’s not because of unfounded rumors that Sydney is having an affair with one of her co-stars.

Rather, Jonathan Davino is making headlines simply because he popped up in one of Sydney’s recent Instagram posts.

Does Sydney Sweeney want to be a young mother? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Sydney Sweeney isn’t pregnant, but she has indeed thought about it. The Euphoria star wants to be a young mom and there is no suspicion about it. But here’s the thing—she’s a little wary of how Hollywood treats women who have kids early. Not surprising, right?

Kylie Jenner shook things up by having Stormi at 20, and Sweeney might be contemplating a similar path. But the thing is: she didn’t grow up with billionaire parents. The actress actually knows what it’s like to check price tags. So, she’s not rushing into mom life without a substantial plan. So, what’s stopping her? Let’s plunge into it.

Sydney Sweeney wants to be a young mom

Sydney Sweeney has her fantasy life mapped out, and it involves babies. The 27-year-old has always envisioned herself as a young mama.

Many Oscar contenders have been dive-bombed over the years, but Best Actress nominee Karla Sofía Gascón did herself in: first for complaining about rival Fernanda Torres, then for resurfaced tweets on her now-deleted X account (@karsiagascon). In past posts that went viral this week, she dissed Muslims, George Floyd, and Oscars diversity, among other things. We debate: If Gascón is out of the running, does she bring down her movie as well, which leads the field with 13 nominations?

Ryan Lattanzio is back from Sundance, which Friday announced its awards; he and Anne are both bingeing on the Sundance portal. While some films came in with distribution, the market seems slow.

Neon has...

It appears that body horror wins again! After the great success of The Substance, which was recently nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, any studio would be smart to snatch up the next potential body horror sensation. Another likely sensation, Together, which stars Dave Franco and Alison Brie, screened at the Sundance Film Festival and immediately generated buzz. The movie made waves following its midnight premiere, and now it's the first official sell from Sundance.

Per Variety, Neon has acquired the worldwide rights to Together following its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. This marks the first sale of the event, and the film found itself in a pretty big bidding war with A24 and Mubi also trying to court the body horror film. The latter would've been a proper home as well, since they had found solid success with the body horror film The Substance. But Neon...

It's always exciting when a new horror film gets picked up, particularly by distributors like A24 or Neon. These companies have a keen eye for great horror content, and more often than not, the films they acquire are usually both unique and boundary-pushing. One of these indie powerhouses just snagged the worldwide rights to a new body horror, and based on what we know so far about this movie, it's something you're going to want to see.

We're talking about Neon, the studio that delivered what is arguably the best horror film of 2024, Longlegs. If you haven't seen Longlegs, maybe you're familiar with other Neon horror movies such as Immaculate, Cuckoo, Possessor and Infinity Pool. Now, the company has another horror flick to add to its lineup, and we're hoping it hits theaters this year.

The film is titled Together, and it stars real-life husband and wife Alison Brie and Dave Franco.

2024 delivered an incredible lineup of horror films, including A Quiet Place: Day One, Abigail, Alien: Romulus, Heretic, MaXXXine, Trap, Smile 2, The Substance and Nosferatu. Yet, one movie from last year truly rose above the rest. That film is Longlegs, starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage. After leaving theaters, fans eagerly waited for its arrival on streaming. Now, that day is finally here.

Longlegs is now available to stream, but not for everyone. On Jan. 8, 2025, the smash-hit horror film became available to watch on Prime Video but only in select locations. Those locations are Prime Video in the U.K. and Ireland. With only these two locations having access at the moment, this leaves fans outside those regions in suspense. They're stuck having to resort to alternative methods to watch the film.

For example, the only way people in the U.S. can watch Longlegs is by renting or buying it on digital platforms.

Here’s How Sydney Sweeney Feels About Not Going For Breast Reduction Surgery (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Sydney Sweeney hit us with some unexpected teenage tea. Back in high school, the Euphoria star wasn’t feeling her curves—specifically, her chest. She even had a whole plan to shrink them as soon as she turned 18. Yeah, she was that serious about it.

But then came the ultimate mum intervention. According to Lad Bible, the actress’ mom straight-up told her, “Don’t do it. You’ll regret it in college.” And guess what? She nailed it. Looking back, Sydney couldn’t agree more. “I’m so glad I didn’t,” she said during an interview with Glamour in 2023. “I like them. They’re my best friends.”

But it wasn’t always smooth sailing. Teenage Sydney Sweeney wasn’t vibing with her body. “I went through that process of covering my body up at such a young age,...

The Oscars are meant to celebrate the best of the year, but they are just as infamous for the movies they ignore. Every year the Academy releases a list of films that can be nominated in most categories (this year’s list features 323 films) and a shorter list for best picture (207 in 2024).

Not all films make the lists. Movies that didn’t open in certain US cities and didn’t show in theaters for long enough, premiered on streaming, screened outside of the year, or didn’t pay the fees aren’t eligible. Then there’s also a slew of genre and low-budget movies from all over the world that just don’t win awards. Some of these omissions are surprising. They have big stars, got some of the best reviews of the year, made money at the box office, or set the streaming world afire. But, in the end,...

The acclaimed Netflix miniseries put its own unique spin on The Masque of the Red Death, and we're now hearing that a feature adaptation is in the works. Deadline reports that A24 and Picturehouse are developing the project, with Charlie Polinger set to write and direct.

This take on the short story is described as "wildly revisionist and darkly comedic." Sydney Sweeney is in talks to play the lead role. No details on her character were disclosed, but we assume it'll be a gender-switched take on Prince Prospero.

‘The Masque of the Red Death’ is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe about a prince named Prospero who tries to avoid a deadly plague called the Red Death. He throws a fancy, masked party in his castle, locking himself and his wealthy guests inside to stay safe. However, the Red Death finds its way in, showing that no one can escape death.

Sweeney herself already starred in a horror movie relatively recently, ‘Immaculate’ which received mixed reviews. Critics praised Sydney Sweeney’s performance, but opinions on the film’s execution were divided, with some appreciating its bold themes and others finding it uneven.

So...

The original Poe short story follows a prince who attempts to avoid a dangerous plague, known as the Red Death, by hiding in his abbey. Details behind this new take are being kept under wraps. Sources say the film will shoot this year.

2024 is almost over! It went super fast, had a lot of ups and downs, and at times, threatened to drive some of us to the brink of insanity. I’m sure 2025 promises most of the same, but if there is one thing we can celebrate, it’s the glut of amazing movies, books, and general nerdy stuff that keeps us entertained and loving the horror genre.

The Substance might be the best thing I saw this year. I always have a hard time picking my absolute favorite, but this might be it. Coralie Fargeat’s takedown of beauty culture was one of the best times I had in the theater this year.

The 30-year-old actress was seen on a coffee run along Melrose Place with David on Thursday afternoon (January 2) in Los Angeles.

Dakota and David were previously spotted going for a hike together back in April 2023.

David is a producer who has worked on HBO shows like The White Lotus and White House Plumbers, as well as movies such as Uncharted and Immaculate. He also worked on TV comedies like Jury Duty, Superstore, and The Bold Type. He’s been nominated for three Emmy Awards and won one for The White Lotus.

Dakota is currently preparing to work on a new project with her younger sister Elle Fanning.

You know how Hollywood can be pretty brutal when it comes to beauty standards, right? Well, Sydney Sweeney, who you might recognize from “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus,” has been making waves lately – and not just for her incredible acting chops. She’s become something of a hero in the fight against body shaming, and honestly, we could all learn a thing or two from her approach.

What makes her story particularly compelling is how she’s managed to turn social media criticism into a powerful platform for change. Her journey from facing online trolls to becoming a voice for body positivity shows us that sometimes our biggest challenges can become our greatest opportunities to inspire others. Let’s dive into how this rising star is changing the game when it comes to body confidence and self-acceptance.

Standing strong against online...

2024 featured plenty of unique and frightening horror movies that left a strong impression on the world. Films like Smile 2 and Longlegs succeeded in theaters by featuring plenty of surprising horror movie jump scares, as well as a great amount of spine-tingling suspense.

For the most part, a trend that emerges during any particular year of cinema doesn't have anything genuinely competitive about it. Sure, there may be the "Dante's Peak" and "Volcano," "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon" years, where highly similar projects are developed to compete with each other, but most trends that occur are less about an intentional duel and are more an indication of where the culture's head is at. Remember 2017, when a John Denver song turned up in no less than five separate movies? While there's no one catch-all explanation for such a thing happening, it's intriguing and potentially illuminating to identify the trend and see what, if anything, it speaks to in the contemporary real world.

The latest fiasco surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s bikini photos proves that constantly being in the spotlight comes with its own predicaments. A few days ago, candid photos of Sweeney enjoying the sun, draped in a bikini, were making the rounds on the internet. While the actress looked happy and confident having a chill day without makeup and inhibitions about her body, people on the internet had a lot to say.

A relaxing day for the Euphoria actress quickly turned into a body shaming session with exceedingly degrading remarks about her looks by netizens. Thankfully, they failed to put a downer on her spirit, as she recently hit back at them in her signature witty style.

Sydney Sweeney was body-shamed on the internet

One of the most popular actresses of current times, Sydney Sweeney shot to fame with her portrayal of Cassie Howard in Euphoria.

Sydney Sweeney has been steadily acting for over 15 years, but her big break, arguably, did not come until 2019’s Euphoria. Like Euphoria, many of Sweeney’s early roles in her career have been on television, but she has expanded into movies as well with blockbusters like Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, horror like Immaculate, and rom-coms like Anyone But You.

Sweeney might have a reputation for appearing like a classic blonde bombshell, but she appears in movies and TV projects as more than simply a sex symbol. Her roles have been varied, even if they are not always as well received, like 2024’s Madame Web, her first foray into the superhero genre. Sweeney has more than demonstrated that she has a well of emotion to tap into and a great grasp of the characters she plays. These are Sydney Sweeney’s best movie and TV roles in her...

Sydney Sweeney just can’t catch a break. Sort of.

Her career is spectacular. She’s an immensely in-demand actress.

But, despite being one of the most famously beautiful women on the planet, she remains a target for body-shaming trolls and a fixation for incels.

Sydney is clapping back. But … what in the world has these trolls in such a frenzy?

Last week, paparazzi photos of Sydney Sweeney on the beach caused a stir.

The actress has appeared topless on Euphoria, so this wasn’t people hoping for bikini pics to show what they’d never seen before. Strangely, it also wasn’t just normal run-of-the-mill lust for a beautiful celebrity. Rather, she became a target of outrage.

Various misogynist accounts began to target Sydney,...
