Sydney Sweeney lands H๏τ movie role in thriller based on English teacher’s wild Reddit short story

Sydney Sweeney just signed on produce and star in a Gone Girl-style thriller called I Pretended to Be a Missing Girl, which Warner Bros. won the rights to in a compeтιтive bidding war.

Surprisingly, the source material came from English high school teacher Joe Cote, who wrote a wild short story on Reddit in 2021 about a homeless drifter who pretends she’s missing woman Mikayla Murray in order to rob her family, but everything goes awry.

The 27-year-old Euphoria stunner was the one who enlisted Oscar-winning screenwriter Eric Roth – who penned Dune, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Forrest Gump – to adapt the Reddit short story for the big screen.

Sydney will likely also bring on board her Fifty-Fifty Films producing partner and fiancé of three years – Jonathan Davino – whom she’s been dating as far back as 2018.

On November 25, Sweeney wrapped her role as professional boxer Christy Martin in David Michôd’s unтιтled biopic, which she called ‘one of the most emotional, transformative experiences of my life.’
