- Belmont Cameli has been cast as Brom Bones in Sony's 'Hollow,' joining Sydney Sweeney in the film adaptation of Lindsey Anderson Beer's debut novel, which reframes 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' through Katrina Van Tassel's perspective as the central figure in a supernatural love triangle.
- Lindsey Anderson Beer is attached to write and direct 'Hollow,' with her novel set for publication by Putnam, an imprint of Penguin Random House, in fall 2027; Beer previously directed 'Pet Sematary: Bloodlines' and wrote 'Sierra Burgess Is a Loser.'
- LuckyChap is producing alongside Beer and Sweeney, who is producing through her newly launched Honey Trap banner — its first film — with Kaylee McGregor serving as President of Production and Development under a first-look deal with Sony.
- The role of Ichabod Crane remains uncast as producers continue searching for the third lead in the love triangle.
- Cameli is coming off his breakout in Prime Video's 'Off Campus,' which drew 36 million viewers in its first 12 days, and recently appeared in 'Until Dawn' and 'The Alto Knights.'
- Sweeney most recently starred opposite Amanda Seyfried in Lionsgate's 'The Housemaid,' a box office hit that greenlit sequel 'The Housemaid's Secret,' and earned critical praise for playing boxer Christy Martin in 'Christy.'
Why it matters: Sony is building out a high-profile literary adaptation — a contemporary, high-concept reimagining of 'Sleepy Hollow' — by pairing Sweeney's rising box office pull (a recent Lionsgate hit) with Cameli, who just broke out on Prime Video's most-watched series, while Beer's dual role as novelist and director gives the project a singular creative vision ahead of the novel's 2027 publication.
