Hollow
Deadline reports Sony has acquired the feature “package” Hollow, a film adaptation of Lindsey Anderson Beer‘s novel retelling The Legend of Sleepy Hollow as a supernatural love triangle. Sydney Sweeney is attached to star as Katrina van Tassel, with author Beer returning to both write and direct.
Jennifer’s Body 2
According to a new listing from Production Weekly, Jennifer’s Body 2 will begin filming this October in Vancouver with Karyn Kusama attached to direct.
Bond 26
Meanwhile, insider Jeff Snieder alleges (via World of Reel) that actor Harris Dickinson has “officially withdrawn his name from consideration” for the role of the next 007.
Jason Bourne
Relatedly, Matt Damon confirmed he’s working with director Edward Berger on a new Jason Bourne film during his recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show.
I’m talking to—there’s a great director named Ed Berger. He did All Quiet on the Western Front. He’s a wonderful director, and we’re talking about it. We’re just trying to figure out—we’re trying to nail the story down. Because I’d love to do it.
If we do it, we want it to be like the first three. It’s not built like a James Bond, where every movie is its own mission.
Well, I hope we can crack it. I think we have a line of sight on how to do it.
