Sydney Sweeney turns producer?

Actor Sydney Sweeney, known for Emmy-nominated performances in the television series Euphoria and The White Lotus, has launched her own production company, Honey Trap. According to entertainment news outlet Deadline, Honey Trap has secured a first-look deal with Sony Pictures, the studio behind the romantic comedy hit Anyone But You, in which Sweeney starred and served as an executive producer.

Kaylee McGregor, Sweeney’s longtime creative collaborator, will serve as president of production and development at the company. Sweeney is already developing several projects with Sony. Among them is TriStar Pictures’ remake of Barbarella, which will be directed by Edgar Wright. The film is based on Jean-Claude Forest’s French comic book series and follows the 1968 cult classic that starred Jane Fonda. The screenplay is being written by Jane Goldman and Honey Ross.

The actor recently featured alongside Amanda Seyfried in Lionsgate’s adaptation of bestselling novel The Housemaid. Directed by Paul Feig, the film earned nearly USD 400 million worldwide.

She is set to reprise her role opposite Kirsten Dunst in the sequel, The Housemaid’s Secret, which Lionsgate plans to begin shooting later this year.
