Showbiz stars may begin with a shared script but their success story is ultimately written in the final act. Though Sydney Sweeney

has only started, the finish line already looks worthy of a best-seller. Despite her humble beginnings in Hollywood, Sweeney is presently the hottest ticket on every director’s wishlist, with some A-lister producers joining the queue, waiting for some clearance on her acting calendar. The recent buzz surrounds the Euphoria

actor to star in the upcoming adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death.

While Sweeney has her plates full with projects extending this year and beyond, here is the scoop on the latest nugget.

According to an exclusive new report by Deadline, Sydney Sweeney is in talks

to star in the upcoming adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe’s short story, The Masque of the Red Death. The venture would be

a dark comedic take with A24 and Picturestart joining forces

. While A24 shoulders domestic distribution, Charlie Polinger writes and directs the project. As per sources, the filming is scheduled for sometime later this year.

The original 1842 short story by Poe revolves around Prince Prospero and his attempts to escape a deadly plague, called the Red Death, by hiding in his abbey. More details on the cast and release date are under wraps as of now. However, Polinger will also executive produce alongside Lucy McKendrick. Although a confirmed status of Sweeney’s onboarding for the project may arrive soon, fans might have to hold their horses until then.

That said, while Sydney Sweeney may be in negotiation for the project for now, Jennifer Aniston

too has her eyes set on the star for her 9 to

5

remake.

Jennifer Aniston recently wrapped up The Morning Show’

s fourth season, and since then, she has been busy plotting her next big move—the 9 to 5

remake. According to Life & Style’s report, Aniston is eyeing the polyglot actor, Sydney Sweeney, her co-star Zendaya, and the Wicked

actor, Ariana Grande. In fact, Aniston will star and produce the film. Aniston’s wishes to bring the trio stems from the comedic gold they have delivered over the years.

Yet, with Sweeney’s calendar already brimming with projects

alongside Zendaya and Grande’s super-busy roster, scheduling conflicts may hinder their confirmation. Although the Disney-owned Twentieth Century Studios has yet to wave the green flag for the project, the Friends

star is currently focused on getting a yes from one of these stars. However, with Sweeney already switching gears for yet another high-profile venture, the potential of 9 to 5

reboot’s dream team hangs like a cliffhanger.
