Sydney Sweeney is adding another new movie to her growing plate! The 27-year-old actress will be starring in and producing a new film based on a four-year-old short story on Reddit, shared by a high school English teacher, THR reports. Keep reading to find out more… Oscar-winning Forrest Gump writer Eric Roth is set to write the script for the movie, based on Joe Cote‘s Reddit story, titled, “I pretended to be a missing girl so I could rob her family.” The movie “centers on a young woman who shows up at a family’s doorsteps ten years after their 18-year-old daughter went missing.

Her plan is to convince the family she is their missing child, and stay just for one night — long enough to steal some valuables and get away.” Sydney is actually the one who brought the writer on board, and Warner Bros has won the rights to distribute the film.

She will produce through her Fifty-Fifty Films production banner, with the author of the original Reddit story, Joe Cote also executive producing.

The actress has a handful of projects in the works, including The Housemaid, the Christy Martin biopic and the upcoming third season of Euphoria.
