It is pertinent to note that author Joe will be an executive producer of the upcoming movie along with other producers including Underground’s Trevor Engelson and Folbe, Room 101’s Steven Schneider and Vertigo’s Roy Lee as well as Mira Yoon.

Earlier in an interview with Vanity Fair, the Euphoria star opened up about producing this project.

“I love being able to have a seat at the table, have creative say over decisions that would help benefit the project, whether it be the character or budget or time frame, anything that I can do that can help the project succeed,” explained the 27-year-old.

Elsewhere in the interview, Sydney slammed hypocrite individuals who publicly promoted feminist values but privately criticised the younger peers.

“It’s very disheartening to see women tear other women down,” stated the Immaculate actress.

Sydney pointed out that women “who are successful in other avenues of their industry see younger talent working really hard – hoping to achieve whatever dreams that they may have – and then trying to bash and discredit any work that they’ve done”.

“’Women empowering other women.’ None of it’s happening. All of it is fake,” added the actress.

Meanwhile, Sydney will also be seen in The Housemaid, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by Freida McFadden.
