Sydney Sweeney views ‘MADAME WEB’ as a building block for her: “It’s what allowed me to build a relationship with Sony.

In the 'Euphoria' star’s harrowing new film, 'Immaculate', everybody wants a piece of her body. As in real life, Sweeney has other ideas

Ten years ago, Sydney Sweeney read the script for a horror film about the chaste impregnation of a girl at a boarding school in Ireland, the walls closing in as she realises that everyone around her is only interested in her body.

The thriller that she’s currently working on – Echo Valley, where she plays the disturbed daughter of Julianne Moore – is “pretty dark and raw”, but despite leaving her “a bit more depleted” still didn’t linger with her at the end of the day.
