Sydney Sweeney, David Jonsson in Talks to Play Kim Novak and Sammy Davis Jr. in Love Affair Drama Directed by Colman Domingo
Colman Domingo is directing a film about Kim Novak and Sammy Davis Jr.'s love affair, with Sydney Sweeney and David Jonsson attached to star.
Colman Domingo is set to make his feature directorial debut with “Scandalous,” a period drama about the 1950’s romance between movie star Kim Novak and singer Sammy Davis Jr., and the bigoted scrutiny that the pair faced once their affair came to light. Sweeney is coming off of the Glen Powell rom-com “Anyone but You,” Sony’s Marvel spin-off “Madame Web” and the indie horror feature “Immaculate.” She is currently shooting a biopic about boxer Christy Martin ahead of a planned return to “Euphoria” in 2025. Jonsson most recently appeared in “Alien: Romulus,” with other credits including the romance “Rye Lane” and a main role across the first two seasons of HBO’s “Industry.”
