Sydney Sweeney will star in and produce an upcoming psychological horror film titled “Immaculate,” from Black Bear Pictures. The film reunites Sweeney with director Michael Mohan, who will direct from a script by Andrew Lobel. Sweeney and Mohan previously worked on “The Voyeurs” in 2021. Principal photography will commence in January 2023.
Sweeney stars in the film as Cecilia, a woman of devout faith who is offered a fulfilling new role at an illustrious Italian convent. Her warm welcome to the picture-perfect Italian countryside is interrupted, however, as it becomes clearer to Cecilia that her new home harbors dark and horrifying secrets.
