Sydney Sweeney Circling Legendary's "Gundam" Movie

Yara Sameh Sydney Sweeney is in final talks to star in Legendary's 'Gundam' movie. 'Sweet Tooth' showrunner Jim Mickle is set to write and direct the live-action film, which is co-developed between Legendary and Bandai Namco Filmworks. Mickle also serves as a producer on the project with Linda Moran through their company, Nightshade. The Japanese military science fiction media franchise 'Gundam' first launched in 1979 as a TV series from Yoshiyuki Tomino, 'Mobile Suit Gundam.' It grew in popularity through the 1980s due to a wide array of adaptations across animated feature films, novels, manga, toys, models, and video games. The original series is set in the distant future in what is known as the Universal Century, as human colonies in space fight for independence from Earth. The battles are fought largely through giant robots called Mobile Suits. Legendary first announced the 'Gundam' film in 2021, with 'Kong: Skull Island' filmmaker Jordan Vogt-Roberts as the project's original director. Plot and character details are currently under wraps. Sweeney's recent film work includes 'Madame Web,' 'Immaculate' and Ron Howard's 'Eden.' The actor and producer has a slew of projects in the pipeline: she's set to appear in the AppleTV+ film 'Echo Valley' alongside Julianne Moore, the Freida McFadden adaptation 'The Housemaid' with Amanda Seyfried, Colman Domingo's 'Scandalous' and an untitled biopic in which she stars as boxer Christy Martin. On television, Sweeney is also expected to return for the third season of HBO's smash hit 'Euphoria' alongside Zendaya and Jacob Elordi. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
