Sydney Sweeney has acquired the film rights to a Reddit post by high school English teacher Joe Cote, titled 'I pretended to be a missing girl so I could rob her family.' The story centers on a girl who lies about being a missing daughter to rob a family. Warner Bros. was involved in the competitive film deal, with Sweeney attached as the star and producer. Notably, this brings attention to Hollywood's trend of adapting Reddit posts, following past adaptations like a post about altering history with modern military tactics.
This week, it was announced that the popular Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney had acquired the film rights to a four-year-old Reddit post.
The story titled 'I pretended to be a missing girl so I could rob her family' is about a girl who pretends to be a missing daughter to rob a family.
