Beer plans to really explore the source material.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Lindsey Beer, the writer and director behind an upcoming Sleepy Hollow reboot movie, teases how her adaptation will explore the book's mysteries. Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow short story was released in 1820, eventually becoming the subject of a number of adaptations.
Now, Beer, who is behind upcoming Stephen King adaptation Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, teases to Collider what audiences can expect from her new take on Sleepy Hollow. While it's still very early days for the project, the writer/ director reveals that she'll be taking a similar approach to the Irving adaptation as she did with the King one. Check out Beer's full comment below:
“Sleepy Hollow… You know, there are a lot of skill sets that are similar in terms of its beloved IP.
The short story's general premise seems like it will also be at the center of Beer's take on Sleepy Hollow. Where the writer/ director can get creative, however, will be with the details. Burton's Sleepy Hollow, for example, takes a number of liberties with the source material, expanding and elaborating on sections of the book, including more fully exploring the Headless Horseman.
While many questions remain about the new take on Sleepy Hollow, Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, Beer's debut feature, could be an indication as to how she will tackle Irving's story and what her storytelling sensibilities are. It's too early to talk about casting as the upcoming adaptation doesn't even have a release date, but Beer could end up being a significant figure in the horror movie space in the years ahead.
