Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell’s Anyone But You was highly anticipated leading up to its release. In addition to the film’s trailer featuring a sizzling chemistry between the two, the promotions for the film also were an exciting affair for fans who witnessed the actors having a lot of funny and cozy banter. They used the dating rumors to their advantage which worked in the film’s favor.

It seems JLo employed a similar trick (according to Guzman’s ex-girlfriend) to promote the film by concocting a promotional campaign for the film where she and Guzman were made to feel like a couple wherever they went.

The religious horror movie Immaculate, starring Sydney Sweeney and directed by Michael Mohan, wears its horror influences on its sleeves. Neon’s new horror movie is now available on Digital and PVOD, making it easier to catch up with the buzzy title. If you’ve already seen Immaculate, this companion watch guide highlights horror movies to pair with it.
Sweeney stars in Immaculate as Cecilia, a woman of devout faith who is offered a fulfilling new role at an illustrious Italian convent. Cecilia’s warm welcome to the picture-perfect Italian countryside gets derailed soon enough when she discovers she’s become pregnant and realizes the convent harbors disturbing secrets.
From Will Bates’ gothic score to the filming locations and even shot compositions, Immaculate owes a lot to its cinematic influences. Mohan pulls from more than just religious horror, though. While Immaculate pays tribute to the classics, the horror movie surprises...

Warning: The following contains major spoilers for Immaculate and The First Omen.
Horror has always served as a frightening mirror to reality. In his 1981 treatise on the genre Danse Macabre, author Stephen King writes, “we make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones”; it seems scary movies have been helping us do that since the earliest days of storytelling. Modern examples include The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) now considered a reaction to the 1973 oil crisis, Dawn of the Dead (1978) which stands as a horrific condemnation of consumerism, and the explosion of the torture porn subgenre in the wake of 9/11. As the United States enters a new phase of fear, two films have converged in an exploration of horrific pregnancy caused by religious abuse. As reproduction becomes more dangerous, Michael Mohan’s Immaculate and Arkasha Stevenson’s The First Omen both follow nuns impregnated against their will and...

Keira Knightley & James McAvoy Once Opened Up Their Atonement Love Scene. (Photo Credit – IMDb)
Keira Knightley is one of those actresses who fits perfectly in a period film; her filmography is significant proof of that. She has given outstanding performances in her movies, and the actress selected one of her best intimate scenes on screen. It was with James McAvoy in their film, Atonement. But the X-Men: First Class actor had a different opinion about their passionate lovemaking scene.
The 2007 romance drama was based on Ian McEwan’s novel of the same name. It featured McAvoy and Knightley in lead roles. Saoirse Ronan played an integral part in the movie that was directed by Joe Wright. The film was nominated for multiple Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress for Ronan.

Major spoilers for "Immaculate" and "The First Omen" follow.
There's a history of movies with oddly similar premises premiering within months of each other. "Armageddon" and "Deep Impact" both hit theaters in the summer of 1998, much like the Earth-shattering meteors featured in both films. The year before, there was "Volcano" and "Dante's Peak." 2022 gave us not one but two "Pinocchio" movies (with a clean victory for Guillermo del Toro's version).
This past month saw the latest case of dueling movies: "Immaculate," released on March 22, 2024, and "The First Omen," released on April 5, 2024. Both films are about American nuns who fly off to a new life in Italy. Once they arrive at the convent, the young sister discovers a sinister conspiracy at work and becomes pregnant via an unnatural conception. Unlike Mother Mary, the fruits of their wombs are not blessed.

Sydney Sweeney recently played the character of Julia Cornwall in Sony Pictures’ Madame Web alongside Dakota Johnson. Her other release alongside Glen Powell; Anyone but You did slightly better than the former despite opening to mixed responses. Sweeney and Powell’s chemistry was highly appreciated by the audience and has been the talk of the industry ever since they started filming.
Sweeney has also showcased her exceptional work while portraying Cassie Howard on HBO’s Euphoria and appearing in the first season of the critically acclaimed anthology series The White Lotus. She earned Primetime Emmy Award nominations for her work on both series. The actress is now gearing up for the release of her psychological horror movie Immaculate in which she not only stars but also serves as the producer. In a recent interview, Sweeney talked about the actress she would like to work with next.

After working together on the one-season Netflix series Everything Sucks! and Prime Video erotic-thriller The Voyeurs, Immaculate sees the reunion of director Michael Mohan and producer/star Sydney Sweeney for a project that is being released into cinemas. Arriving at a remote Italian convent, the devout Sister Cecilia (Sweeney) intends to fulfil a new role tending to dying nuns. As the virginal sister discovers that she is pregnant, it becomes clear that dark secrets are being kept at this gorgeous countryside location.
It is well documented that, after auditioning for this role in 2014, Sweeney used her star power to revive this project and keep the throughline which initially attracted her, even while revising the script. Thank goodness that the Anyone But You star...

Convent-set movies occupy a storied place in cinema history—one too vast to attempt summarization in this review. But it’s no matter: Immaculate stands to be a minor entry in both the crowded genre and in Sydney Sweeney’s present ascension to movie stardom. Sweeney produces and recruited Michael Mohan to direct Immaculate after their previous collaborations on TV series Everything Sucks! and erotic-thriller throwback The Voyeurs.
Narratively, Immaculate owes more to Dario Argento’s Suspiria than any nunsploitation picture. The setups are essentially identical: wide-eyed American girl (Sweeney as Sister Cecilia in this case) heads to an all-girls dormitory in Italy. Nefarious plotting by shadowy leaders is unveiled over the course of the narrative.
Both films contain a cold open that sees a young girl attempt escape before meeting her doom. Immaculate’s opening is quite tense, its best sequence. In the aftermath of this chilling intro, the...

Sydney Sweeney’s presence in any film is hard to ignore. With her distinctive millennial drawl and unmistakable presence, she often brings a piece of herself into the characters she portrays. Whether being real life whistle-blower in the impressive Reality, to playing Glen Powell’s love interest in Anyone But You, Sweeney is fast becoming the Julia Roberts of her era, which is why it is so exciting to see her taking risks with her ever growing career with the excellent new horror, Immaculate.
In the film, Sweeney stars as Sister Cecilia, a virginal young nun mysteriously impregnated and imprisoned by a fanatical convent convinced she carries the second coming of Christ. Directed by Michael Mohan, this film takes audiences on a wild ride through themes of religious oppression, superstition and feminine autonomy,
From the outset, it’s clear that Sweeney’s star power adds a layer of complexity to the character of Sister Cecilia.

Sydney Sweeney’s recent foray into the rom-com genre with Glen Powell in ‘Anyone But You’ has solidified her as a versatile powerhouse in Hollywood. The film, produced by her own Fifty-Fifty Films, saw a spectacular rise from a modest opening to over $200 million globally—a testament to the magnetic draw of word-of-mouth. In the chilling narrative of ‘Immaculate’, Sweeney portrays Cecilia, an American nun whose miraculous pregnancy in an Italian convent spirals into a dark confrontation with her faith and autonomy. This role marks a stark contrast from her comedic and dramatic accolades, indicating her refusal to be typecast. Having

To say that modern human society has issues with organized religion is an understatement. Make no mistake: faith is a beautiful and often necessary component of living, if only to help ease the burdens that are foisted upon every one of us on a daily basis. There can be such great comfort in believing that there's a divine presence in the universe, whether it's something that makes everything happen for an unfathomable reason or whether it's something that is perhaps testing us, putting all of us through our moral paces before we perhaps receive peace in the afterlife.
However, there's no denying that these beautiful and healthy aspects of religion have been woefully corrupted by eons of human weakness, frailty, bigotry, misogyny, and much else. As many people these days rightfully point out, a number of the current tenets of American Catholicism and...

In every generation, there is a scream queen–an actress known for starring in horror films who comes to embody the genre landscape of her time. From Janet Leigh and her daughter Jamie Lee Curtis, Sarah Michelle Gellar to Maika Monroe, these women often originate a beloved character or star in a variety of cutting edge films, pushing the boundaries as cinema evolves.
The jury’s still out on which Gen Z actress will ascend to the scream queen throne, but Sydney Sweeney is making a strong case for her legacy. Though not exclusively known for horror, this versatile actress specializes in creating fearsome characters that break the mold set by her predecessors. With her wide eyes and angelic smile, Sweeney has a knack for luring us in with the perception of innocence only to shock us with a cutting remark or withering glare.

Sydney Sweeney is one of the most popular young actresses of our time, and it is no surprise that her career is currently on a great run. The young star made a name for herself in HBO’s hit series Euphoria, where she managed to become a breakthrough name despite Zendaya being the series lead. Now, Sweeney has several upcoming projects, with Immaculate, a psychological horror where she plays a young nun named Cecilia, being released tomorrow. She also produced the movie.
While promoting the upcoming movie, Sydney Sweeney has been busy doing interviews and in one of her recent talks – the one with Entertainment Tonight‘s Danny Director – Sweeney discussed some of her colleagues, including Hollywood veteran Tom Cruise and one of the greatest stars of today, Margot Robbie. Here is what she had to say:

Plot: A young nun (Sydney Sweeney) accepts a position at a secluded convent in Italy. While there, she mysteriously becomes pregnant, despite being a virgin, and soon the convent becomes convinced she’s carrying the resurrection of Christ. However, something much more sinister might be happening.
Review: For most of its running time, Immaculate is a decent throwback to Dario Argento-style Italian horror movies, with it getting a lot of mileage out of its picturesque Italian scenery and cast of old pro actors from the region. It’s a slow-burn and not particularly scary, but it builds up to an incredibly strong final scene, which is good enough that it really makes the entire film worth seeing just for the superb payoff.
Too bad then that the eighty-minute build-up to the dazzling final sequence is such a mixed bag, with it really feeling like the writer, Andrew Lobell, and director,...

One of the recent sensations from the cinema world, Sydney Sweeney is quite unhappy with the not-so-decent comments she gets through the internet. The Internet is a double-edged sword they say after all. Pretty famous for playing the role of Cassie Howard in the 2019 drama series Euphoria, American actress Sydney Sweeney has lately attracted a lot of fame.

Not just Euphoria, Sweeney also did a commendable job in the 2021 drama series, The White Lotus. She was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards for playing the role of Olivia Mossbacher in The White Lotus. However, despite her professional success, she opens up about how unprofessional her DMs look and how she is frightened by such activities.

The Euphoria breakout goes all-in with a fun, nasty slab of nunsploitation that also acts as commentary on female bodily autonomy
Some movie stars disappear behind their roles. Not Sydney Sweeney. The Euphoria and Anyone But You actor is the kind of familiar presence whose pop cultural imprint is so large that it threatens to trample over her characters. It doesn’t help that Sweeney rarely if ever switches up her distinct millennial drawl or the endearingly self-conscious way she carries herself, which practically breaks the illusion and invites the conflation between her own public persona and the people she plays.
For some movies, that could be detrimental. But Immaculate, a fun and nasty little throwback to Rosemary’s Baby and giallo films like Suspiria, is all the better for it. Sweeney, who somehow avoided a scream queen role for so long, plays dress-up as a virginal young nun. Her...

"Immaculate" isn't.
Michael Mohan's new nunsploitation thriller doesn't possess the artistry or thoughtfulness to be a stirring analysis of Roman Catholic sexism, nor does it have the temerity to be an enjoyably trashy, violent, sex-soaked drive-in flick. To be sure, it possesses elements of both arthouse and grindhouse, but Mohan hasn't mastered either, leaving "Immaculate" in a frustrating middle-ground that will please no one. Some may be temporarily distracted by cinematographer Elisha Christian's clever, classy lighting choices -- there is a late-film chase through pitch-black catacombs that provides some modest thrills -- or by the funereal, liturgical score by Will Bates, but many will surely recognize a B-movie when they see it.
"Immaculate" clearly wants to be, in its heart, fun/violent and ultra-salacious; it features multiple characters who clumsily wield a nine-inch nail that is said to have once affixed Christ's hand to the cross. There...

Sony’s supernatural comedy sequel “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” is aiming to defrost an icy box office. Although “Dune: Part Two” and “Kung Fu Panda 4” have helped to heat up the attendance at multiplexes, overall revenues remain 10% behind 2023.
The latest “Ghostbusters” installment is looking to collect $43 million to $45 million from 4,300 theaters in its domestic box office debut. Those ticket sales would match the start of its franchise predecessor, 2021’s “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” which opened to $44 million as cinemas were just starting to recover from Covid. That film, which successfully revived the paranormal series after 30 years, eventually earned $129.3 million in North America and $204 million worldwide against a $75 million budget. “Frozen Empire” cost $100 million, so it’ll need to outgross the prior movie to justify its price tag. (That’s because cinema operators get to keep roughly 50% of revenues).

It doesn’t take a theologist to see that “Immaculate” director Michael Mohan probably grew up a devout Catholic.
His new horror movie stars Sydney Sweeney as a flung-from-innocence novice nun who arrives at a Roman convent bubbling with religious fealty — only to become the vessel for an immaculate conception gone horrifically wrong. Taking advantage of the film’s on-location shoot, Mohan, who previously directed the “Euphoria” and “Anyone but You” breakout in his erotic thriller “The Voyeurs,” steeps the shocker in religious iconography that veers from the saintly to the satanic.
“I grew up super devout Catholic,” Mohan told IndieWire. And “every Catholic person has guilt and trauma.” That’s for sure, as the Neon release mashes references to Ken Russell’s “The Devils,” Roman Polanski’s “Rosemary’s Baby,” and even Darren Aronofsky’s “mother!” in charting Sister Cecilia’s (Sweeney) psychological undoing in the process of being emblemized...

Sydney Sweeney was determined to "push the boundaries" in 'Immaculate'.The 26-year-old star leads the cast of the new psychological horror movie as Cecilia and had no issues with taking risks in the film's harrowing closing scenes.Sydney told Variety: "I love finding places that I didn't know I could unlock – pushing the boundaries and the limits of what people expect to see from me."I wish that I had a formulaic answer for how I did it. But whenever a director calls 'action', it's just like a switch. And I allow all of Sydney's thoughts and feelings and emotions to disappear. And I am now whatever character I'm playing – I'm Cecilia at the moment."I don't like to rehearse; I don't plan what is going to happen.

Sydney Sweeney’s had a huge 2024 so far — and her most startling act of the year is still ahead.
In the early weeks of the year, her Sony Pictures romantic comedy with Glen Powell, “Anyone But You,” showed remarkable staying power at the box office, eventually building from a tepid early result amid holiday competition to over $200 million at the global box office on the strength of word-of-mouth. Sweeney’s Fifty-Fifty Films shingle produced the film, as well as the upcoming “Immaculate,” which is to be released by Neon on March 22.
In “Immaculate,” Sweeney plays Cecilia, an American nun who arrives at an Italian convent, hoping to find safety and solace. The seeming miracle of her shortly thereafter becoming pregnant — a 21st-century answer to the Virgin Mary — quickly turns sinister, as Cecilia’s body and her faith both rapidly turn against her.

Sweeney’s Fifty-Fifty Films shingle produced the film, as well as the upcoming “Immaculate,” which is to be released by Neon on March 22.
In “Immaculate,” Sweeney plays Cecilia, an American nun who arrives at an Italian convent, hoping to find safety and solace. The seeming miracle of her shortly thereafter becoming pregnant — a 21st-century answer to the Virgin Mary — quickly turns sinister, as Cecilia’s body and her faith both rapidly turn against her.

From eighth billing to bankable leading lady, Immaculate director Michael Mohan has played a key role in Sydney Sweeney’s rise to superstar status.
In 2017, Mohan helped cast Sweeney in the ‘90s coming-of-age series, Everything Sucks!, and while she was only billed eighth in the closing credits, her character played an integral part in the show’s central coming-out story. Mohan was certainly impressed by the Washington native’s acting ability, but it was her extracurricular efforts that indicated she was bound for great things, as she spent her downtime learning the ins and outs of production. Unfortunately, in April 2018, despite a passionate fanbase, Everything Sucks! became one of Netflix’s first of many more heartbreaking cancellations. However, within a matter of months, it opened the door for Sweeney to join the cast of HBO’s eventual hit, Euphoria.

Sydney Sweeney has had a busy few months as she rises to new levels of stardom. After the mammoth success of her romantic comedy with Top Gun: Maverick’s Glenn Powell called Anyone But You, the actress starred in the meme-bank Sony film Madame Web. The actress is now gearing up for the release of her first production, the horror film Immaculate.
Sweeney reportedly first came across the script for the film when she auditioned for it way before her fame. Though the project did not take off, the script of the film reportedly kept spinning her head, and when she got the chance to produce her own film, she decided to contact the screenwriter. While there were some changes from the original script, Sweeney mentioned that her performance in one particular scene in the film was the result of her reaction to a real-life incident.
