Ana de Armas (Knives Out, Ballerina) is set to star in Sweat, an English-language remake of Magnus von Horn‘s 2020 Polish film of the same name, Variety reports.
J Blakeson (I Care a Lot, The 5th Wave) will direct the psychological thriller.
De Armas stars as ambitious fitness influencer Emma Kent, who dreams of matching the success of her idol, social media superstar Kat Highbrook.
When an encounter with Kat goes horribly wrong, Emma’s carefully curated world begins to collapse. She is forced into a dangerous arrangement with Trent, an obsessive fan, whose unhinged devotion pushes Emma to choose how far she’s willing to go for fame.
Stuart Ford’s AGC Studios will finance and co-produce alongside Guy Stodel through his Rosto Inc. and Blakeson via his Crimple Beck shingle.
The film will be distributed internationally by AGC International, with WME Independent, CAA Media Finance and AGC co-repping US rights.
Sweat is set to begin production on March 30 in Los Angeles and the UK. Additional casting is underway.
