Sydney Sweeney’s Darkly Comedic Answer to ‘The Gilded Age’ Gets 1 Step Closer to Box Office Victory

Fresh off the box office success of The Housemaid, Sydney Sweeney is set to star in another big-screen literary adaptation. However, this time, she’s not adapting a contemporary best-seller, but an American literary classic. She’ll star in The Custom of the Country, a new adaptation of the 1913 novel by Edith Wharton, whose Gilded Age milieu is having a moment in the cultural zeitgeist. And now, we know who’ll be co-starring with her.

According to reports, Leo Woodall, who recently appeared in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy and Nuremberg, will star with Sweeney in the film; he can be seen this spring in Netflix‘s adaptation of Vladimir, with Rachel Weisz.
