Sydney Sweeney accidentally got fake blood in her eyes while filming one of the most gruesome scenes. “We wanted to do everything practically,” Mohan told Indiwire, revealing that the incident took place on the final day on set.“The biggest challenge was on the last take,” the director told the outlet.
“Sydney got blood, fake blood, in her eye, and it was stinging her, but we hadn’t nailed the take, and she was actually in quite a lot of pain.” “But she’s my boss, and she was like, ‘Keep shooting, Mike. Keep shooting until you f–king get this,’” he continued.
“We didn’t reset or anything. We kept the camera rolling, and I think it was the third take where we finally got the perfect take […] but the pain in her voice was because she’d gotten fake blood in her eye.”In the film — which premiered at SXSW film festival and is set to hit theaters on Friday — Sweeney, 26, plays Sister Cecilia.
She joins a Roman convent but is ultimately tested when it is revealed that she has been chosen to become the vessel for the next immaculate conception against her will. According to Mohan, shooting the scene with fake blood — which is typically concocted from corn syrup, red food coloring and sometimes cocoa powder — was the “hardest” part of the film for both the “Euphoria” star and the director.
“But it was harder for her than it was for me,” he added.Sweeney and Mohan previously worked together on Amazon Prime’s 2021 erotic thriller “The Voyeurs.”“She can go to these really unhinged places, and so to be able to combine all the things she’s so strong [with], she’s just so versatile,” gushed Mohan over the “Anyone But You” star’s performance. “It was so great to have a character arc that really shows the full breadth of her acting

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.

Sydney Sweeney and the stars of Immaculate are celebrating the premiere at Beyond Fest!
Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino are celebrating the premiere of their new movie Immaculate at South by Southwest Conference Festival.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Sydney Sweeney just premiered her latest movie, “Immaculate,” at SXSW, and it marks her third high profile release in four months. She conquered the box office opposite Glen Powell in the hit romantic comedy “Anyone But You” (which has earned more than $200 million worldwide), and then she experienced her first studio flop with the Sony comic book tentpole “Madame Web.” Not that Sweeney is too concerned. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, the actor was unfazed when asked about “Madame Web” being widely mocked.
Stephen Saito Ever since resurrecting the erotic thriller with the respectably lurid 2021 drama “The Voyeurs,” it was clear Sydney Sweeney and director Michael Mohan were interested in second comings. So it was only a matter of time before they’d turn their attention to Christ himself in “Immaculate,” an enjoyable if uneven horror film cut from a slightly different cloth than its religious brethren with a captivating turn from its star as a virginal nun whose pregnancy inspires questions beyond the health of the child, and a hell of an ending.
In the realm of religious horror, one filled with tales of divine terror, Immaculate emerges as the latest contender. Yet despite its promising setup within the shadowy confines of an Italian nunnery and a cast led by Sydney Sweeney, Álvaro Morte, Benedetta Porcaroli and Simona Tabasco, the film struggles to carve out a niche for itself. Directed by Michael Mohan and written by Andrew Lobel, the movie treads familiar ground, recycling familiar elements without delivering the novel twists, deeper insights or genuine horror in a genre that thrives on the exploration of faith’s darker dimensions.
Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Fresh off her recent stint hosting “Saturday Night Live,” Sydney Sweeney made her way to Austin and SXSW for the world premiere of her new religious horror film “Immaculate” — and on Tuesday night, she had the crowd screaming (and laughing at their own reactions) at the Paramount Theatre. The jump scares, in particular, had the entire theater jumping — and then giggling at their own fear. “Immaculate” leans into horror but also has plenty of moments of dark humor.
