Oscar winner Ron Howard headed up for production at the end of November 2023 on Eden, formerly known as Origin Of Species. The movie will narrate the real-life journey of a group that ditches societal norms and sets off for the Galápagos Islands in search of life's deeper meaning. However, as luck would have it, things take a turn for the worse. This movie is whispered to be Howard's labor of love, a vision he has nurtured since he made a trip to the Galápagos Islands for the first time. And as reported by Collider, the movie has wrapped up filming in Australia, taking a step ahead in its production.

Standing alongside Howard in this anticipated thriller was a star-studded cast led by Ana de Armas and Jude Law, alongside Alicia Vikander, Daniel Brühl, and Daisy Edgar-Jones. While Vikander and Edgar-Jones eventually bowed out of the movie, Vanessa Kirby and the Euphoria darling, Sydney Sweeney, were quick to step up before production began. This not only secured Sweeney another thrilling opportunity, but also allowed her to embrace one of her natural features.

Sydney Sweeney bid adieu to her Euphoria character's trademark blonde hair while filming Ron Howard's latest movie. Last year, the actress stunned fans with her brunette locks on the set of Eden in Australia. Despite the drastic change, Sweeney looked as euphoric as ever as she filmed alongside Daniel Brühl and their newest co-star, a charming donkey. While her new appearance caught many off guard, it turns out Sweeney has been a brunette for most of her life.

The choice to dye her hair blonde was driven by the demands of her profession, Sydney Sweeney revealed to Yahoo! Life. Sweeney first experimented with highlights for her role in Everything Sucks, but fully went blonde for Euphoria. Nevertheless, she could not help but acknowledge that returning to her natural hair color for Eden allowed her to reconnect with herself, even if only temporarily.
