Sydney Sweeney is captivating audiences with her exceptional talent and is set to grace the screens in several highly anticipated projects this year. One of those projects is her upcoming biopic of NSA whistleblower Reality Winner, which is named Reality after her. The actress was recently at the Museum of Modern Art in New York for its premiere.

She donned a gorgeous black dress with alternate patterns of frill and net and a gorgeous velvet train. However, she did not just rock her look at the premiere, but also revealed some surprising anecdotes about it.

Sydney Sweeney found the script of Reality shocking

Reality delves into the true story of Reality Winner, a political figure who faced severe legal consequences in 2018. This happened after she leaked classified documents revealing Russian interference in the 2016 election. Sweeney takes on a gripping role in the biopic drama film, where she portrays the courageous Miss Winner during her interrogation by the FBI.

The 25-year-old told ET, “I’ve never seen a script that was taken directly from a transcript of a real moment of someone’s life.” This was the reason why she felt that her role was totally different from what she had played until now.

Sweeney faced several challenges while bringing Reality Winner to the screen, but the biggest one was sticking to the script. She revealed that she often gets the freedom to improvise on her projects, but in this case, it seemed impossible. The reason behind it was that it is a story based on the actual FBI transcript, and Sweeney wanted to honor Winner by sticking to the script and portraying her in the truest sense.

Apparently, it is harder to portray a real-life person on screen than a fictional character, as people have a lot to compare when it comes to reality. However, Sweeney is not the only person who has worked hard to bring Reality Winner onto screens.

Sweeney reveals that director Tina Satter constantly kept in touch with Reality’s family

Satter, who also wrote the play on the same topic (Is This a Room), brought Winner’s story to the screen. For that, she constantly kept in touch with Reality Winner and her parents and sister so that she could be as realistic as possible. Additionally, the director also arranged a meeting for Sweeney so that she could meet Winner. The 25-year-old revealed that Reality Winner’s amazing sense of humor surprised her.

The film is releasing on May 29, and fans are already excited about it. What are your thoughts about Sweeney’s challenges in portraying Reality Winner? Tell us in the comments.
