After battling vampirism in the box office smash "Sinners", Hailee Steinfeld has found her follow-up project in Paramount’s Olympics film "Winter Games", starring opposite Miles Teller.
Paul Downs Colaizzo is directing the movie from a script he co-wrote alongside Pat Cunnane.
Set in the high-stakes arena of the Winter Olympics, the movie follows a perpetually overlooked skier (Steinfeld) and a self-sabotaging hockey legend (Teller) who collide at their breaking points. Their unexpected connection threatens her chance for a medal and his shot at a comeback as they navigate romance and redemption in the Olympic Village.
Tim and Trevor White are producing on behalf of Star Thrower alongside Teller.
Steinfeld is coming off one of the year’s biggest hits with the Warner Bros horror thriller "Sinners", where she stars opposite Michael B. Jordan.
The pic blew past expectations with $365 million to date at the global box office — which includes an astounding $278 million domestic — making it the top-grossing original movie of the past 15 years and the fifth-highest-grossing horror movie of all time.
Following an almost two-year break, Steinfeld made her much anticipated return to music on the Sinners soundtrack with “Dangerous.”
The song amassed over 4.7 million streams on Spotify in its first month.
The movie also earned rave reviews, putting it, Steinfeld and her co-stars in the mix for consideration this awards season. Following the film’s success, Steinfeld saw a slew of offers come in but, after taking her time, she ultimately landed on "Winter Games" as her follow-up pic.
In 2023, Steinfeld reprised her voice role as Spider-Gwen in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse". The second film in the popular trilogy grossed over $690 million globally and received rave reviews.
The first film, "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2019.
Spider-Gwen will make her return in "Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse" on June 4, 2027.
In 2021, Steinfeld made her Marvel debut as Kate Bishop in Disney+’s "Hawkeye", starring alongside Jeremy Renner.
