Ana de Armas is set to star in Sweat, an English-language remake of Magnus von Horn's 2020 Polish film.

De Armas will play Emma Kent, a fitness influencer who dreams of becoming a social media star like her idol, Kat Highbrook. But when an encounter with Kat goes horribly wrong, Emma is forced into a dangerous arrangement with Trent, an obsessive fan, whose unhinged devotion pushes Emma to choose how far she’s willing to go for fame.

De Armas received Academy Award, SAG, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in Andrew Dominik’s "Blonde", which premiered in competition at the 2022 Venice Film Festival. She first gained global recognition with Rian Johnson’s "Knives Out", earning her a Golden Globe nomination, and has since starred in major projects including "No Time to Die", "Blade Runner 2049", "The Gray Man", "Ghosted" and "Ballerina".

UK director, screenwriter, and producer J Blakeson will direct.

Guy Stodel is producing under the Rosto Inc. banner, alongside Blakeson via his Crimple Beck production company, and AGC Chairman and CEO Ford.

The picture will begin production on March 30, 2026, in Los Angeles and the UK and will be distributed internationally by AGC International with WME Independent, CAA Media Finance, and AGC co-repping US rights.
