Sydney Sweeney Headlines ‘Reality’, Coming to HBO on May 29
Sydney Sweeney as Reality Winner in HBO’s Reality.
HBO has revealed the first teaser for the upcoming film Reality, starring Sydney Sweeney as Reality Winner, and announced it will premiere on the network on May 29, at 10pm ET, being available to stream on Max at that time as well.
The film, which HBO acquired after a buzzy debut at the Berlin Film Festival, follows Sweeney as convicted classified-document-leaker Reality Winner, who divulged documents that showed proof of Russian interference in the 2016 US election to the news website The Intercept. She was given a five-year-and-three-month sentence back in 2018.
The film hails from director Tina Satter and is based on her 2019 play Is This A Room; Satter co-wrote it with James Paul Dallas and executive produces along with Ellyn Daniels, Will O’Connor, Daniel Ginsberg, Andrew Beck, Bill Way, Elliott Whitton, Eva Maria Daniells, Philipp Engelhorn, and Caitlin Gold. The cast includes Sydney Sweeney, Josh Hamilton, and Marchánt Davis. Here is the official logline:
“On June 3, 2017, 25-year-old former American intelligence specialist Reality Winner is confronted by FBI agents arriving at her home to question her suspected role in the mishandling of classified information. Based on true events, the film’s dialogue is directly from the transcript of their tense and transfixing conversation.”

Reality will air on HBO on May 29 at 10pm ET, in time for the network to push an Emmy campaign for the film and Sweeney.
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as authors like Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
