At this point, Sinners is a frontrunner for movie of the year. The vampire flick came out of nowhere to be a box office smash and a critical darling. Now, one of its stars, Hailee Steinfeld, is trading in vampires for Olympic sports in the upcoming rom-com, Winter Games.
Deadline reports Steinfeld will join Miles Teller in Winter Games, a sports rom-com from co-writer/director Paul Downs Colaizzo that we learned about in April. Patt Cunnane co-wrote the screenplay. The story “revolves around the high-stakes arena of the Winter Olympic Games, a perpetually overlooked skier and a self-sabotaging hockey legend 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.”
So it’s meet-cutes, slaloms, and hockey fights for Steinfeld and Teller. Coming up for her is returning to voice Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. She will also return to voice Kate Bishop/Hawkeye in the Marvel Zombies animated series on Disney+ this October.
