Sydney Sweeney and Ana de Armas are starring in a new film based on a wild true story with a 'crazy threesome relationship.'

Helmed by The Da Vinci Code director Ron Howard, the film is a 2024 survival thriller film starring de Armas, Sweeney, Vanessa Kirby, Jude Law, Daniel Brühl, Felix Kammerer, Toby Wallace, and Richard Roxburgh.

Set in the Galápagos Islands in the 1930s, it is based on the true story of a group of European settlers who inhabited Floreana island, a southern island in the Galápagos Archipelago.

The film, called Eden, follows couple Dr Friedrich Ritter (Law) and his wife Dora (Kirby) who live on the island in total isolation, before the arrival of a few unexpected guests turns their once quaint life upside down and results in a wild power struggle over control of the island.

In Eden, de Armas assumes the role of The Baroness, a self-proclaimed heiress who has a three-way relationship with two infatuated lovers played by Kammerer and Wallace.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, de Armas opened up on the 'out there' role describing the challenge of filming some scenes and the realities of playing a 'crazy threesome relationship'.

Talking about her eagerness to accept the role, de Armas said: "I got a little scared, and I told [Ron] I was nervous because it was really out there.

"He was very supportive and excited. There was no question I wanted to do it. I wanted the challenge."

"Having this crazy threesome relationship, and being a woman of opposites — either she's sweet and tender and fragile and nervous and scared, or she's absolutely crazy and dangerous," she added.

"It was kind of finding that limit: What was the craziest I could get? How far could I go?"

"I'm so impressed with her creative courage," Howard said of de Armas' journey in the film. "She's a risk-taker as an artist."

"And I knew that it was going to take that kind of individual." he added.

The Knives Out star also opened up on how Eden posed the 'scariest' scene she's ever had to film, where her character hosts a dinner party that goes horribly awry.

"That scene was the scariest thing I've ever done," she shared. "It was kind of like a chess game. We spent three days shooting that."

Meanwhile, Sweeney had her own fair share of difficult scenes to film, with Vanity Fair revealing that her character gives birth in a remote cave while surrounded by wild dogs.

"She got it," Howard said of Sweeney's performance. "It was raw and she was all in, just like her character had to have been at that moment."

Eden had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) where it was met with mixed reviews by critics.

A global release date for the film has still not been set.
