She basically thinks the film would end up focusing way too much on sex, and she\u2019s blaming Sweeney for that.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"901\" data-end=\"1048\">\u201cThere\u2019s no way it wouldn\u2019t be a sexual relationship because Sydney Sweeney looks sexy all the time,\u201d she said. \u201cShe was totally wrong to play me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1050\" data-end=\"1055\">Ouch.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1057\" data-end=\"1179\">Novak added that Sweeney \u201csticks out so much above the waist\u201d and repeated: \u201cI would never have approved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1181\" data-end=\"1347\">Meanwhile, Sweeney had previously been nothing but excited about the role, calling it a huge honour and clearly buzzing at the thought of stepping into Novak\u2019s shoes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1349\" data-end=\"1463\">\u201cI\u2019m incredibly honored to be bringing Kim to life. I mean, she is such an amazing actress,\u201d she said last year.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1465\" data-end=\"1688\">She also explained why the story resonated with her, pointing out how relevant Novak\u2019s experiences still are today, especially when it comes to navigating fame, relationships, and having your image constantly picked apart.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_598837\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-598837\" style=\"width: 918px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2334\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-31-at-12.43.00.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"918\" height=\"736\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-598837\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rob Latour\/Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"1690\" data-end=\"1930\">\u201cI think her story is still very relevant today in that she dealt with Hollywood and scrutiny with her relationships and her own private life and the control of her image. And I think that for me, I relate to it in a lot of different ways.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1995\" data-end=\"2164\">\u201cOnce I finish Euphoria, I switch into Scandalous! gear and I\u2019m going to turn my brain into Kim.

I\u2019m going to meet Kim Novak.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2176\" data-end=\"2355\">The film itself centres on Novak\u2019s relationship with Sammy Davis Jr., which at the time was a huge deal, not because of what it was, but because of how the world reacted to it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2357\" data-end=\"2430\">Novak has always pushed back on the idea that it was \u201cscandalous\u201d at all.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2432\" data-end=\"2656\">\u201cI don\u2019t think the relationship was scandalous,\u201d she previously said. \u201cHe\u2019s somebody I really cared about. We had so much in common, including that need to be accepted for who we are and what we do, rather than how we look.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2658\" data-end=\"2880\">Their relationship took place during segregation-era America and ended under intense pressure, including threats from studio boss <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Harry Cohn<\/span><\/span>, who reportedly warned it would be \u201cbad for business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2941\" data-end=\"3112\">Director Domingo has described the film as a \u201cbeautiful, sweet\u201d look at love under scrutiny, adding it\u2019s about \u201ctrying to have privacy, trying to have love, trying to have a life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3114\" data-end=\"3191\">Whether it ever actually gets made now, though\u2026 is another question entirely.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3114\" data-end=\"3191\"><i>For more like this,
