Quentin Tarantino is well-known for his tight ship on sets. On the set of the esteemed filmmaker, the cell phones are strictly off-limits as he lives and breathes the movie-making world. During Sydney Sweeney's recent appearance on Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast, she did not hold back about how intense the experience was, saying, "That was crazy". Horowitz also asked about Sweeney's interactions with industry giants like Brad Pitt and whether she felt anxious during those moments.

Sweeney confirmed that there were actually "no nerves" when she was on set. The Immaculate actress expressed her feelings, saying that when she was little, she had no idea any of this came along with acting. The 26-year-old had "zero clue" that she would live the life she is living now. To her, the dream was only "being on set and playing all these characters". Therefore, she was not really anxious during the whole experience.

In response, Sweeney nodded, suggesting that she is a part of the project (still), and also discussed some aspects that made her fall in love with the titular character. She shared how Barbarella “embraces her sexuality and femininitywhich will be a fresh twist in the sci-fi genre. Horowitz also brought up the possibility of Edgar Wright sliding into the director's seat. 

The actress, however, did not reveal anything about that. The remake of the 1968 film currently does not have much information, except for the fact that it will bring some iconic fashion statements. Though the movie in the 60s was not a hit, it gained a cult following later on, motivating Sweeney to both star in and produce it as well. From a brief appearance in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to producing her films, it is safe to say that Sweeney has come a long way.
