Director Brian De Palma, acclaimed for the 1976 classic "Carrie" and the first "Mission: Impossible" film, has significantly scaled back his output in recent years. His most recent feature, "Domino," was released back in 2019, leading many fans to believe De Palma had quietly retired from filmmaking. However, over a year ago, De Palma unexpectedly announced he would direct another film titled "Sweet Vengeance" and had already begun the casting process. Recent reports now indicate that production is highly likely to commence this year.

Overseas media outlet The Film Stage recently revealed that "Sweet Vengeance" is slated to begin filming this summer in Portugal, with the lead cast expected to be announced soon. De Palma first publicly mentioned the project in 2018, stating the story was inspired by two real-life murder cases. He added that he would attempt to emulate the narrative style of certain true-crime series, a genre he finds particularly intriguing. The Film Stage also reported that the film will feature two of De Palma's signature cinematic sequences, though they did not elaborate on the specific nature of these scenes.
