Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried to star in Lionsgate’s ‘The Housemaid’

Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried are all set to join hands on the big screen for a psychological thriller.

The fellow actresses are set to lead in The Housemaid, a film adaptation of Freida McFadden’s best-selling novel of the same name. 

Directed by Paul Feig, who is known for his work on Bridesmaids and A Simple Favor, the psychological thriller will be brought to life under Lionsgate’s banner.

Sweeney will take on the role of Millie, a young woman eager for a new beginning when she lands a job as a housemaid for a wealthy couple, Nina (Seyfried) and Andrew. However, as the official synopsis hints, “Millie soon learns the family’s secrets are far more dangerous than her own.”

“I’m thrilled to have The Housemaid join our upcoming slate,” Adam Fogelson, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chairman, said in a statement, as per Deadline.

“A great filmmaker and a great cast with a great script from a great book is a terrific place to start. My prior work experiences with Paul and Amanda have been nothing short of spectacular, and Sydney is as talented and compelling as can be.”

Erin Westerman, the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group co-president, also shared his thoughts.

“Part of the fun of the book was imagining the cast while we read it, and Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried are perfect for Millie and Nina — they’re both mysterious, nuanced, and incredibly skilled at becoming characters who don’t reveal everything right away,” he said.

Tilda Swinton on starring with Julianne Moore in ‘The Room Next Door’

Tilda Swinton long awaited to work with Julianne Moore, before starring in their upcoming drama-comedy The Room Next Door.

During the New York Film Festival premiere of The Room Next Door on Friday, Oct. 4, Tilda, 63, shared her long-standing wish to work with her now co-star Julianne Moore, also 63.

The actress reminisced during a post-screening discussion, explaining that writer-director Pedro Almodóvar had emailed her the script for the film, which centers on two close friends as one faces the final stages of her life. 

When he asked Swinton who she wanted to work alongside, she knew exactly who to suggest.

“There was one face, one name,” Swinton said, talking about Moore.

“I was trepidatious because I thought, ‘What if he has another name or a list of names?’ And I had the nerve to type out a name, press send. And his email crossed with mine and ding…”

Almodóvar, who also attended the premiere with Moore alongside John Turturro, chimed in and said about the past interaction, “It was the best idea.”

Swinton again continued, “It was unimaginable. It could not have been anybody else.”

She seemed to find similar grounds with the characters’ story in the movie, relating it to her own relationship with Moore, saying that the movie revolves around a “beautiful” tale of “friends from a long time ago who haven’t seen each other for a couple of decades who are exactly the same age.”

The actress said, “Julianne and I are pretty much the same age but we’ve only met a couple of times, very much in passing in the corridors of film festivals.” She suggested that, during those interactions, she had “a good hunch that we would likely want to be around each other.”

“I had a slight fantasy of working together once, but how could we imagine this?” she added. “We came together, not as old friends [but] we made up for lost time, I would say. Pedro [Almodóvar] said we never stop talking, it’s true.”
