Amanda Seyfried Opened Up About Watching The Housemaid With Co-Star Sydney Sweeney, And I Wish I Could’ve Been A Fly On The Wall

by

Amanda Seyfried’s anticipated book-to-screen adaptation of “The Housemaid” promises an engaging experience. The film is derived from Frieda McFadden’s suspenseful novel, revolving around a young woman who chooses to work as a live-in maid for a skeptical, affluent family. Director Paul Feig hinted that the movie will be one worth holding your breath over, and that piqued my interest immediately. Recently, Seyfried mentioned attending a screening of her film with co-star Sydney Sweeney, and I can’t help but wish I could have joined this private viewing.

After finishing Freida McFadden’s popular novel, I found myself eagerly flipping through the pages to uncover the genuine motives of the enigmatic Winchesters. Given this, I anticipated that the 2025 film adaptation would keep me on tenterhooks. However, Amanda Seyfried’s candid response about the movie to Variety took me aback, and I found myself wishing I could have been a secret observer at the watch party she hosted with Sydney Sweeney.

It turns out that my upcoming film, titled “The Housemaid,” is set to premiere on Christmas Day. This exciting blockbuster features Sydney Sweeney and Ann Lee. To be honest, describing The Housemaid is quite challenging, but let me tell you, after watching it the other night, I haven’t laughed that hard in a theater in a long time – and it was my very own movie!

Enjoying a good chuckle! Oh, wouldn’t it be fantastic if I could have joined in on the watch party of those two talented actors. Given that many stars dislike watching their own performances, it’s evident Seyfried relished witnessing the unusual plot twists and Paul Feig’s creative vision unfold on the silver screen. With The Housemaid reuniting her with Sweeney, who better to share this experience with than a fresh companion who has walked the same movie-making journey?

When I was engrossed in Freida McFadden’s novel, it wasn’t a book that made me laugh as I turned the pages. Instead, my jaw dropped and my eyes widened. This could imply that the film adaptation of The Housemaid might possess a kitschy charm that adds to the enjoyment of many suspenseful movies. Much like Sam Raimi’s horror movie Drag Me to Hell, which was marketed as terrifying but ended up being more entertaining due to its comedic elements.

It’s common knowledge that the forthcoming thriller includes a peculiar character named Enzo, who happens to be the Winchesters’ enigmatic gardener. However, it seems that Amanda Seyfried hinted that her character may not deviate significantly from her unstable nature too:

As a fan myself, I must admit, embodying this zany, eccentric character was an absolute blast during production! It’s a role I haven’t had the chance to showcase before, and the movie feels like one big celebration. In fact, I can’t wait until after Christmas dinner – I might just sneak out for a late-night showing!

It’s evident that the Emmy winner found her film so enjoyable that she’s eager for another viewing! This piques my interest even further, and I’m definitely going to check out “The Housemaid” if the viewing experience is as lively as a celebration. Previously, I thought “The Dropout ” was groundbreaking for Amanda Seyfried, but seeing her in a wild, unpredictable role makes me want to add her new movie to my list. After all, who doesn’t enjoy a good get-together?

Overhearing the actors from “The Maid” reacting to their film makes me wish I could secretly observe their reactions too. It seems the upcoming Lionsgate production promises not only chills but laughter and excitement that would be perfect for sharing with friends. On Christmas Day, you have an opportunity to join Carey Seyfried’s cinematic celebration at a theater near you!
