It’s a huge day for those who love thrillers! As we’re getting closer to the end of the year, I’m already making my list of films I can’t wait to see in 2025 that star my favorite actors. On Oct. 8, an upcoming movie starring Gen Z icon Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfriend was announced and I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see her grace the silver screen yet again! Sweeney’s been busy this year with her production company and acting, and we’re excited that she’s returning to the psychological horror scene with her next project: The Housemaid.
“I’m thrilled to have ‘The Housemaid’ join our upcoming slate,” Adam Fogelson, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair, said in a statement obtained by Variety. “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.”
Sweeney also shared this exciting news on Instagram while reading The Housemaid book by Frieda McFadden. Sweeney’s announcement also confirmed that she would be playing the lead role of Millie in the film. She’ll also be executive producing the film for Lionsgate, according to Deadline.
