'The Housemaid' Trailer: A Brand New Look At Sydney Sweeney & Amanda Seyfried's "Freaky" Thriller

Will The Housemaid be made into a movie?

Yes, The Housemaid is being made into a movie that you'll be able to watch in theaters this winter!

Author Freida McFadden has already seen the movie — and she can't get enough. "I was lucky enough to watch a sneak preview of The Housemaid movie, and I absolutely loved it," she said. "The second it was over, I turned to my husband in the theater and said, 'OMG, I think it was better than the book!' They captured everything that readers love about the novel! The performances by all the actors were nothing short of incredible."

Better than the book! That really has me excited for this book adaptation. And turns out, the movie might have even gotten Freida's gears turning. "It (almost) made me want to write another Housemaid book. (Almost!)," she continued. "The only problem is I don't know how I'm going to be able to wait until December to watch it again!"

What is the book Housemaid about?

Nina (Amanda Seyfried) hires Millie (Sydney Sweeney) as her family's housemaid, and moves her into their gorgeous mansion. But while Millie's work ethic impresses Nina, she seems to attract unexpected attention from Nina's husband Andrew (Brandon Sklenar). It looks like we'll see some blood, a lot of fighting, and that Millie might be keeping just as many secrets as her new employers.

"Everyone's going to freak out by Amanda's performance," Sydney told MTV during CinemaCon. "You don't know what to expect. And I don't even think we knew what to expect from a lot of those scenes."
