Los Angeles, October 25 – Brandon Sklenar is set to star alongside Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried in the upcoming psychological thriller "The Housemaid," directed by Paul Feig.
Sklenar, who recently appeared with Blake Lively in the box office hit "It Ends With Us," will portray Andrew, a wealthy husband. Sweeney will play Millie, a young woman who becomes a housemaid for Andrew and his wife, Nina (Seyfried). Millie seeks a fresh start but soon discovers dangerous secrets about the couple's past.
The film is adapted from the bestselling novel by Freida McFadden, which has sold over 3.6 million copies. The screenplay was written by Rebecca Sonnenshine.
