“And I know she was going through some things when this was going on—I mean, now everybody knows about her engagement falling apart and breaking off and all that,” the filmmaker explained of Sweeney.
Feig recalled: “I’d say, ‘Hey, are you OK?’ and she’d go, ‘I’m fine, I’m great!’ but not defensively.”
“The Housemaid,” based on Freida McFadden’s 2022 psychological thriller novel, stars Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, Brandon Sklenar and Michele Morrone. It was shot in New Jersey from January to March and comes out on Christmas.
