New Trailers for The Housemaid Spotlight Sweeney–Seyfried Thriller Ahead of Dec. 19 Release

Lionsgate positions the twisty adaptation as holiday counter‑programming with author and director backing.

Overview

  • Fresh trailers, including a red‑band cut, emphasize Amanda Seyfried’s volatile Nina, flashes of blood, and Sydney Sweeney’s bruised Millie punctuating the clip with an expletive‑laced line.
  • Paul Feig directs the film from Rebecca Sonnenshine’s screenplay based on Freida McFadden’s bestselling novel, with Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, Brandon Sklenar and Michele Morrone starring.
  • Freida McFadden told fans she saw a sneak preview and “absolutely LOVED it,” even saying the movie may be better than her book.
  • Feig says the movie is a faithful interpretation with added surprises and pitches it as a sexy, edge‑of‑your‑seat ride for the holidays.
  • Lionsgate reaffirms a U.S. theatrical launch on December 19, as multiple outlets note social‑media calls to boycott the film focused on Sweeney following recent box‑office setbacks and controversies.
