Sydney Sweeney has been booked and busy as of late and, with that, the extremely sought-after actress has a number of key titles on the 2025 film schedule. A type of motion pictures is the book-to-film adaptation of The Housemaid, which is predicated on Freida McFadden’s 2022 novel of the identical title. Sweeney and her co-stars together with director Paul Feig have been teasing the movie, and the first-look images are lastly right here. The stills present Sweeney wanting uncharacteristically unglamorous, whereas Seyfried sports activities a devilish smile.
The primary official stills from The Housemaid come by means of Individuals and, whereas they’re simply photographs, they do present eager teases of a number of the main gamers within the movie. Sydney Sweeney’s character, Millie Calloway, is current and accounted for, and he or she’s not all dolled up like a few of Sweeney’s different characters. In the meantime, Amanda Seyfried performs Millie’s employer, Nina Winchester and, based mostly on the stills by which she seems, I already don’t belief her. Try the 2 actresses and their co-stars within the Instagram put up under:
Different actors seen in these preliminary images are Brandon Sklenar, who performs Nina’s husband, and Michele Morrone, who performs groundskeeper Enzo. Morrone beforehand described his character as a “weirdo,” and that picture doesn’t do him any favors. Nevertheless, as somebody who hasn’t learn the ebook, I’m extra inclined to belief Enzo than Nina at this level. That smirk simply appears so sinister, and the nonetheless that reveals her confronting Millie within the toilet is a bit creepy. All of that apart although, these photographs are an effective way to get followers pumped.
Not seen in these images, although, is Elizabeth Perkins, who portrays Andrew’s stringent mom, Evelyn. Mark Grossman, who portrays Millie’s first boyfriend, Scott Crawford, can be not current. After all, these images are simply teases, so it’s comprehensible as to why not all the forged can be proven. Perhaps Perkins and Grossman will seem within the first official trailer, every time that’s launched.
Within the meantime, what’s recognized about The Housemaid is that it facilities on Millie, who takes a job as a live-in maid with the Winchesters as a method of restarting her life. The dynamic between the trio begins off effectively sufficient, although the scenario takes a darkish flip and secrets and techniques are revealed. Whereas screenwriter Rebecca Sonnenshine tells Those who this can be a “devoted interpretation” of the ebook, she additionally says viewers ought to anticipate surprises. Paul Feig beforehand mentioned viewers will clutch their pearls over what they’ll see within the movie.
Manufacturing on The Housemaid started in early 2025, with the forged and crew sharing a humorous video. The celebrities have since expressed enthusiasm in regards to the manufacturing when requested about it. All of the whereas, Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney have been palling round and appear to have solid a agency bond off digicam. Seyfried just lately mentioned watching the movie with Sweeney, and he or she appears very pleased with the way it turned out.
As beforehand talked about, the subsequent logical piece of promotion for Paul Feig’s newest movie can be a trailer. Hopefully, that footage will successfully convey the uneasy vibes conveyed by these first-look images. I look ahead to seeing what’s in retailer (and I’ll absolutely be maintaining a tally of Amanda Seyfried’s Nina).
The Housemaid opens in theaters on December 19, 2025.
