An Hour With... Paul Feig
I’m not thrilled that Lionsgate has already dropped The Housemaid onto PVOD, even if I’ll note that A) it got a now (kinda-sorta) standard 47-day window and B) it’s probably going to lose a bunch of screens and get steamrolled by Wuthering Heights the weekend after next anyway. This was recorded right as Lionsgate announced that the Sydney Sweeney/Amanda Seyfried/Brandon Sklenar-led flick had passed $300 million worldwide, partially on the strength of James Cameron-worthy holds in North America and especially overseas. Considering the decades of conventional wisdom arguing that Hollywood movies for women and/or minori...

Paul Feig, "The Housemaid"
On this episode of The Collection, we sit down with Paul Feig to talk about comedy, craft, and a career built on character-first storytelling. From redefining ensemble comedy to balancing heart with humor, Feig reflects on his creative philosophy, the discipline behind directing, and why tone matters as much as punchlines. It’s a conversation about leadership on set, trusting performers, and how great comedy often comes from taking people—and their emotions—seriously.The Collection is hosted by Brad Gilmore.A production of Gilmore Media LLC.© 2025 Gilmore Media LLC.

Paul Feig on the Twists, Tones, and Signature Martinis in The Housemaid
Director Paul Feig talks with Kyle Meredith about adapting The Housemaid from Freda McFadden’s bestseller, shaping its sly tonal shift from “fun unsettling” to full-on psychological thriller, and why he ultimately added entire pieces to the story that aren’t in the book. Feig digs into the dual-POV structure, explains his aversion to lazy voiceover, and breaks down how the film balances an hour of questions with an hour of answers. He also gets into building nuanced female-led stories (from Bridesmaids to Ghostbusters to A Simple Favor), collaborating with a wildly good-looking cast, and letting actors define their characte...

The Parting Shot with H. Alan Scott
Paul Feig’s Genre-Expanding Take on ‘The Housemaid’
Director Paul Feig wants you to support local movie theaters, ideally at his new movie The Housemaid, based on the popular book series by Freida McFadden. “My last three movies have been streamers, and thank God I got to make movies, but I make movies for audiences in a room.” Adapting a popular book into a film is “intimidating,” but Feig is content with McFadden’s approval. “She said she thinks it’s better than the book. That was a huge thing to hear from the author.” The film follows Millie (Sydney Sweeney), a live-in maid for Nina (Amanda Seyfried), who begin...
