Paul Feig loves a plot twist. Why not reboot 'Die Hard' starring a woman?
There are two things Paul Feig’s fans know to be true: He’s going to put women in the spotlight, and he’s going to do so while wearing an iconic outfit. The legendary filmmaker is responsible for the all-time great comedies Bridesmaids and Spy, among many other twisty fan favorites.
Dressed to the nines for a Zoom call with Yahoo — and who would expect anything less from a man constantly in a three-piece suit — Feig knows how to probe the mysterious corners of suburban life. His film, Another Simple Favor , the sequel to the mom-frenemy drama starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, was released in May. Now, The Housemaid, Feig’s adaptation of the delightfully trashy bestselling novel starring Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney, hits theaters just before Christmas.
