Paul Feig on Directing Sydney Sweeney & Amanda Seyfried in 'The Housemaid'
字幕 (909 セグメント)
You're a lifesaver.
I don't know what I'd do without you,
>> Billy.
>> I need this job.
>> I can't lose it. I I I do not want to go
back. Jacqueline Coley here with Paul
Feige. Sir, welcome to the Awards store
podcast.
>> Jacqueline, thank good to see you again.
>> I know. This is like great. I mean, your
history with Rotten Tomatoes, I love it.
um you wrote the forward for our book.
You have been on like several of our
shows here and always just like I think
a great person um who vibes with it. And
then your latest film I think is another
example of it where like everybody again
is loving both the audiences, the
critics. So you're like the perfect
person for Rotten Tomatoes.
>> I love it. I love Rotten Tomatoes. I
love you guys. Um I know I my proudest
thing in my office is now six Rotten
Tomatoes uh awards for both movies and
TV. So it's really exciting. And we're
here to talk about The Housemaid, which
is now at home where folks can buy that
in the physical copy. They can also get
the digital copy. But this was such, I
think, a phenomenon of a movie because I
read the book. I was all about it and
I'm ready for more of her books. Like
this Freed is such a a prolific author,
but for you, this was a different movie.
Like I feel like it still felt very much
you, but it's like a psychological
thriller. So when did you get involved
in it and and what was sort of the
attraction?
>> Well, I mean, I love doing these kind of
movies. you know, the Simple Favor
movies are in this world and and uh so
when I got sent this from Lionsgate, we
were doing another Simple Favor and it
was going really well and so my my
producing partner Laura Fischer had been
kind of chasing this behind the scenes
and so uh yeah, they they kind of
pitched it to me and they said Sid was
attached and I' I've been dying to work
with Sydney
>> and so I [snorts] was like, "Oh, cool."
So I read it and I read the script
first. I hadn't read the book and was
like, "Wow, I really love the idea of
something that you can fool an audience
for the first half and then really make
them regret it and then have a lot of
fun with it after that." And then when I
read the book, that was really fun
because uh Rebecca Sunenshine, who did
the adaptation of, you know, made the
script, the screenplay, did such a great
job of pairing it down. So then I was
able to go like, "Oh, let's put this
back in. Let's put this back in."
>> Oh, yeah. The pace of it is really
something else. And yeah, don't get me
wrong, you're definitely playing in this
world with a simple favor, but a simple
favor, I still felt all of your comedic
chops all the way throughout. In this
one, I was like, we are on an NBC drama.
Like, this is crazy. I had no idea where
any of it was going. And then by the
time it got to be like
>> what I would say the you comedy of it
all, we were so far across the rails
with it. Um, I'll just talk about it for
you though. Did you feel any of that
when you were sort of doing like the
first half of the film and and Sydney's
in this really intense psychological
film? Did you feel like you were
stretching yourself or did it feel just
as home as you did with comedies?
>> Well, I mean, it's funny. I consider all
my movies to be comedy, so some are
super dark.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> And this one, but but honestly, when I
first read this, I was kind of like,
"Oh, can I find the fun in this?"
Because, you know, it's a story about
abuse. So, there's not a lot of funny
about that obviously, but what I
realized is the first half is, you know,
the first hour is basically what like
kind of a hot boiler kind of love
triangle. Is she crazy? Is she not
crazy? So, I knew like that's a little
more kind of soapy fun you could have
with that by just playing it dead
serious, but just the things are
extreme, you know, and especially with
Amanda, like she's she's up, she's down,
she's crazy, she's yelling, she's your
friend, she hates you, you know? So, I
knew there was fun to be had with that.
And then I also knew the real fun was
going to be making the audience root for
everything they should not be rooting
for in that first hour.
>> Yes, that's exactly right. like what the
twist of this movie, you know, spoiler
alert, it's now in the at home window,
is just they're both victims of this man
and this nefarious force, which you put
Brandonclar, who's very dreamy. Him and
Michelle are both very, very, [laughter]
very dreamy. But to to do the twist with
him, I think that's actually the bigger
impressive feat with this film. And
honestly, the movie, as much as it
hinges on your two ladies, if you don't
get him right, it's over. Talk about how
he got involved in the cast. Well, huge
credit to Brandon who is so talented.
And it really came when we were doing
when we were shooting Another Simple
Favor, Blake Lively kept saying, "I'm
working with this guy, Brandon Skolar.
You got to meet him. He's so great. He's
funny and he's handsome and he's
talented." And so when we were trying to
figure out who's going to play Andrew,
I'd heard that he had read the script
and was interested in it. I was like,
"Oh, that's that guy." You know, and
then I had watched It Ends With Us and
thought he was so good and such a great
positive force. So it's like, "Oo, this
would be kind of great." like nobody's
going to see him coming as a as a
>> bad especially after his other work in
1923 which I also very much enjoyed. He
very much plays a stoic hero in that
way.
>> Yeah. He's just like a tough like movie
star you know and but you know but guys
like that on that trajectory at that
point in their career where they're just
coming up you go like I don't know is he
going to want to play a guy who turns
into like a really awful guy but he came
in like I know exactly I want to do this
and I really want to go for it. You know
he's like you better reinforce those
sets. I'm going to try to break them
down, you know.
>> Yeah. Oh my god. It's a very physical
role for everybody, I think, that's on
that set.
>> Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
>> I do want to talk about the two ladies
of it. Listen, I saw a lot of the
interviews that you did leading up to
us. You've been so affusive about what
Amanda and Sydney did. What I'd actually
like you to tell me about is what was
the most surprising take that you got
from both of them if it made it into the
film? something that you didn't expect
for them to do, but you're at the
monitor being like, "Oh,
>> well, oh, I mean, I mean, every day it
was honestly surprising." But I think
with Amanda, it was just when right
before um well, right when she's getting
thrown out of the house right in the
middle,
>> you know, I said, you know, just I want
