Paul Feig has landed his next directorial gig, and he’s teaming with Blumhouse for Worst Roommate Ever. The Hollywood Reporter confirms it will be a big-screen adaptation of the Netflix unscripted series of the same name.
Worst Roommate Ever follows a newly single woman finding a seemingly perfect gentleman to sublet the spare room in her dream home, only to learn his deceit goes beyond a phony name and application. She has unwittingly invited a serial squatter into her home, and he won’t leave without a fight.
“Jason and I have been trying to find the perfect project to collaborate on for years, and this story is tailor-made to deliver the scares, thrills, emotion, and comedy of dread that both he and I like to entertain audiences with,” Feig said. “In other words, I couldn’t be happier to have Jason as the best roommate ever for this film.”
“Paul is the perfect director for this because his work always manages to strike a balance between the dark and the light, and I’m very excited to see everything he will bring to this story,” Blumhouse CEO and founder Blum said in a statement.
There are no actors attached to the project at the time of reporting.
