Paul Feig<\/strong> struck gold with The Housemaid<\/em><\/strong>, turning the erotic thriller into a box office hit last year, with a sequel already on the way. Now, the filmmaker is set to go even darker, signing on to direct thriller Detention<\/strong><\/em> for Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Platinum Dunes, reports Deadline<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The spec script was written by Daniel Gold<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

We don\u2019t have any plot details at this time. <\/p>\n

That said, the outlet notes that Cameron Fuller<\/strong> brought the script to Feig and is said to be a \u201chorror thriller\u201d. Apparently, that excited Feig, who wanted to try something even darker than The Housemaid<\/em> for his next thriller.<\/p>\n

Heavyweights Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller, Cameron Fuller, Feig, and Laura Fischer are all on as producers. Steven Schneider, Bea Sequeira, and Daniel Gold will executive produce.<\/p>\n

I had a great time with The Housemaid<\/em>, which stars Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried. Is it a brilliant piece of cinema? No, but it\u2019s good fun, with plenty of twists, turns, and over-the-top performances that led to it becoming a massive hit. <\/p>\n

We may not know what Detention<\/em> is about, but we\u2019re talking about two studios between Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Platinum Dunes who have delivered all sorts of horror hits over the past couple of decades. There\u2019s a ton of talent already involved here, and that\u2019s before we even know who will star in the film. <\/p>\n

This might be the first time I\u2019ve ever been excited for detention, a place I spent a lot of time in during high school. Let\u2019s hope Feig\u2019s film turns out to be way more entertaining than that was. <\/p>\n
