The filmmaker, who is in production on his upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/the-housemaid\/\" id=\"auto-tag_the-housemaid_1\" data-tag=\"the-housemaid\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Housemaid<\/a> sequel, is set to direct the horror feature Detention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe film will be Feig\u2019s first horror movie after gaining fame directing comedies such as Bridesmaids and dipping into the thriller genre with A Simple Favor and The Housemaid. While its logline is being kept under wraps, Detention is said to involve now-grown classmates who reconnect and discover a disturbing secret.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tFeig and Laura Fischer will produce via Pretty Dangerous, as will Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller. Steven Schneider, Bea Sequeira and Daniel Gold are executive producers of the project, which hails from Blumhouse Atomic Monster. Fuller shepherded the script and got Feig on board.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tNo studio is attached, but Universal is a prime candidate given its relationship with Blumhouse Atomic Monster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tDetention began life as a spec script from Gold, the screenwriter who has been on a hot streak lately, selling the spec Tough Guys to Amazon MGM Studios for Gosling and Ferrell to star and produce, and landing the plumb assignment of writing <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/ice-cube-kevin-hart-ride-along-3-1236561525\/\">Ride Along 3<\/a>, also for Universal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tNo actors are attached at this phase to Detention, and the hope is for this to be Feig\u2019s next movie after he wraps The Housemaid\u2019s Secret for Lionsgate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tFeig is at a high point thanks to The Housemaid, which punched above its weight class to earn more than $400 million globally on a $35 million budget. The Housemaid\u2019s Secret reteams Feig with star Sydney Sweeney, and has Kirsten Dunst joining the franchise. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tFeig is repped by CAA, Sloane Offer and the Lede Company. Gold is repped by CAA, Underground and Ginsburg Daniels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paul Feig is going back to school.
