Paul Feig is set to direct a narrative feature for Blumhouse based on the same New York Magazine article by William Brennan that inspired the unscripted Netflix series “Worst Roommate Ever.” Blumhouse EVP Production and Development Bea Sequeira brought in the original article, and the film marks the first time Blumhouse has produced a movie and TV show based on the same source material.
Feig will produce with his producing partner Laura Fischer. Also producing are Jason Blum, Chris Morgan and Vox Media’s Scoop Wasserstein. Executive producing are Chris Morgan Productions’ Ainsley Morgan, William Brennan and Blumhouse’s Bea Sequeira, and VP, Creative Development and Production Shaun S.
