If you’re a fan of true-crime and Netflix, you’ve probably gone down the “Worst Roommate Ever” rabbit hole. If so, you will be jazzed by the idea that Jason Blum and Blumhouse are bringing the Netflix series to life on the big screen with the help of Paul Feig.

According to Blumhouse, Paul Feig has been brought on to direct a new film titled “Worst Roommate Ever.” The series is based on the same New York Magazine article by William Brennan that inspired the hit unscripted television series “Worst Roommate Ever.”

The film’s plot begins when “a newly single woman finds a seemingly perfect gentleman to sublet the spare room in her dream home, but she soon learns that his deceit goes beyond a phony name and application, and she has unwittingly invited a serial squatter into her home who 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,” said Feig. “In other words, I couldn’t be happier to have Jason as the best roommate ever for this film” 

Jason Blum added, “‘Worst Roommate Ever’ resonates so much because as the internet has connected so many of us, it also makes it easier than ever to lie about who you are. But then the story is jaw-dropping and keeps you on the edge of your seat. 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.”

There’s no release date set for “Worst Roommate Ever,” but you can watch the show on Netflix now.
