There are authors whose books are so addictive that when you start one, you can’t stop until you read them all. If you haven’t read Freida McFadden’s books, let us tell you that she’s one whose books are absolutely addictive.
McFadden’s books are thrillers, and it’s not a surprise to us that The Tenant has been picked up for adaptation. Amazon MGM Studios, and Scott Stuber have secured the rights.
The Tenant is about “Blake Porter is riding high, until he’s not. Fired abruptly from his job as a VP of marketing and unable to make the mortgage payments on the new brownstone that he shares with his fiancée, he’s desperate to make ends meet.
Enter Whitney. Beautiful, charming, down-to-earth, and looking for a room to rent. She’s exactly what Blake’s looking for. Or is she?
Because something isn’t quite right. The neighbors start treating Blake differently. The smell of decay permeates his home, no matter how hard he scrubs. Strange noises jar him awake in the middle of the night. And soon Blake fears someone knows his darkest secrets…
Danger lives right at home, and by the time Blake realizes it, it’ll be far too late. The trap is already set.“
The book has been at the top of the NYT bestsellers list for quite a few weeks. It’s definitely not the only book of McFadden’s that is being adapted. The Housemaid, starring Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, and Brandon Sklenar, is directed by Paul Feig.
The Housemaid will be released on Christmas Day. No word on The Tenant, and knowing Hollywood, we have no idea how far along it is, even though it was just announced.
