I-can-do-anything chickie Florence Pugh, soon to eventually be seen in “Black Widow”, has been snapped up by Universal to star in the feature adaptation of Nite Prose’s novel “The Maid”.
Flick, says THR, is an an Agatha Christie-like murder mystery with an unlikely detective: Molly the maid. Zach Braff’s mattress sharer plays the help.
Molly works at Regency Grand Hotel and tidies up the guests’ messes and sweeps up their secrets. But things take a suspenseful turn when she discovers an infamous wealthy guest, Mr. Black, dead in his bed and sets about to solve the mystery of his demise.
Pugh’s had a good coupla years – “Little Women” did solid biz, “Midsommar” became a monster cult hit, “Fighting with the Family” won her nice notices, and she snagged the guy from “Scrubs”.
No, not this guy..
