    Amanda Seyfried is "campaigning" for the lead role in the TV series 'All Fours'

    The 39-year-old actress explained that she is desperate to lead the cast of the Starz adaptation of Miranda July's provocative novel - which tells the story of a 45-year-old woman who goes through a sexual awakening after having an affair during a road trip


    Amanda told Gold Derby: "I am campaigning to be the lead. I will be the right age by the time it gets made. It's very complicated and complex and nuanced. It's a sexual awakening of someone.

    "I love books by women about hard things."

    Meanwhile, Seyfried stars as Nina in the upcoming psychological thriller movie 'The Housemaid' and explained that she was left "giddy" by the unique demands of the role.

    She said: "It still makes me giddy anytime someone mentions it. I get to play a character I never got to play and that's a giant win. I play someone playing someone deranged."

    The 'Mamma Mia!' star relished getting to work with director Paul Feig on the picture and found it very "liberating" collaborating with the 'Bridesmaids' helmer.

    Amanda said: "He brings out the darkest, funniest s***. It always blows my mind. I felt very free to just go nuts and that was very liberating."

    Seyfried features alongside Sydney Sweeney in the flick, which will be released in December, and thinks that the movie will be a success.

    She said: "I think that the Sydney and me team, works. It was really fun. I usually think no one is going to see anything I do. I have low expectations but I actually think this movie is going to get seen."

    'The Housemaid' is based on Freida McFadden's 2022 novel of the same name and Amanda is certain that the movie will fulfil the expectations of those who have read the book.

    She said: "The only reason to do it is if the script makes these characters come alive even more and they did an incredible job with the script."

    Amanda previously revealed that she cherishes her "alone time", which she spends doing a lot of crocheting.

    The Hollywood actress told People: "I sit and I crochet, or I go to the gym in the barn, or I go out to coffee with a fellow parent or a friend upstate.

    "I get a lot of alone time on a train when I go to the city. If I have to go to the city, I take the train. And I get like an hour and 40 minutes of alone time each way. And I'm always crocheting. Knitting, crocheting, that's my lifestyle."
