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

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."
