Jonah Hill To Star In The Sitter, David Gordon Green To Replace Jonathan Levine As Director

Last year I had a chance to read an early draft I read was pretty great. The Adventures in Babysitting comparison is good, as it is basically an R-rated version of that film. For example, Noah drags the kids along while he stops at a drugdealer’s house to pick up some coke for a girl he is trying to get with. One of the boys ends up stealing something valuable from the drug dealer’s house which sets up a chain of events which just keep snowballing in scale and hilarity.

The bad news is that Jonathan Levine, director of The Wackness, appears to have been replaced by David Gordon Green, who is in talks to helm the film. I was a huge fan of The Wackness, and I believed that the project would have been perfect for Levine to stretch his legs and make a name for himself.
