McG Set to Direct Thriller ‘The Babysitter’ at New Line

“Charlie’s Angels” director will also produce the coming-of-age horror story

“Charlie’s Angels” directorย McG has found his next big screen effort in New Line’s “The Babysitter,” TheWrap has learned.

Already on board as a producer through hisย Wonderland Sound and Vision shingle, McG now takes the director’s chair on the project. The plot is largely under wrapsย but is billed as a coming-of-age horror story.

Brian Duffield wrote the screenplay, which rated on the 2014 Black List. Casting is presumably underway for the leads, including a 12-year-old boy who endures a series of unfortunate events with his caretaker.

McG‘s last big screen effort was 2014’s “3 Days to Kill,” starring Kevin Costner and Amber Heard.
