“Charlie’s Angels” director McG has found his next big screen effort in New Line’s “The Babysitter,” TheWrap has learned.
Already on board as a producer through his Wonderland Sound and Vision shingle, McG now takes the director’s chair on the project. The plot is largely under wraps 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. His most successful outing to date was the big-screen adaptation of “Angels” — with Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore — and a sequel, “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.”
