Jonathan Levine, who wrote and directed Sundance darling "The Wackness," has signed to direct "
The Sitter" for Fox Atomic. Michael De Luca is producing.
The irreverent comedy will harken back to 1987's "Adventures in Babysitting." It follows a college student, suspended for the semester and living back at home with his single mom, who has a night to remember when he gets talked into baby-sitting the eccentric kids next door -- two boys and a wild 8-year-old girl.
