Jonathan Levine (writer/director of The Wackness) is set to direct The Sitter for Fox Atomic.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, 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.

Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka wrote the screenplay.

No production date has been set.
