The next remake of a classic favorite is Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, a fresh take on the same-named dark comedy from 1991 that has received an official trailer today.
Iconic Events Releasing brings the remake to theaters on April 12, and Entertainment Weekly has debuted the Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead trailer this afternoon.
Watch the trailer below and read on for everything you need to know.
Nicole Richie, June Squibb, Jermaine Fowler, Ms. Pat, Gus Kenworthy, Simone Joy Jones, Donielle Tremaine Hansley, Miles Fowler, Iantha Richardson and Tyriq Withers star in the upcoming film, directed by Wade Allain-Marcus.
The new film ” follows 17-year-old girl Tanya (Jones), who plans to vacation in Europe with her friends before heading to college in the fall. But her mom (Ms. Pat) decides to go to a wellness retreat in Thailand, so Tanya is forced to stay home with her siblings. When — as the title suggests — their elderly babysitter (Squibb) unexpectedly dies, Tayna gets a job working for an ambitious woman named Rose (Ritchie). As she juggles work, family and a complicated romance, Tanya navigates adulthood at the cost of her last summer of freedom.”
The director tells EW in today’s preview piece, “Centering this story around this family was a no-brainer. Don’t Tell Mom has always been about becoming an adult before your time, and we know that’s true for all Black kids. Everyone involved in the film brought their A game — come for the laughs, stay for the heart, the vibe and the music.”
In the 1991 movie directed by Stephen Herek and starring Christina Applegate, “Five siblings are left alone all summer when their mom leaves town and the evil babysitter bites the dust.”
