<strong>THE</strong> <strong>SITTER</strong> (2011)PRODUCTION NOTESPRODUCTION INFORMATIONIt's 10 p.m. Do you know where your children are?When the world's worst babysitter (Jonah Hill) takes three of the world's worst kids on anunforgettable overnight adventure through the streets of New York City, it's anyone's guess as towho is going to make it home in one piece. Jonah Hill is <strong>THE</strong> <strong>SITTER</strong>, a new level of twistedand debauched storytelling from the director of Pineapple Express.Subversive. Vulgar. Envelope-pushing. And that's just the first few minutes of the comedy <strong>THE</strong><strong>SITTER</strong>, which, after those unforgettable 200 seconds or so, proceeds to go to even moreextreme lengths of verbal scatology, plus assorted drug runs, bar fights, and episodes of grandlarceny. Its cast of characters includes a drug kingpin, his fast-talking associate, a sexuallyselfish, coke-seeking woman, a trio of really, really effed"“up kids, and a debased collegedropout who earns his rep as the babysitter from hell only minutes after arriving on the scene.Interwoven with <strong>THE</strong> <strong>SITTER</strong>'s raunchy fun are quieter and gentler comedic moments thatsneak up to connect with audiences in unexpected ways. The heart, soul and titular anti-hero of<strong>THE</strong> <strong>SITTER</strong> is Jonah Hill, who emerged as a formidable and original comedic voice in thefilms The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and Superbad, and who more recently was hailedfor his dramatic performances in the acclaimed independent film Cyrus, and opposite Brad Pitt inthe critical and box-office hit Moneyball.Hill's on-screen character, Noah, is not your typical entertain-the-kids-no-matter-how-boring-itiskind of sitter. Not even close. He's reluctant to take the sitting gig; he'd rather, well, be doinganything else, especially if it involves slacking. "Noah is more of the "sit on the sofa, eat aburrito, and do-whatever-I-say-or-I'll-kill-you' type of babysitter,"• says Hill.Hill, who also serves as an executive producer on <strong>THE</strong> <strong>SITTER</strong>, worked closely with hisdirector, David Gordon Green to ensure that the film had maximum comedic and emotionalimpact. "The humor in <strong>THE</strong> <strong>SITTER</strong> is rowdy and bawdy, but it has a heart of gold at itscore,"• says Green, whose blockbuster comedy Pineapple Express, expertly merged the yin andyang of raunchiness and heart."David has a great sense of humor,"• says Hill,"• "but getting to know him, I realized that wealso shared a desire to bring some unexpected texture, details and layers to the film."•<strong>THE</strong> <strong>SITTER</strong> began life as a simple idea imagined by screenwriters Brian Gatewood andAlessandro Tanaka. "We thought it'd be fun to watch Jonah Hill, screaming and cursing at thekids he was babysitting,"• says Gatewood. "But then the challenge was, how do we make amovie around that idea,"• adds Tanaka. "We envisioned <strong>THE</strong> <strong>SITTER</strong> as more than a funnyidea or sketch; we wanted to come up with characters that have arcs, and where things fall apartand somehow must be put back together."•Along with screenwriters Gatewood and Tanaka, Hill, Green and producer Michael De Lucaworked tirelessly to flesh out the story and characters, starting with the Sitter himself. "Noah is atTM and© 2011 20th Century Fox 3


<strong>THE</strong> <strong>SITTER</strong> (2011)PRODUCTION NOTESa crossroads in his life,"• Hill explains. "He's been kicked out of school, he's dating a womanwho doesn't treat him very well, and all he wants to do is hang out on his mom's sofa and watchTV. He doesn't know what he's going to do with his life."• Adds De Luca: "Noah is stuck. He'snot moving forward with his life and he's regretting some of his past choices."•Noah's choices in the present are, unsurprisingly, extremely limited. It says a lot that Noah's bestoption is a quick babysitting stint, which he very reluctantly agrees to, and then only to help outhis mom, who's eyeing a blind date with a surgeon (set up by the parents of the kids Noah is towatch). "Noah just wants to get the babysitting gig over with, so he can go back to watching TVat his mom's place,"• Hill explains.But once Noah becomes The Sitter, there's no going back to his former life "“ whatever that was.In the comfortable suburban New York home where Noah is to be spending the eveningbabysitting, lurk three youngsters "“ his would-be charges "“ that Noah will immediately, andjustifiably, characterize as "freaks."•The eldest, Slater (Max Records), 13, is riddled with anxiety and identity issues, for which hetakes a disciplined regimen of pills. Even with the meds, Slater is poised to freak out at amoment's notice. "I loved the character's conflicted and surprisingly subtle nature,"• says Green,"and Max, who impressed me with his work in [Spike Jonze's 2009 feature film] Where the WildThings Are, brings out all of Slater's inner turmoil and dimensions."•Then there's Blithe (newcomer Landry Bender), 9, who enjoys playing dress-up" in pink palettesand slathered with her mom's makeup. Noah's first encounter with the mini-"celebutante"• isunpleasant: Blithe twice sprays him in the mouth with a bottle of floral perfume. "She'sinsane!"• says Hill of the character. "Blithe represents a segment of our culture whose entireworld revolves around partying. But, being nine years old, she has no understanding of what"partying' and celebrity culture even mean."•The casting process for Blithe was, like the character itself, non-traditional. "I wasn't sure what Iwas looking for,"• admits Green, "but I knew what I wasn't looking for. When Landry came into audition, her authenticity and charm convinced us she could make Blithe's unlikable manner,unexpectedly likable."•The terrible troika is completed by ten-year-old Rodrigo (Kevin Hernandez), a defiant andexplosion-happy mini-thug the family adopted in Mexico. Rodrigo is not happy unless he'sblowing s*it up" literally; as Noah and the kids begin their misbegotten odyssey Rodrigo's cherrybombs victimize several toilets across New York City. And his theft of a priceless item from thelair of an eccentric drug kingpin triggers an endless series of problems for the besieged Sitter.Still, the filmmakers had no problem seeing the hardened youngster's softer side. "Rodrigopretends to be a badass because he's been bounced around foster homes, and thinks his time withhis latest family will be limited. But he really wants to be a part of the family,"• says Hill. AddsGreen: "Kevin brings a lot of fun to a character marked by tension and alienation."•As the confrontations, arguments, fights, explosions, dive bar visits, and instances of grandTM and© 2011 20th Century Fox 4


<strong>THE</strong> <strong>SITTER</strong> (2011)PRODUCTION NOTESlarceny escalate, Noah finds himself actually relating to the kids. "Noah realizes each of themhas problems and issues, and he actually begins to understand and help them work through thoseissues,"• says Hill.Offers De Luca: "All the characters are working the wrong angle. They're all on the wrong pathand thinking they want what they don't need."• Together, they begin to figure things out.For now, what Noah needs to figure out is his alleged quasi-"girlfriend,"• Marisa, amanipulative, sexually self-involved woman whose request for Noah to score her some coke "“with the promise of sex to follow "“ triggers the Sitter's night to remember. We meet Marisa,portrayed by Ari Graynor (Conviction) in the film's opening moments, as she reacts to Noah'soral ministrations. ("It was an, umm, interesting scene to shoot,"• says Graynor, noting that Hilllightened things up considerably by singing a well know videogame song as the actionunfolded.) But when he requests she return the favor, Marisa declines, offering weak excuses.Marisa's selfishness is a formidable roadblock to likability but here, too, the filmmakers found asofter side to the character. "Marisa is a tough customer, and a pain in the ass, but she's alsovulnerable,"• notes Graynor. "You come to understand that her hardened attitude stems frominsecurities and a broken heart from a previous relationship."•But it's Marisa's cold, manipulative heart that enables her to ask Noah to embark upon animpossible mission: to secure some cocaine for her "“ while he's sitting three obnoxious kids.Noah's futile task results in him getting chased, punched out, and having his face plastered with asmall mountain of the white stuff. Marisa's pushers of choice are Karl, an insane but oddlysensitive drug dealer, and his sidekick Julio. Acclaimed actor Sam Rockwell (Moon) portraysKarl, and JB Smoove, best known for his work as Larry David's pal on Curb Your Enthusiasm, isthe fast-talking and profane Julio.The two antagonists are so extreme, in unexpected ways, that Green admits, "I'm not sure wecrafted those characters. I think we just let them out of a cage and they exploded, and things gotmessy and out of control. We thought of Karl as a combination of James Cagney and AndyWarhol."•Sam Rockwell notes that Karl is "dangerous, scary, and very funny. He sees Noah as more thanjust a customer; he wants to be pals with him, and being pals comes with trust. When Karl thinksNoah has betrayed that trust, he is very, very disappointed in Noah."•Julio has a somewhat more traditional approach to being a badass. "I love being bad,"• says JBSmoove in his signature rapid-fire patter. "Julio is so bad, he doesn't carry a gun "“ he doesn'tneed it! Julio wants to get what's owed him, and to get it, pursues Noah across the city."•Karl's subordinate, Garv (Sean Patrick Doyle), never removes his signature roller-skates, as hewheels his way to greeting visitors to Karl's lair, and running errands for his boss. Garv's loyaltyand friendship are treasured by Karl "“ but that doesn't prevent the drug kingpin from shootinghim in the leg when Garv displeases him.TM and© 2011 20th Century Fox 5


<strong>THE</strong> <strong>SITTER</strong> (2011)PRODUCTION NOTESAn extraordinarily bizarre character like Karl certainly merits an equally unconventional lair, so<strong>THE</strong> <strong>SITTER</strong> production designer Richard Wright crafted a surreal scientific laboratory andstronghold, where European techno trance pulsates, and "roided-up bodybuilders pump ironbeneath pervasive fluorescent lights.Bodybuilders? Pumping iron? In a drug lab? "I just knew I wanted bodybuilders throughout thisenvironment,"• Green explains of the incongruity. Wright was only too happy to oblige, withhis imagination sparked by everything from epic Stanley Kubrick sets to "80s breakdancemovies.Another favorite set for the filmmakers was "Kid City,"• a clothing store where Noah mustinterrupt his drug run, kids in tow, to buy some new undergarments for young Blithe, who hassoiled the pair she's wearing. ("I sharted,"• she announces in the car to the appalled Sitter.) AsNoah waits for Blithe to complete the change of clothing, he's left alone in the girls' underweardepartment. Noah is confronted by a sales clerk, who understandably assumes he's a pedophile,and who, it turns out, holds a longtime grudge against him. Their confrontation will escalatethroughout the story, to unexpected results.<strong>THE</strong> <strong>SITTER</strong>, a genuine New York story, was shot last fall and winter on locations inManhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and an upper middle class neighborhood in Yonkers. Brooklynprovided some colorful and historic locations, including the borough's Williamsberg andGreenpoint sections, the latter providing various interior and exterior locations for Karl'sincredible bodybuilder-laden loft.Queens' Astoria Park provided the location for a poignant moment between Noah and Slater,with the skyline of Manhattan sparkling in the background, and the East River throwing offbursts of reflected light that made for real movie magic. The Forrest Park Carousel, a historicalfixture in the middle of a picturesque park, Grand Army Plaza, and Prospect Park provided thelocations for a chase scene with numerous twists and turns. Several interior sets were captured atthe renowned Silvercup Studios West in Astoria, Queens.Manhattan's Chinatown provided a kind of otherworldly environment, where Karl and rollerskatingGarv greet the shell-shocked travelers.New York City --and the way we look at babysitters-- may never be the same.TM and© 2011 20th Century Fox 6
