  Notes:
  Production Notes - Notes provided by 20th Century Fox - When the world's worst babysitter (Jonah Hill) takes three of the world's worst kids on an unforgettable overnight adventure through the streets of New York City, it's anyone's guess as to who is going to make it home in one piece. Jonah Hill is THE SITTER, a new level of twisted and debauched storytelling from the director of Pineapple Express. Subversive. Vulgar. Envelope-pushing. And that's just the first few minutes of the comedy THE SITTER, which, after those unforgettable 200 seconds or so, proceeds to go to even more extreme lengths of verbal scatology, plus assorted drug runs, bar fights, and episodes of grand larceny. Its cast of characters includes a drug kingpin, his fast-talking associate, a sexually selfish, coke-seeking woman, a trio of really, really effed-up kids, and a debased college dropout who earns his rep as the babysitter from hell only minutes after arriving on the scene. Interwoven with THE SITTER's raunchy fun are quieter and gentler comedic moments that sneak up to connect with audiences in unexpected ways. The heart, soul and titular anti-hero of THE SITTER is Jonah Hill, who emerged as a formidable and original comedic voice in the films The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and Superbad, and who more recently was hailed for his dramatic performances in the acclaimed independent film Cyrus, and opposite Brad Pitt in the critical and box-office hit Moneyball. Hill's on-screen character, Noah, is not your typical entertain-the-kids-no-matter-how-boring-it-is kind of sitter. Not even close. He's reluctant to take the sitting gig; he'd rather, well, be doing anything else, especially if it involves slacking. ``Noah is more of the 'sit on the sofa, eat a burrito, and do-whatever-I-say-or-I'll-kill-you' type of babysitter, says Hill. Hill, who also serves as an executive producer on THE SITTER, worked closely with his director, David Gordon Green to ensure that the film had maximum comedic and emotional impact. ``The humor in THE SITTER is rowdy and bawdy, but it has a heart of gold at its core, says Green, whose blockbuster comedy Pineapple Express, expertly merged the yin and yang of raunchiness and heart. ``David has a great sense of humor, says Hill, ``but getting to know him, I realized that we also shared a desire to bring some unexpected texture, details and layers to the film. THE SITTER began life as a simple idea imagined by screenwriters Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka. ``We thought it'd be fun to watch Jonah Hill, screaming and cursing at the kids he was babysitting, says Gatewood. ``But then the challenge was, how do we make a movie around that idea, adds Tanaka. ``We envisioned THE SITTER as more than a funny idea or sketch; we wanted to come up with characters that have arcs, and where things fall apart and somehow must be put back together. Along with screenwriters Gatewood and Tanaka, Hill, Green and producer Michael De Luca worked tirelessly to flesh out the story and characters, starting with the Sitter himself. ``Noah is at a crossroads in his life, Hill explains. ``He's been kicked out of school, he's dating a woman who doesn't treat him very well, and all he wants to do is hang out on his mom's sofa and watch TV. He doesn't know what he's going to do with his life. Adds De Luca: ``Noah is stuck. He's not 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 best option is a quick babysitting stint, which he very reluctantly agrees to, and then only to help out his mom, who's eyeing a blind date with a surgeon (set up by the parents of the kids Noah is to watch). ``Noah just wants to get the babysitting gig over with, so he can go back to watching TV at 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 evening babysitting, lurk three youngsters - his would-be charges - that Noah will immediately, and justifiably, characterize as ``freaks. The eldest, Slater (Max Records), 13, is riddled with anxiety and identity issues, for which he takes a disciplined regimen of pills. Even with the meds, Slater is poised to freak out at a moment'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 Wild Things 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 palettes and slathered with her mom's makeup. Noah's first encounter with the mini-``celebutante is unpleasant: Blithe twice sprays him in the mouth with a bottle of floral perfume. ``She's insane! says Hill of the character. ``Blithe represents a segment of our culture whose entire world 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 I was looking for, admits Green, ``but I knew what I wasn't looking for. When Landry came in to 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 Rodrigò (Kevin Hernandez), a defiant and explosion-happy mini-thug the family adopted in Mexico. Rodrigo is not happy unless he's blowing s*it up...literally; as Noah and the kids begin their misbegotten odyssey Rodrigò's cherry bombs victimize several toilets across New York City. And his theft of a priceless item from the lair 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. ``Rodrigò pretends to be a badass because he's been bounced around foster homes, and thinks his time with his latest family will be limited. But he really wants to be a part of the family, says Hill. Adds Green: ``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 grand larceny escalate, Noah finds himself actually relating to the kids. ``Noah realizes each of them has problems and issues, and he actually begins to understand and help them work through those issues, says Hill. Offers De Luca: ``All the characters are working the wrong angle. They're all on the wrong path and 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, a manipulative, 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's oral ministrations. (``It was an, umm, interesting scene to shoot, says Graynor, noting that Hill lightened things up considerably by singing a well know videogame song as the action unfolded.) 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 a softer side to the character. ``Marisa is a tough customer, and a pain in the ass, but she's also vulnerable, notes Graynor. ``You come to understand that her hardened attitude stems from insecurities 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 an impossible 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 a small mountain of the white stuff. Marisa's pushers of choice are Karl, an insane but oddly sensitive drug dealer, and his sidekick Julio. Acclaimed actor Sam Rockwell (Moon) portrays Karl, and JB Smoove, best known for his work as Larry David's pal on Curb Your Enthusiasm, is the fast-talking and profane Julio. The two antagonists are so extreme, in unexpected ways, that Green admits, ``I'm not sure we crafted those characters. I think we just let them out of a cage and they exploded, and things got messy and out of control. We thought of Karl as a combination of James Cagney and Andy Warhol. Sam Rockwell notes that Karl is ``dangerous, scary, and very funny. He sees Noah as more than just a customer; he wants to be pals with him, and being pals comes with trust. When Karl thinks Noah 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 JB Smoove in his signature rapid-fire patter. ``Julio is so bad, he doesn't carry a gun - he doesn't need 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 he wheels his way to greeting visitors to Karl's lair, and running errands for his boss. Garv's loyalty and friendship are treasured by Karl - but that doesn't prevent the drug kingpin from shooting him in the leg when Garv displeases him. An extraordinarily bizarre character like Karl certainly merits an equally unconventional lair, so THE SITTER production designer Richard Wright crafted a surreal scientific laboratory and stronghold, where European techno trance pulsates, and 'roided-up bodybuilders pump iron beneath pervasive fluorescent lights. Bodybuilders? Pumping iron? In a drug lab? ``I just knew I wanted bodybuilders throughout this environment, Green explains of the incongruity. Wright was only too happy to oblige, with his imagination sparked by everything from epic Stanley Kubrick sets to '80s breakdance movies. Another favorite set for the filmmakers was ``Kid City, a clothing store where Noah must interrupt his drug run, kids in tow, to buy some new undergarments for young Blithe, who has soiled the pair she's wearing. (``I sharted, she announces in the car to the appalled Sitter.) As Noah waits for Blithe to complete the change of clothing, he's left alone in the girls' underwear department. 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 escalate throughout the story, to unexpected results. THE SITTER, a genuine New York story, was shot last fall and winter on locations in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and an upper middle class neighborhood in Yonkers. Brooklyn provided some colorful and historic locations, including the borough's Williamsberg and Greenpoint sections, the latter providing various interior and exterior locations for Karl's incredible 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 off bursts of reflected light that made for real movie magic. The Forrest Park Carousel, a historical fixture in the middle of a picturesque park, Grand Army Plaza, and Prospect Park provided the locations for a chase scene with numerous twists and turns. Several interior sets were captured at the renowned Silvercup Studios West in Astoria, Queens. Manhattan's Chinatown provided a kind of otherworldly environment, where Karl and roller-skating Garv greet the shell-shocked travelers. New York City - and the way we look at babysitters - may never be the same. THE SITTER is in theaters everywhere December 9. ABOUT THE CAST JONAH HILL (Noah) has quickly become one of Hollywood's most sought after talents, due initially in part to his starring role opposite Michael Cera in the acclaimed hit Superbad, produced by Judd Apatow, directed by Greg Mottola, and written by Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg. Since then, Hill has become a mainstay in the Apatow filmmaking clan, starring in the Apatow-produced summer comedies, Get Him to the Greek, in 2010, Funny People, in 2009, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, in 2008. Hill's first appearance in an Apatow production was in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, in 2005 starring opposite Steve Carell and Seth Rogen. More recently, Hill appeared in the baseball drama Moneyball for Columbia Pictures, opposite Brad Pitt. The film has received critical accolades and Hill was praised for his work in the supporting role of Peter Brand. The film has grossed $60 million in its first month of release. Hill made his directing debut with his first music video, for Sara Bareillis' ``Gonna Get Over You, released in September. Last year was an important one for Hill, who broke free from comedy characters to take on more serious roles. He starred as the title character in the dark comedy, Cyrus, directed by Jay and Mark Duplass. The film received much buzz at the Sundance Film Festival, where it premiered for Fox Searchlight Pictures, and Hill received high praise from critics, who cited his evolution as an actor and artist. Also last year, Hill had a starring role in the animated hit Megamind for DreamWorks Animation, also starring Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, and Tina Fey. Hill voiced Snotlout in DreamWorks Animation's How to Train Your Dragon, opposite Gerard Butler. The film went on to gross $492 million worldwide and a sequel has been confirmed for 2013. Hill toplined the feature comedy, Get Him to the Greek, opposite Russell Brand. The 27-year-old continues to confirm his place among a new generation of writer/actors. For the small screen, Hill co-created the new animated series Allen Gregory, which tells the tale of one of the most pretentious seven-year-olds of our time. The series recently premiered on FOX as part of the network's vaunted Sunday night Animation Domination block. Hill serves as the voice of the title character and is the show's executive producer. Hill wrapped production on 21 Jump Street, which he co-wrote. The film also stars Channing Tatum and Ice Cube, and is directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller. 21 Jump Street is slated for a March 2012 release in the U.S. Hill served as associate producer on the Sacha Baron Cohen comedy, Bruno. Hill began his career performing one-scene plays that he wrote and performed at the gritty Black & White bar in New York City. After landing a role in David O. Russell's I Heart Huckabees with Dustin Hoffman and Lilly Tomlin, his career quickly took off. MAX RECORDS (Slater), 14, has a wide range of interests: food carts, the Portland Trailblazers, and the graphic novels of Osamu Tezuka chief among them. Through happenstance, at the age of eight, Records appeared in music videos for the bands Cake and Death Cab for Cutie. This led to a leading role in the Spike Jonze adaptation of the Maurice Sendak classic Where the Wild Things Are, as well as subsequent roles in The Brothers Bloom and the short film Blinky(tm). ARI GRAYNOR (Marisa) was recently seen in a leading role opposite Anna Faris and Chris Evans in the New Regency comedy What's Your Number? She completed work on Ten Year, written and directed by Jamie Linden, also starring Channing Tatum and Rosario Dawson. The film premiered at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. Graynor recently wrapped the films Celeste and Jesse Forever, opposite Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg; My Mother's Curse with Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen; and For a Good Time, Call, which Graynor also executive produced, and also starring Lauren Miller and Justin Long. Last year, she starred in Lucky, also starring Colin Hanks and Jeffrey Tambor. Her additional film credits include Holy Rollers, Conviction, Youth In Revolt, Whip It!, An American Crime, Games 6, The Great New Wonderful, Bereft, For Your Consideration, and Book of Love.

Graynor returns to the stage this fall in the world premiere Broadway production of Relatively Speaking, three one-act comedies written by Ethan Coen, Elaine May and Woody Allen; Graynor will star in Allen's one-act titled Honeymoon Hotel under the direction of John Turturro. Graynor was last seen in the Second Stage Theater production, Trust, written by Paul Weitz, directed by Peter DuBois; she starred opposite Zach Braff, Bobby Cannavale and Sutton Foster. Graynor made her Broadway debut in Donald Margulies's Brooklyn Boy at the Manhattan Theater Club, which garnered her a 2005 Clarence Derwent Award for Most Promising Female Actress. Two years later Graynor starred on Broadway in The Little Dog Laughed, a 2007 Tony(R) Award nominee for Best Play. She also appeared in the hit off-Broadway play, Dog Sees God. Among Graynor's many stand-out television credits are her portrayal of Meadow Soprano's troubled roommate Caitlin, on The Sopranos, and her recurring role on Fringe as the younger sister of the female lead played by Anna Torv. Graynor has been singled out by Entertainment Weekly as one of the Top 25 Funniest Actresses in Hollywood and received the Comedy Award at the 2009 Hollywood Life Young Hollywood Awards. JB SMOOVE (Julio) is a gifted writer, comedian and actor who entertains audiences with his unique brand of comedic funk. His breakout role as Leon on HBOs Curb Your Enthusiasm has firmly planted Smoove as one of the best comedic actors today. In September 1999, Smoove moved to Los Angeles and landed a recurring role on MTV's The Lyricist Lounge Show, as well as featured guest spots on The Chris Rock Show and Premium Blend. In June 2000, Smoove landed his first big feature film role, narrating and starring in the cult classic Pootie Tang with Chris Rock. In March 2001 Smoove co-starred in Mr. Deeds, starring Adam Sandler. After an impressive yet short lived season as a cast member on Fox's Cedric the Entertainer Presents, Smoove moved back to New York City, where he landed a writing position on NBC's Saturday Night Live. Smoove has been featured on Comedy Central's Tough Crowd, Jamie Foxx Presents: Laffapalooza, on various SNL sketches, and as a regular on Late Night with Conan OBrien. He recently wrapped his third season on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and appeared as Manny on the series Everybody Hates Chris. Last year, Smoove appeared in the feature comedy Date Night, and earlier this year had a co-starring role in Hall Pass, directed by the Farrelly brothers. Upcoming is Cameron Crowe's We Bought a Zoo, starring Matt Damon. Smoove's unique comedic voice has been put to good use in animation. He voices a role in the upcoming Ice Age: Continental Drift and in the new Fox animated series Allen Gregory, staring Jonah Hill. Smoove has a development deal at Fox to create his own series in partnership with filmmaker Shawn Levy, whom Smoove met and worked with on Date Night. Smoove is expanding his comedy empire with the launch of The Ruckus, a website focused on original and branded comedy content. SAM ROCKWELL (Karl) has emerged as one of the most dynamic actors of his generation by continuing to take on challenging roles in both independent and studio productions. Rockwell was seen starring opposite Hilary Swank in Tony Goldwyn's Conviction, based on the true story of Betty Anne Waters. The film was released last year by Fox Searchlight. Earlier this year, Rockwell starred in director Jon Favreau's Cowboys & Aliens, also starring Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford.

After a brief stint in the music business in Atlanta, Bratman made the pilgrimage to Los Angeles where he landed an assistant position in the feature film production department at Twentieth Century Fox. At Fox, Bratman gained a reputation for tracking buzzworthy spec scripts and trends in popular culture. Bratman then joined the production company Strike Entertainment as a creative executive, serving as production executive on the hit remake Dawn of the Dead, which was one of Universal Pictures' most profitable films of 2004. In 2005, former New Line and DreamWorks studio chief Michael De Luca tapped Bratman as a creative producer to help kick-start his new Columbia Pictures-based shingle, Michael De Luca Productions.
