Despite getting heaps of praise and being much loved, Sam Rockwell still seems to be largely a supporting player in films, and now it appears he’ll be showing up in a side role in David Gordon Green’s The Sitter. Jonah Hill will take the lead role of a young man who gets suspended from college, has to move back home with his parents and is forced to look after the three wild kids who live next door.
J,B. Smoove was recently announced to play a drug dealer in the movie, and according to The Wrap, Rockwell has now come on board to play the other one. Another new addition to the film is Youth In Revolt and Whip It’s Ari Graynor, who’ll play the female lead in the movie.
Max Records, Kevin Hernandez and newcomer Landry Bender will be the troublesome kids. The film starts shooting shortly for a release next summer.
