First Teaser for R-Rated ‘Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead’ Remake

“Oh hell no!” Iconic Events Releasing and BET+ have revealed the first look teaser trailer for a new remake of Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, arriving in theaters nationwide starting in April. The original Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead is an early 90s comedy cult classic featuring Christina Applegate (the poster is wild, too). Produced by BET+, this fresh and sharp reimagining of the 90s classic is directed by Wade Allain-Marcus (French Dirty) from a script written by Chuck Hayward. Simone Joy Jones leads in the iconic Christina Applegate role alongside an ensemble cast including Nicole Richie, June Squibb (as the titular babysitter), Donielle Tremaine Hensley, Jermaine Fowler, and Ms. Pat, with newcomers Miles Fowler, Iantha Richardson, Gus Kenworthy, Tyriq Withers rounding out the cast. There’s not much to this teaser – barely 30 seconds of footage. But it has the incomparable June Squibb! Yeah she’s the best. The rest looks like it should be funny – just hope it’s anywhere near as good as the original comedy. // Continue Reading ›
