Script Sale: Sports Babysitter
June 10th, 2004
Sean McGinly will write a screenplay based on a pitch by George Tillman Jr. and Robert Teitel's State Street Pictures and A Squared Prods. The duo reportedly sold their untitled Sports Babysitter pitch, based on an article in Details magazine by Chris Smith, to 20th Century Fox recently. The story centers on a star NFL quarterback who jeopardizes his lucrative corporate endorsement deal when he misbehaves in public. With the publicity-rich Super Bowl fast approaching, the company hires a child psychologist to "baby-sit" the wayward athlete and protect their brand from further scandal.
