Nicole Richie couldn’t help but praise her latest project as she reflected on returning to the big screen for the first time in nearly two decades.
A month before her movie, Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, hits theaters, the former reality star, 42, reflected on how excited she was to be cast as Rose Lindsey.
‘I’ve been a fan of Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead since day one; “Having the opportunity to play Rose is a dream come true,” she told Entertainment Weekly.
Originally, Tyra Banks was cast as Rose, whose character was first played by Joanna Cassidy in the 1991 original of the same name, in the R-rated comedy.
Nicole Richie couldn’t help but praise her latest project as she reflected on returning to the big screen for the first time in nearly two decades.
Less than a month before the Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead reboot, written by Chuck Hayward, hits theaters, the former reality star, 42, reflected on how excited she was to land the role of Rose Lindsey.
Richie ended up taking on the role “due to a change in the production schedule” that no longer aligned with “Tyra’s schedule,” a source told ET.
Richie was featured prominently in the film’s latest trailer, which was released on Tuesday, while June Squibb, 94, provided comic relief as the eponymous babysitter.
Like the original, starring a young Christina Applegate, the remake of Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead follows the antics of a 17-year-old girl who is forced to become the primary caregiver for her younger siblings after that the old woman would take care of her mother. She hires her to die unexpectedly while traveling on a wellness retreat in Thailand.
The teaser begins with 17-year-old Tanya Crandell (Simone Joy Jones) announcing to her siblings that her mother had a nervous breakdown and was going to a wellness center in Thailand.
As she and her siblings plan to spend the rest of the summer unsupervised, an old sedan arrives.
Squibb’s character is presented feet first as she slowly walks out the front door to ruin her summer plans.
The first thing Jones’ character notices is the Bible that Squibb’s character, Mrs. Sturrack, is holding to her chest.
“Look, it’s great that you were a Jehovah’s Witness or whatever, but now is a bad time,” Tanya says dismissively as she walks over to slam the door in the old woman’s face.
‘Oh no, dear. “I’m Mrs. Sturrack, the nanny,” she says kindly.

Wade Allain-Marcus directed the R-rated comedy while Ted Lasso writer Chuch Hayward wrote the script.
“Oh hell no,” Tanya says angrily as she slams the door shut.
The action then cuts to an office where his mother (comedian Patricia Williams, aka Mrs. Pat) works.
Richie appears to be her boss, who also hired Tanya.
She gives the teen a speech mocking his catchphrase from the original film.
The former reality star begins, “Oh, and most importantly, if we’re not alone and I ask you something, you just say…” before cutting off.
In the 1991 film, Joanna Cassidy played the character and instructed Crandell’s eldest daughter to respond, “I’m aware of that, Rose!”
The original film was mostly successful, grossing $25 million against a $10 million budget and receiving mostly negative reviews.
However, it became a cult film and remained a popular film on home video and in video rental stores.
Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead opens exclusively in theaters on April 12.
After hitting theaters, it will be released on streaming later this year.
