Raven-Symone To Star in "Adventures In Babysitting" Remake

Raven-Symone, star of That's So Raven and former Cosby Show granddaughter, is reportedly attached to star in the Walt Disney Pictures remake of Adventures in Babysitting.

As well as landing the "Babysitting" role, Reuters reports that " Symone also has signed an acting and producing deal with Disney that includes a guaranteed pay or play on one movie, with an option for a second. It is uncertain whether "Babysitting" will be part of that deal."

RTE reminisces about the original 1987Adventures in Babysitting as being " the directorial debut of Chris Columbus and starred Elisabeth Shue as a high school senior that gets stuck with babysitting the Anderson kids." The dull babysitting job quickly turn into a series of misadventures when she gets a call from her friend downtown who needs help.

Writers attached to the remake project are David Stern and David Weiss. The producer of the original Adventures in Babysitting, Lynda Obst, will return to produce the remake. No director has been attached to the project.

The original movie spun off a short-lived TV series after its release. The show, starring Jennifer Guthrie, Joey Lawrence, Courtney Peldon, Penelope Ann Miller and Brian Austin Green was cancelled soon after its original launch.

Raven-Symone began working in commercials at age two. After landing her role on The Cosby Show, which she did for more than 3 years, Raven put out a CD called Here's to New Dreams. After a stint on Hangin' With Mr. Cooper, Raven has gone on to land roles in such movies as Little Rascals, Dr. Dolittle, Cheetah Girls, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, and Fat Albert. Along with her role on That's So Raven, one of Disney Channel's highest rated shows, Raven will also be in Cheetah Girls 2 , That's So Raven: The Movie, and Double Dutch.
