Idina Menzel and Jae Suh Park (“The Big Short”) have joined Golden Globe nominee Elsie Fisher (“Eighth Grade”) and Alan S. Kim (“Minari”) for “Latchkey Kids,” which David Garrett’s Mister Smith Entertainment has boarded as its sales agent.
Starlings Entertainment is also now on board to co-produce and finance the feature, which Mister Smith is launching at this week’s European Film Market in Berlin where it bids fair to become one of the market standouts.
Directed by John J. Budion, whose feature debut was the acclaimed fest hit “Rockaway,” and with a script from Meaghan Cleary, “Latchkey Kids” is scheduled to start production in late Spring. Ken H. Keller and Caron Rudner of Related Pictures Group produce. Executive producers are Brendan Thomas of Luber Roklin, Cory Thompson, and RPG’s David Polemeni and Donald Malter.

Two acting prodigies from past and present awards contenders are teaming up for a dark new comedy.
Alan S. Kim, the 7-year-old breakout star of “Minari,” is joining forces with “Eighth Grade” actor Elsie Fisher for the new film “Latchkey Kids.”
Fisher was a Golden Globe nominee for best performance by an actress in a comedy or musical for the widely praised 2018 Bo Burnham film. Kim stole hearts and earned raves for his role as young David in “Minari,” Lee Isaac Chung’s American epic. Both films were released by A24.
In “Latchkey Kids,” Kim will play a bright nine-year-old who befriends an eccentric teenager (Fisher), who’s also looking to escape a dysfunctional life and mother. The pair faces a considerable obstacle — local enforcement believes Kim’s character might be offing his babysitters. Production on the indie is set to begin this June.
