Spyglass toppers Roger Birnbaum and Gary Barber are producing along with the company's Jonathan Glickman. Spyglass' Derek Evans is executive producing with Shankman, Jennifer Gibgot, George Zakk and Garrett Grant. At the studio, the project is being overseen by Kristin Burr for production topper Nina Jacobson. Garrett is repped by ICM, Raw Talent and attorney Michael Gendler. Pacifier marks Thieriot's second feature film following Kid for Fox. He is repped by the Gersh Agency and manager Don Gibble.
