Alec Baldwin knows a little something about being in charge. He fired up the sad sack salesmen in “Glengarry Glen Ross,” he’s currently lampooning Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live,” and next spring, the actor is going to call the shots from the crib in the animated “The Boss Baby.”

Also featuring the voices of Miles Bahski, Jimmy Kimmel, Lisa Kudrow, Tobey Maguire, and Steve Buscemi, the movie follows a seven year-old whose world is turned upside down with the arrival of a new baby into the family. And friction is not too far behind.
“There’s sibling rivalry and there’s rivalry between puppies and babies over who is the cutest and who gets the most love,” director Tom McGrath (“Megamind,” “Madagascar“) told USA Today, who felt kinship with the story due to his own relationship with his older sibling. “We’re competitive and we argue, but as you get older and go through life’s trenches together, you realize he’s ultimately your best friend. In a way, this movie is a love letter to my brother.”
“The Boss Baby” opens on March 31, 2017.
