A new featurette has been released for the upcoming comedy The King of Staten Island, which takes a semi-autobiographical look at the life of comedian Pete Davidson. The film is directed by Judd Apatow and stars Davidson alongside Marisa Tomei, Bill Burr, Bel Powley, Maude Apatow and Steve Buscemi.
The King of Staten Island will be available on VOD platforms June 12th.
Scott (Davidson) has been a case of arrested development ever since his firefighter father died when he was seven. He’s now reached his mid-20s having achieved little, chasing a dream of becoming a tattoo artist that seems far out of reach. As his ambitious younger sister (Maude Apatow, HBO’s Euphoria) heads off to college, Scott is still living with his exhausted ER nurse mother (Oscar® winner Marisa Tomei) and spends his days smoking weed, hanging with the guys—Oscar (Ricky Velez, Master of None), Igor (Moises Arias, Five Feet Apart) and Richie (Lou Wilson, TV’s The Guest Book)—and secretly hooking up with his childhood friend Kelsey (Bel Powley, Apple TV+’s The Morning Show).
