Pete Davidson stars in trailer for Judd Apatow’s The King of Staten Island

May 8, 2020 by Gary Collinson

Universal Pictures has released the first trailer for the upcoming comedy The King of Staten Island. Directed by Judd Apatow, the film is loosely based on the life of Pete Davidson, and sees him playing Scott, a man in his mid-20s who has achieved little since his father passed away, until he finds himself taking the first steps of moving forward with his life when a chain of events forces him to change; watch it here…

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).

But when his mother starts dating a loudmouth firefighter named Ray (Bill Burr, Netflix’s F Is for Family), it sets off a chain of events that will force Scott to grapple with his grief and take his first tentative steps toward moving forward in life.

The King of Staten Island features a cast that also includes Marisa Tomei, Bill Burr, Bel Powley, Maude Apatow, Steve Buscemi, Ricky Velez, Moises Arias, and Lou Wilson.

It is set for a VOD release on June 12th.
