The Hollywood Reporter has brought word that the upcoming Universal Pictures comedy from Knocked Up mastermind Judd Apatow and Saturday Night Live vet Pete Davidson has signed on Marisa Tomei (Spider-Man: Far From Home) to co-star in the film.
Davidson wrote the script to the film along with Apatow and Dave Sirus, which is described in the report “as a semi-autobiographical story of Davidson growing up in Staten Island, New York.”
The young actor lost his father in 9/11, an event that that obviously had a vital impact on his life.
Davidson joined SNL when he was just 20 years old, and has since appeared in numerous TV shows including Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Jim Gaffigan Show.
