The king of Staten island
A
semi-autobiographical comedy-drama about Pete Davidson growing up in Staten Island, including losing his father during 9/11 and entering the world of stand up comedy.
The King of Staten Island is a 2020 American comedy-drama film directed by Judd Apatow, from a screenplay by Apatow, Pete Davidson, and Dave Sirus. It stars Davidson, Marisa Tomei, Bill Burr, Bel Powley, Maude Apatow, and Steve Buscemi, and follows a young man who must get his life together after his mother starts dating a new man who, like his deceased father, is a firefighter.
Pete Davidson's “The King of Staten Island” was pulled unceremoniously — and mysteriously — from drive-in theaters last week, reports Variety. The semi-autobiographical film, which offers a comic take on “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson's childhood in the borough, was instead released Friday for video only.
Although not explicitly a true story, The King of Staten Island is an adaptation of Pete Davidson's life. Judd Apatow's latest movie features Davidson playing a fictionalized version of himself; a character who hopes to be a tattoo artist instead of a comedian.
