The comedian will play in a film intended for the streaming platform Joey Ramone, the singer of the famous punk group Ramones.
Known for his often trashy sense of humor, the American comedian Pete Davidson will play the king of punk Joey Ramone (1951-2001) in a biopic broadcast on Netfix, reports the specialized site Deadline.
This film designed with the collaboration of the family of the late singer of the Ramones will be directed by Jason Orley, a close friend of Pete Davidson. He will be inspired by I Slept with Joey Ramone, biography of the punk singer written by his brother Mickey Leigh.
“I Slept with Joey Ramone is a great tribute to rock, which will make such a great biopic, rooted in a universal family history, ”said Adam Folgelson, who produced the film, before adding that“ Pete is perfect for the role ”.
The comedian, one of the stars of the satirical show Saturday Night Live, got her first major film role last year in The King of Staten Island by Judd Apatow. This year he will be showing at The Suicide Squad by James Gunn.
