King of Staten Island, noul film al regizorului Judd Apatow, va deschide Festivalul de Film SXSW.

Noua comedie prezinta viata tanarului comediant Pete Davidson, membru Saturday Night Live din 2014, care a crescut in cartierul Staten Island din New York. Scris de Apatow, Davidson si fostul scenarist SNL, Dave Sirus, va avea premiera in cadrul festivalului pe 13 martie, fiind lansat apoi de Universal Pictures pe 19 iunie 2020.

Judd Apatow has provided transcendent, exhilarating experiences at SXSW over and over starting with ​’Knocked Up​,’ then ​’Bridesmaids,’ ‘Trainwreck,’ ‘Girls​,’ ‘​The Big Sick​’ and ‘May It Last​. This year, it’s our particular privilege to present his deeply moving new feature ​’King of Staten Island,’ starring Pete Davidson leading a great ensemble, as our opening night film,” a declarat Janet Pierson, directorul de film al festivalului.

Festivalul de Film South by Southwest (SXSW) va avea loc intre 13 – 21 martie 2020.
