Marisa Tomei will star opposite Pete Davidson in the Judd Apatow comedy. 

The still-untitled project for Universal hails from Apatow, founder of Apatow productions through which he developed a variety of television series including the acclaimed Girls.

Saturday Night Live star Davidson co-wrote the script with Apatow and Dave Sirus. While not much is known, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the feature is a coming-of-age comedy set in New York and is a semi-autobiographical story of Davidson growing up in Staten Island.

Tomei, who currently plays Aunt May in the Spider-Man movies, has been set to portray Davidson’s mother. Bel Powley and Bill Burr are also starring, however, their characters have yet to be revealed. 

The comedy is set to shoot this summer in New York City, and is scheduled for a June 19, 2020, release.
