Saturday Night Live's Pete Davidson is set to play Joey Ramone in an upcoming biopic about the late Ramones singer.
I Slept With Joey Ramone is being developed and produced by Netflix and STXfilms, and will feature the Saturday Night Live / King Of Staten Island star taking the lead role, and Jason Orley directing and writing alongside Pete.
Adam Fogelson, Chairman STXfilms Motion Picture Group, says, "When you share a bed with someone – and not just a bed, but a childhood, a family, and a lifetime – you know that person better than anybody else. Mickey Leigh not only collaborated with his big brother’s band – he has irreplaceable memories of and insights into Joey Ramone, having supported him when no-one else would and witnessed him overcome adversity in the most dramatic way.
