Dito Montiel’s crime comedy movie Riff Raff will soon start filming in New Jersey, and its cast is expanding by the day. Pete Davidson and Ed Harris are the latest cast members to join Jennifer Coolidge and Dustin Hoffman in this star-studded project.

Riff Raff follows a former criminal, whose ordinary life is thrown upside down when his family shows up for a long-awaited reckoning. Dito Montiel is directing the film, while John Pollono wrote the script. Signature Films and Canopy Media Partners are producing the project in collaboration with FirstGen Content.

When this crime comedy was initially announced, the Emmy winner Jennifer Coolidge (The White Lotus), Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman (The Meyerowitz Stories), and Gabrielle Union (Bring It On) were confirmed as its leads.

The ensemble expanded before the production kicks off in New Jersey, and it now includes Pete Davidson (Saturday Night Live), Ed Harris (Westworld), Lewis Pullman (Top Gun: Maverick), and Miles J. Harvey (American Vandal), along with Emanuela Postacchini (Robots) and Michael Angelo Covino (The Climb).

The SNL alum Davidson most recently appeared in Craig Gillespie’s Dumb Money, and we’ll next see him in Wizards! Ed Harris will next appear in Love Lies Bleeding alongside Kristen Stewart and Dave Franco. Pullman starred alongside Brie Larson in Lessons in Chemistry this fall, while Harvey played a supporting role in One Of Us Is Lying.
