David Harbour is set to star in the next film from “Cha Cha Real Smooth” filmmaker Cooper Raiff called “The Trashers,” which 30West is financing with filming hoping to kick off this fall.
“The Trashers” tells the true story of the rise and fall of Jimmy Galante (Harbour), a Danbury, Connecticut, trash magnate and the purported inspiration for the character of Tony Soprano. In 2004, Galante bought the city’s minor league hockey team and assigned his teenage son to run it. The team gained notoriety for their rough and violent style of play, but also developed a wide fan base as they started to win more and more games. The team’s success and fame all came to an abrupt end when Galante was arrested on 72 criminal charges.
“The Trashers” will be Raiff’s third feature after “S—house” and “Cha Cha Real Smooth,” which won the Audience Prize at this year’s Sundance and was acquired by Apple for $15 million. He’ll direct from a script by Adam R. Perlman (“Billions”) and Raiff’s own revisions.
