Exclusive: Cooper Raiff is set to direct, and 30West to finance The Trashers, a drama based on the true story of a Connecticut-based businessman who bought the city’s minor-league hockey team in 2004 and assigned his teenage son to run it. The team’s unexpected rise ended when the teen’s father, Jimmy Galante, was arrested on 72 criminal charges. The hockey saga is profiled in an episode of Netflix’s new docuseries Untold.
Raiff, whose directorial debut Shithouse won the SXSW Grand Jury Prize for Best Narrative Feature (it’s much better than the title indicates), will direct from a script by Adam R. Perlman (Billions), with current revisions by Raiff. They’ll drop the puck on this one and start production in the first half of 2022.
Raiff is currently in production on PictureStart’s Cha Cha Real Smooth which he wrote, directs, and co-stars in alongside Dakota Johnson and Leslie Mann.
