‘The Trashers’: Olivia DeJonge To Star Opposite David Harbour & Cooper Hoffman In Cooper Raiff’s Latest

EXCLUSIVE: Olivia DeJonge (Elvis) has been set as the female lead for The Trashers—the latest feature from Sundance prize-winning director Cooper Raiff (Cha Cha Real Smooth), which will have her starring alongside David Harbour and Cooper Hoffman.

The film will center on Hoffman’s character AJ—the teenage son of Connecticut trash magnate and Genovese crime family associate Jimmy Galante (Harbour). In 2004, Galante bought the city’s minor-league hockey team and assigned A.J. to run it. The two had bonded over their love for the game when A.J. played, with his crooked father hoping to hold onto their bond. The kid did well, watching the team gain notoriety for its rough and violent style of play but also developing a wide fan base as it started to win more and more games. The team’s success and fame all came to an abrupt end with Galante’s arrest on 72 criminal charges. He was ultimately indicted for defrauding the United Hockey League and bypassing the hard salary cap by putting his players and their wives into no-show jobs through his waste management business.
