STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Pete Davidson<\/a> is swapping horror for heart eyes in his next big-screen role.<\/p>\n

The Staten Island native is set to star opposite British actress Ella Purnell (\u201cFallout\u201d) in \u201cThat Time We Met,\u201d a new romantic comedy directed by filmmaker Nick Lieberman (\u201cTheater Camp\u201d).<\/p>\n

The film follows a new couple who find out their unborn child is destined to save humanity \u2014 right after realizing they can\u2019t stand each other.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a wild premise for Davidson, who has been steadily building out his acting resume with everything from indie dramas to thrillers. Earlier this year, he headlined the horror film \u201cThe Home<\/a>,\u201d reuniting with fellow Staten Islander James DeMonaco, best known for creating \u201cThe Purge\u201d franchise. He also starred alongside Eddie Murphy in the action comedy \u201cThe Pickup<\/a>,\u201d which hit theaters in August. <\/p>\n

Production of this upcoming film will be handled by an experienced team, including Matt Jackson and Joanne Lee of Jackson Pictures (\u201cMolly\u2019s Game\u201d), Marc Platt Productions (\u201cWicked: For Good\u201d), and Gramercy Park Media (\u201cGoodrich\u201d), led by producers Ford Corbett and Nathan Klingher. Gramercy\u2019s Joshua Harris and Mark Fasano will serve as executive producers.<\/p>\n

Davidson is also set to appear in \u201cHow to Rob a Bank,\u201d directed by \u201cBullet Train\u201d filmmaker David Leitch, which is slated for release next fall through Amazon MGM Studios. <\/p>\n

No release date for \u201cThat Time We Met\u201d has been announced yet, but WME Independent will launch sales on the project at the American Film Market next week.<\/p>\n
