"Wait for me! Before you two start hitting each other." Lionsgate has debuted a second official trailer for the crime comedy film Riff Raff, which already opened in theaters last month. Not to be mixed up with the 1935 classic with Spencer Tracy. It's a new film from New Yorker filmmaker Dito Montiel - currently only has a 59% on Rt for better or worse. It first premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival last year and will be out on VOD this week (first trailer here). One-time criminal Vince turned his life around when he fell in love with Sandy. Nearly 20 years later, the still-happy couple are looking forward to spending a quiet New Year’s Eve with their son. But then Vince's other son, Rocco, shows up with his pregnant girlfriend, Marina, along with Vince's first wife, Ruth, in tow. It is not a happy reunion... Ruth is rude & lewd, while Rocco is clearly hiding something.

It feels like the star-studded crime drama or comedy doesn’t really happen if it’s made for less than $10 million dollars. But “Riff Raff,” the new comedy from director Dito Montiel (“A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints”), appears to be the exception.
The film’s super-stacked cast includes Jennifer Coolidge, Ed Harris, Gabrielle Union, Lewis Pullman, Miles J. Harvey, Emanuela Postacchini, Michael Angelo Covino, Pete Davidson, and Bill Murray.

Over three decades after the release of the classic film Groundhog Day, actor Bill Murray has opened up about a memorable on-set incident involving his furry co-star.
During a recent appearance on First We Feast's "Hot Ones" to promote his exciting new movie Riff Raff, Murray showcased a scar on his finger, attributing it to bites from the groundhog during filming. "I'm not flipping you off, but that right there, that nodule there, that's from the groundhog," Murray explained, displaying his middle finger. "He got me back to back, two days in a row. And the second day, I thought I was being smart, and I put some fisherman's gloves, like steel gloves on, underneath the gloves I was wearing. His teeth went right through the steel."
This revelation sheds light on the challenges faced during the production of the 1993 classic comedy, where Murray portrayed Phil Connors, a cynical and...

Bill Murray deadpanned his way through the Wings of Death and three interruptions — two from his own phone’s alarms and one from fellow “Saturday Night Live” alum Pete Davidson — on Thursday’s edition of “Hot Ones.”
The saucy interview’s first interruption came while Murray was in the midst of answering a question about the difficulty of making audiences laugh versus making them cry when his phone started loudly blaring. “Is that your phone?” host Sean Evans asked, to which Murray dryly responded, “Yeah, I set an alarm for myself to remember to try to show up for the show.”
Silencing the noise, Murray added, “I’m not crazy about that alarm. It’s the best one they have. I had a BlackBerry that had a much nicer alarm; very beautiful, very elegant way to wake up in the morning. It almost felt like you were being lifted up.

Bill Murray’s deadpan remains undefeated — even by the worst First We Feast’s Hot Ones had to offer. The pop culture legend appeared on the YouTube hot-wings-eating talk show hosted by Sean Evans to discuss his new movie Riff Raff, and seemed to enjoy it immensely. He certainly fared better than his Riff Raff co-star Pete Davidson, who pops by at the end of the episode for a quick cameo — only to immediately start suffering.
Right at the start, Murray explains that he’s not afraid of the spice levels at Chinese or Mexican restaurants, and at one point points out that he thinks “sriracha is cheating.” While working their way through the usual lineup of chicken, Murray calmly answers Evans’ questions about the movie he thought was his best work (the Jim Jarmusch movie Flowers) and his old garage band (The Dutch Masters). Murray also confirms several rumors,...

There’s nothing quite like a dark comedy to get the blood pumping. Add in some unique performances from all-time greats like Bill Murray and Ed Harris and you’ve got the makings for a very interesting time at the movies. Riff Raff is a story of family, consequences, and whether people truly change. I didn’t love the film (you can check out my review Here) but it certainly has some performances that stand out. Whether it’s Bill Murray being a bad guy or Pete Davidson as his muscle, there are plenty of “against type” performances her that give it a unique identity.
I was fortunate enough to chat with Jennifer Coolidge and Gabrielle Union about the film, and it truly sounded like a unique experience. Jennifer broke down how often people approach her for roles they deem “perfect for her” only for her to not see where she fit in.

Bill Murray ‘Wept Three Times’ During ‘SNL50’: ‘It Was Surprisingly Emotional’ and ‘I Couldn’t Stop’
Bill Murray has revealed that he got “surprisingly emotional” during “SNL50” last month, crying several times throughout the anniversary special.
During an appearance on SiriusXM’s “Sway in the Morning” (via Entertainment Weekly), the legendary comedian told host Sway Calloway that he couldn’t hold back his tears when he wasn’t on screen. “It was surprisingly emotional,” he sad. “I wept three times in the show. It really got to me.”
Murray said he wept because “obviously, there’s a lot of video and history that they’re showing and I didn’t see it coming.” Watching a clip of late cast member Gilda Radner alongside friend Steve Martin particularly affected him.
“There was Gilda [Radner] up there dancing with Steve Martin and I remember being there, watching them rehearse that dance number for days and days and days. I love Gilda, I was crazy about Gilda. And I sort of came apart,...

Jennifer Coolidgewas eager to try something different after her acclaimed time on The White Lotus. The role of Tanya, however, worked in her favor for Riff Raff, her new star-studded film. Director Dito Montiel fell in love with The White Lotus and Coolidge’s portrayal of Tanya. So much so that he wanted the actress to come aboard his new dark comedy. “I think he did say he wanted me to do it because he saw The White Lotus and said, ‘I know that lady,' or whatever," Coolidge told MovieWeb in a recent interview. “But hopefully, I did something different [from Tanya] because I didn't see that much of a similarity in the two characters.”

Jennifer Coolidge wants to see more "small" movies being made.The 63-year-old actress made her name when she starred as Stifler's Mom in 'American Pie' and then appeared in now-classics like 'Legally Blonde' but as she takes on the role of the ex-wife of a criminal in 'Riff Raff', insisted that there should be more films with a limited amount of cast members.She told ScreenRant: "I hope there are more of these kinds of films. I just hope there's more of this, it's a small film. There are only a few people in the f****** film. There are only a few people in the film but it's such a small, compact, amazing story, and John Pollono's writing...it's all like watching an orchestra piece, it all works for some reason."The 'White Lotus' star - who appears alongside the likes of...

There were two new movies to hit theaters this weekend — Last Breath and Riff Raff — and while both feature their fair share of star power, one performed much worse than the other. Riff Raff, which stars Jennifer Coolidge alongside Ed Harris and Bill Murray, opened with less than $1 million at the box office this weekend, finishing with only $901,000. Riff Raff was only playing on 1,004 screens, but this is still a per-theater total of $897, the second-lowest of any movie in the top 15 this weekend except Heart Eyes. Riff Raff was written by John Pollono and directed by Dito Montiel, and the film earned a 56% from critics and a 55% from general audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.

Dog Man's Pete Davidson and The White Lotus' Jennifer Coolidge may come from very different corners of the entertainment world, but their time together on the movieRiff Raff resulted in a memorable collaboration.
According to THR, Davidson, known for his sharp comedic style on Saturday Night Live and his offbeat roles in films like The King of Staten Island, had a unique way of describing his co-star. Meanwhile, Coolidge, an Emmy-winning actress celebrated for her work in The White Lotus and American Pie, had her own unexpected observations about Davidson’s personality. As both actors reflect on their time filming, their comments offer insight into the dynamic between two of Hollywood’s most distinct personalities.

Sept. 29, 2006 forever changed Dito Montiel and Robert Downey Jr.’s lives.
It was not only the day that Downey was officially cast as Tony Stark in Jon Favreau’s Iron Man, but it was also the theatrical release date of Montiel’s debut indie drama A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, starring Downey as a semi-autobiographical version of Montiel. The day cemented Downey’s return to industry prominence after a series of highly publicized personal struggles, and the random fall Friday had just as much meaning for Montiel after many of his own storybook ups and agonizing downs.
As a native of Queens in New York City, Montiel was something of a renaissance man before becoming a filmmaker. In the ’80s, he was a mainstay in NYC’s hardcore punk scene as the teenage frontman of Major Conflict. In 1989, his new band, Gutterboy, signed a then-record $1 million deal with Geffen Records.

Jennifer Coolidge and Pete Davidson are both one of a kind.
The Emmy-winning actress recently recalled to People magazine the moment she realized her Riff Raff co-star was “one of the most unpredictable people” she has ever met.
While filming the crime comedy, currently playing in theaters, in “the middle of winter,” Coolidge said the cast and crew were “immediately thrust” into small spaces together as they attempted to escape the frigid temperatures.
“I remember one day it was freezing … and I was in the house [where we filmed], and then this Rolls-Royce pulls up. And I was like, ‘Who’s that? It must be the owner of the house, right?'” The White Lotus star recounted. “And then it’s Pete Davidson in his Rolls-Royce. That car didn’t quite go with the neighborhood or any of the experience. But then I thought, ‘He’s doing his own thing.’ I was never as interesting as that,...

Jennifer Coolidge has portrayed dozens of roles over the course of her acting career, but she can still remember the unpleasant experience of one of her earliest performances. This goes back to a play she took on as a child, but the bait-and-switch she was given with her role left her feeling frustrated.
Coolidge discussed the situation during a new interview with Grae Drake of Cbr to promote her newest movie, Riff Raff, which is now in theaters. When asked if she had any stage play experience as a child, Coolidge was instantly reminded of the time she was cast for a role in a rendition of The Wizard of Oz. She went for the lead role of Dorothy, feeling very confident about her audition, though she also read for the secondary character of Auntie Em. Coolidge admits she was then let down when the production cast her as Auntie Em instead of Dorothy.

There’s nothing quite as fun as a biting black comedy, and the best ones will have you laughing out loud one minute, and cringing in your seat the next. Riff Raff is one such story, taking a messy, blended family affair and kicking it up a notch with a healthy dose of mayhem and murder. When reformed criminal Vincent's (Ed Harris) past comes back to haunt him, a quiet trip to the cabin with his wife (Gabrielle Union) and son (Miles J. Harvey) turns into a violent reunion with estranged family members and trigger-happy criminals. Featuring sidesplitting performances from its stacked cast and some gnarly, shocking twists, Dito Montiel's Riff Raff is as fun as it is jaw-dropping, and will keep you entranced (and at times mildly disturbed), for its entire wacky runtime.

Jennifer Coolidge stole the show in The White Lotus Season 1 as Tanya McQuoid. Her character was so popular that she returned for Season 2 as the show moved from Hawai'i to Italy. Tanya's story would end there as she met an untimely death. However, Tanya's new husband Greg (Jon Gries) was untrustworthy and, in Season 2, it was insinuated that he had been planning her murder so he could inherit her property. He seemed to have won but in Season 3, viewers were surprised that he'd moved to Thailand. Coolidge has moved on to other projects, but is she watching the season her character is not part of? "Yes, I am," she told Forbes while discussing her new comedy film, Riff Raff. "And I’m envious as hell." Coolidge was surprised Greg was back and she shared her thoughts on the season, saying:...

Riff Raff Review — Jennifer Coolidge, Pete Davidson, and More Phone It in for This Uninspired Comedy
The term “riff-raff” refers to “disreputable or undesirable people,” according to the Oxford Dictionary, and Ditto Montiel’s latest film cannot be accused of false advertising. Although characters you love to hate are certainly in right now — just see Succession or The White Lotus — Riff Raff’s attempts to be satirical in this way fail miserably, resulting in a movie that is dull and difficult to connect with.
Riff Raff Review
Riff Raff follows a former criminal whose now idyllic life is thrown askew when his estranged son shows up carrying a dark secret that makes this family reunion anything but happy. Although a low-concept crime comedy with an A-list cast like this sounds like an exciting prospect, the truth is that this potential is incredibly wasted.

According to Bill Murray, his reputation for on-set prickliness is simply the result of his remarkable work ethic, which means that he could have just been method acting as a pervert on that Aziz Ansari movie.
At 74 years old, the Saturday Night Live legend and comedy icon has a complicated legacy in the eyes of a general public that once universally adored him. While humor fans of past eras couldn’t conceive of Dr. Peter Venkman ever being anything besides a consummate comedy professional on-set, we have since learned from Murray’s female co-stars and female staffers on his films that Murray’s explosive temper and his extreme touchiness made him the living nightmare of many women in the entertainment business.

Universal Pictures has debuted a teaser trailer for the highly anticipated sequel ‘M3gan 2.0.
Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN’s creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules.
Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defence contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia, the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia’s self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around.
With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN and give her a few upgrades,...

There’s something embarrassing about being hunted down by a gangster who calls himself Leftie and runs around with a henchman called Lonnie. Those names should belong to the sweet old guys at the local nursing home. Instead, in the trailer for the action-comedy Riff Raff, they belong to Bill Murray and Pete Davidson, a gun-wielding duo out for revenge.
“You know, once you start killing, it sort of becomes your de facto solution for every problem,” Leftie (Murray) says in the clip. Killing is what kicked off this whole ordeal in the first place.

"Wait for me – before you two start hitting each other." Lionsgate has unveiled the first official trailer for a crime comedy called Riff Raff, the latest film directed by New Yorker filmmaker Dito Montiel. Not to be confused with the 1935 classic with Spencer Tracy. This first premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival last year, and will be out in theaters in February. One-time criminal Vince turned his life around when he fell in love with Sandy. Nearly 20 years later, the still-happy couple are looking forward to spending a quiet New Year’s Eve with their son. But then Vince's other son, Rocco, shows up unannounced with his pregnant girlfriend, Marina, and Vince's first wife, Ruth, in tow. It is not a happy reunion.

Bill Murray concedes he hasn’t been proactive about finding work as an actor. The “Groundhog Day” and “Lost in Translation” star has appeared in just a few independent films, such as 2024’s ensemble crime comedy “Riff Raff” and Naomi Watts-led drama “The Friend,” in recent years.
“I’ve been lazy,” Murray said at Sundance Film Festival during a fireside chat on Sunday with critic Elvis Mitchell at the Elvis Suite. “I don’t have an agent anymore, so I’m not the first person people think of to be in studio movies.”
However, Murray, who reprised roles in 2023’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and last year’s “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” has a renewed desire to get back in front of the camera.
“Only in this last year, doing these [indie movies], has reawakened me about searching for material,” he said. “I’ve lived the life of a bass… waiting...

Two years after his exit from Saturday Night Live, Pete Davidson is getting back in touch with himself without the distraction of the spotlight.
The comedian, who was a cast member on SNL from 2014 to 2022, explained why he’s taken a step back from the public eye in recent years after the media “chose to go after” him amid his series of high-profile relationships.
“Luckily, I got hit on the face with the Hollywood shovel,” he told W. “It was a long time coming, and I needed it. I’m very happy where I am right now, mentally.”
Davidson added, “I just want to be known for doing good work. I want to be out there only when it’s movie, stand-up, charity, or business ventures. That’s when I want to be seen. I don’t want to be this f—ing loser who just dates people. That’s not who I am.
