Deadline is exclusively reporting that Olivia DeJonge is the latest name to join the cast for Cooper Raiff’s next film The Trashers.

Based on a true-story, the film will chart the rise and fall of Jimmy Galante, a Connecticut trash magnate and associate of the Genovese crime family. In 2004, Galante bought the city’s minor-league hockey team and assigned his teenage son, A.J, 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 with Galante’s arrest on seventy-two criminal charges.
