Annette Being and Danny DeVito are set to star in Chris Pine’s mystery-comedy directorial debut “Poolman” for AGC Studios.
Pine will star as Darren Barrenman, a hapless dreamer who spends his days maintaining the pool of a Tiki-themed L.A. apartment block and crashing city council meetings with his neighbors (DeVito, Bening).
When Barrenman uncovers the greatest water heist in LA history, he makes uneasy alliances with a beautiful and connected femme fatale while following every lead he can with corrupt city officials, burned-out Hollywood types, and mysterious benefactors.
Pine, Stacey Sher, Patty Jenkins and Ian Gotler will produce. Pine and Gotler co-wrote the script which is dubbed “Big Lebowski meets Chinatown with a splash of La La Land”. Filming aims to begin in June in Los Angeles.
