New Pickleball Comedy 'The Dink' Announced

The upcoming independent comedy film "The Dink" has garnered attention with its star-studded and diverse cast, including Chloe Fineman, Patton Oswalt, John McEnroe, and others, alongside previously announced stars like Jake Johnson and Ben Stiller. The film follows a washed-up tennis pro who must break a personal vow and embrace pickleball to save a struggling sports club and earn his father's respect. Directed by Josh Greenbaum and written by Sean Clements, production has recently begun in Los Angeles, with Rivulet Films fully financing the project. Technical consultants Brad and Kim Gilbert will ensure authenticity regarding the athletic elements of the film. The collaboration marks a reunion for Stiller and Rivulet after their recent project "Nutcrackers," set to premiere on Hulu and Disney+ on November 29. Expectations are high for this whimsical film, given the impressive comedic talent involved and the unique premise centered around the growing sport of pickleball.
