Poolman Trailer: Chris Pine's Directorial Debut in a Raymond Chandler-Style Mystery 🎬

Chris Pine crafts a Raymond Chandler style mystery in his directorial debut.<br /><br />Darren Barrenman is a hapless dreamer and would-be philosopher who spends his days looking after the pool of the Tahitian Tiki in sunny Los Angeles and crashing city council meetings with his neighbours Jack and Diane. When Darren uncovers the greatest water heist in LA history since Chinatown, 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 – all in the name of protecting his precious Los Angeles, and his pool. Lovingly crafted as a tribute to Los Angeles, Poolman takes the pieces of LA Noirs like Chinatown and The Long Goodbye with the irreverence of The Big Lebowski and the affection of La La Land.<br /><br />Starring Chris Pine (Star Trek), Annette Bening (Nyad), Danny DeVito (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), DeWanda Wise (Jurassic World: Dominion) and Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight), Poolman is produced by Stacey Sher (Gattaca), Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman), Ian Gotler (Doula) and Pine and is directed by Pine from a script co-written with Gotler.<br /><br />Poolman streaming on Prime Video 28 June
