The Dink: Ben Stiller Film On Tension Between Tennis Players And Pickleball Players

[marc45]

Ben Stiller is working on a film (safe to say it's a comedy) on the battle between tennis and pickleball

was on Fallon last night talking about it...said this country is clearly divided, we're in a war against ourselves, and it is the war between tennis and pickleball

first heard about it on Served, Andy Roddick's podcast...Andy is in it, and doing most of his scenes so far with Ed Harris!...apparently plays a db...Mary Steenburgen is in it too...not sure if Ben is

would assume it's out next year some time

here's a Hollywood Reporter article on it from a few months ago...

Ben Stiller to Produce, Act in Pickleball Comedy ‘The Dink’

The 'Zoolander' star will have a supporting role, as Jake Johnson, Mary Steenburgen, Ed Harris are set as leads, with Josh Greenbaum directing.

LOL. Ben Stiller first has to see a psychiatrist for Trump Derangement Syndrome.
