Hollywood star Chris Pine is set to make his directorial debut with a mystery-comedy film, titled ‘Poolman’.

According to PTI, the 41-year-old actor will also star in the movie along with veteran actors Annette Bening and Danny DeVito.

‘Poolman’is being touted as a cross between Jeff Bridges-starrer ‘The Big Lebowski’ and classic LA noir films, with a hint of Damian Chazelle’s ‘La La Land’.

Pine will play Darren Barrenman, a hapless dreamer and would-be philosopher who spends his days looking after the pool of the Tahitian Tiki apartment block in sunny Los Angeles and crashing city council meetings with his neighbours Jack (DeVito) and Diane (Bening).

Filmmaker Patty Jenkins, who worked with Pine on two ‘Wonder Woman’ films as well as the series ‘I Am the Night’, will serve as one of the producers on the project.

Pine has co-scripted with Ian Gotler who is a partner at the actor’s production banner Barry Linen Motion Pictures.
