Apple TV’s next film, The Dink, tells the comedic story of a star tennis player who gets injured and regretfully turns to pickleball. Here’s the trailer.
The Dink premieres on Apple TV next month, here’s the trailer
Apple TV’s next film is almost here, debuting exclusively on the streamer next month. And it looks like a fun time.
The Dink premieres on Friday, July 24 for all Apple TV subscribers.
The film stars Jake Johnson, Mary Steenburgen, Ed Harris, Patton Oswalt, Chloe Fineman, and more. It’s a strong cast of comedic players.
Ben Stiller even has a small role as Johnson’s doctor. But he also produced The Dink, and the trailer highlights the connection as being “From Dodgeball producer Ben Stiller.”
Today Apple released the trailer, which very much looks in line with classic sports comedies in the Dodgeball vein.
Here’s the plot summary, followed by the new trailer:
Washed up former tennis prodigy Dusty Boyd (Jake Johnson) has been reduced to coaching unruly children at his father Chuck’s (Ed Harris) suburban country club. Desperate for his father’s approval, Dusty blindly supports Chuck’s vendetta against the new craze taking over the club: pickleball. But when Dusty reaggravates an old injury, taking away his ability to play tennis, he resorts to the unthinkable in the name of rehab. He not only tries pickleball, but, thanks in part to his enchanting new partner, Candace (Mary Steenburgen), he finds himself actually enjoying it. Torn between two worlds, Dusty is forced to finally face the ghosts of his past athletic failures, including his childhood nemesis, Andy Roddick (Andy Roddick). Ultimately, Dusty is drawn into a desperate battle for the future of the club, his father’s affection and his very identity.
