Apple releases trailer for “The Dink,” starring Jake Johnson and Ben Stiller
Mary Steenburgen and Ed Harris join the comedy directed by Josh Greenbaum, which is set to debut on Apple TV next month.
Apple has released the trailer for “The Dink,” a new comedy film featuring Jake Johnson and Ben Stiller in leading roles, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter.
The film, directed by Josh Greenbaum, centers on pickleball, a sport that has increasingly entered mainstream pop culture over the last several years, and the trailer frames the movie as a comedic take on that trend.
Johnson and Stiller are joined in the cast by Mary Steenburgen and Ed Harris, the same report says, with Steenburgen and Harris appearing alongside the two actors in the promotional footage.
The Hollywood Reporter also said the movie is scheduled to arrive on Apple TV next month, placing the release on the streamer’s calendar for a specific upcoming window rather than a longer, open-ended launch timeline.
Greenbaum’s comedy is being marketed through Apple’s rollout of the trailer, a common strategy for studios and streamers to set audience expectations ahead of release while also gauging engagement for a title positioned for broad, family-friendly viewership.
While the trailer announcement does not provide additional details in the information available here, it identifies the principal on-screen talent, the director, and the platform and month of availability, all of which are key elements for viewers, exhibitors of related events, and industry teams planning their own marketing schedules.
Next, Apple and the film’s distributors are expected to issue additional promotional materials and press information closer to the Apple TV premiere date, as is typical for streaming releases as they near their launch window.
Why It Matters
- The trailer launch is the first major distribution step that indicates when audiences can expect the film on Apple’s platform.
- Featuring well-known mainstream comedy actors, the project is positioned for broad streaming reach rather than limited theatrical exposure.
- Because the release is scheduled for next month on Apple TV, the title becomes part of Apple’s near-term content pipeline and audience planning cycle.
- The identified cast and director provide clear points of reference for viewers and media coverage in the run-up to the premiere.
