American actor Chris Pine will star in, direct, and produce the mystery-comedy movie “Poolman".

Pine will play Darren Barrenman, a hapless dreamer who uncovers a larger-than-life corruption plot that, at best, may put his life in danger.

Annette Being and Danny DeVito will also star in the movie.

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

The "Wonder Woman" actor is set to produce the movie alongside Stacey Sher for Shiny Penny Productions, Patty Jenkins for Wicious Pictures, and Gotler.

“Poolman” marks the "Star Trek" actor's feature directorial debut.
