Ben Stiller has made a move to appear in his first movie in six years by joining the cast of David Gordon Green’s ‘Nutcrackers.’
The feature centres around a workaholic named Mike (played by Stiller) who is forced to travel to rural Ohio to take care of his four energetic nephews after their parents die in a car accident. Initially, Mike intends to stay for only three days to find a foster home for his nephews. However, as he spends more time on the farm, he realizes that he doesn’t need to find them a new home because they have already found one with him. The ensuing weeks are filled with chaos and mayhem as Mike adjusts to his new role as a caregiver.

Other producers on the project include Rob Paris and Mike Witherill from Rivulet, John Lesher for Red Hour, and Nate Meyer from Rough House.
Stiller starred in ‘Brad’s Status’ and ‘The Meyerowitz Stories’. Both films were released in 2017.
