In 2022, anybody with experience, skill, heart, and integrity could possibly fill the bill. Even if they are an eccentric man boy who inadvertently tosses an emotional wrench into your relationship. Welcome to <strong><em>Doula<\/em><\/strong>, the new slice-of-life comedy from actor-turned-producer <strong>Chris Pine<\/strong>. That\u2019s right, the <em>Star Trek <\/em>and<em> Wonder Woman <\/em>alum ventures behind the camera and wears the producer\u2019s hat alongside frequent collaborator Ian Gotler (<em>All The Old Knives<\/em>). Together, their Barry Linen Motion Pictures enterprise has given birth to a timely story for today\u2019s modern audiences.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><\/p>\n<div class=\"adsninja-ad-zone\" id=\"adsninja-ad-zone-MW-Reg-Org\">\n<div id=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone\">\n<div class=\"ad-current\">\n<div id=\"ad-zone-container-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"ad-zone-container ad-zone-container-content-character-count-repeatable-1\" data-no-fill-collapsable=\"false\"><strong class=\"ad-zone-advertising-tag\">MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #1! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: below first paragraph! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: mid intro! --><br \/>\n\u201cI think we made a truly unique film,\u201d Pine says. \u201cPerhaps an odd film, and I say that in the best way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without a doubt, <em>Doula <\/em>is as quirky as it is charming. After dating for several months, thirtysomethings Deb (Troian Bellisario of <em>Pretty Little Liars<\/em>) and Silvio (Arron Shiver of <em>Boardwalk Empire<\/em>) are expecting their first child. Then their elderly midwife, Penka dies \u2014 mid-meditation, in fact, which, if you\u2019re going to go, may be one of the best ways. Freaked, Silvio acts on impulse and hires Penka\u2019s son, Sascha (Will Greenberg), to take over as the couple\u2019s live-in doula. Surprised that Silvio didn\u2019t consult her, Deb resists at first, but Sascha\u2019s unconventional lifestyle captures her attention and the two grow closer. As the pregnancy nears its inevitable end<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>, Silvio feels like the odd man out and wonders if he should force Deb to choose between him and Sascha?<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #2! --><br \/>\n\u201cThe film depicts pregnancy and two people becoming parents in a way I&#8217;ve never seen depicted before,\u201d Pine notes. \u201cAnd I think that really important.\u201d<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: native in content! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-great-backstory\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Great_Backstory\"><\/span> A Great Backstory<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The genesis of the project began with Gotler, Pine\u2019s good friend and creative partner. Gotler wanted to produce a project, so he encouraged Pine to lean into that realm of filmmaking, too. \u201cI had no interest in doing it, but Ian came back with a bunch of incredible material,\u201d Pine says. Coincidentally, Pine\u2019s close friends (Shiver, Bellisario, Greenberg, director Cheryl Nichols) \u2014 folks he\u2019d known for more than 20 years and all creators in their own right \u2014 were contemplating projects, too. \u201cArron brought me <em>Doula <\/em>and it was one of the first things I read that he wrote. The idea was to have Cheryl direct it, which I loved. I im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely thought of Will and Troian, and the whole thing coalesced quite naturally. Filmmaking is so hard. It takes a lot of time and it&#8217;s obviously a passion-filled endeavor with obstacles you must overcome mostly by sheer will. So, if you&#8217;re going to spend time with people, you may as well enjoy being around them during filming.\u201d<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --><br \/>\nAt the time, Pine was on location shooting another project, so much of the creative process initially h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened via Zoom. When shooting began, Pine appreciated knowing that his good friends were making the film together. He\u2019d arrive on location much later to shoot several scenes \u2014 his take on a cheery, absent-minded doc stands out, in fact. \u201cI loved knowing that during quarantine, when things were so difficult, that we were all making a piece of art. And being able to make it with your friends was a joyous adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shiver finished the script back in 2019, springboarding off an idea about his own experiences with alternative birthing professionals \u2014 his son was born at home. He tossed around the idea of a male doula, a rare thing in doula circles, and the story filled out from there.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #4! --><br \/>\nAnother interesting aspect about the production was that Bellisario was herself pregnant during the shoot. \u201cIt was just the bizarre timing of it,\u201d she says. \u201cI was only four months pregnant and I wore a \u2018belly\u2019 over my constantly expanding belly. So, over the course of the film, as I continued to expand and eat more, they had to carve out the inside of my pregnancy belly so that I could comfortably fit inside of it. When we came back a few months later, I was eight-and-a-half months pregnant. It was time to shoot some scenes with Chris and finish up the movie. At that point, I didn&#8217;t need the \u201cbelly\u201d anymore.\u201d Chuckling, she adds, \u201cSo really, these guys were just cheap and wanted to hire somebody who didn&#8217;t need a real prosthetic.\u201d<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #5! --><br \/>\n<span class=\"related-single\">Related: Exclusive: Chris Pine Says New Film The Contractor Subverts Audience Expectations<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"power-of-pine\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Power_of_Pine\"><\/span> Power of Pine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img expandable img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.5%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Doula2022.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;Barry Linen Motion Pictures&quot;\">\n<figure> <picture> <!--[if IE 9]> <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Doula2022.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Doula2022.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Doula2022.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Doula2022.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><img width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Doula2022\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Doula2022.jpg\"\/> <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Barry Linen Motion Pictures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>To be sure, Pine is one of Hollywood\u2019s most sought-after talents. He can morph into comedic roles, like <em>Doula<\/em>, as smoothly as dramatic ones. Blockbuster franchises aside, Pine\u2019s performances are realistic (<em>People Like Us, The Contractor, Hell or High Water<\/em>), even when he\u2019s asked to play things over the top (<em>This Means War, Into The Woods<\/em>). <em>Doula <\/em>is just one new project of several that place Pine behind the scenes. Earlier this year, he and Gotler shared producing credits in Amazon\u2019s <em>All the Old Knives<\/em>. He also serves as an executive producer on Hulu\u2019s hit limited <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>, <em>I Am the Night.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>How does he choose his projects? Nearly a decade ago, when I interviewed Pine for <em>People Like Us<\/em>, he admitted that he pays attention to synchronicities and \u201cserendipity&#8221; \u2014 those seemingly random life moments that may holder deeper meaning. In conversation, Pine&#8217;s depth shines though \u2014 he comes across as present and humble. In a recent interview about his career choices, he told <em>Metro UK,<\/em> \u201cI\u2019m led by curiosity, so my job affords me this great opportunity to just follow my inner compass to what I\u2019m feeling and grooving on.\u201d<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #6! --><br \/>\nUp next for Pine? The buzz keeps building for that hard-to-creatively pin down <em>Star Trek <\/em>sequel, but you can catch Pine in next year\u2019s highly anticipated <em>Dungeons &amp; Dragons<\/em> film. And while everything\u2019s been tightlipped about <em><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>flash<\/em>, in which Pine reportedly plays broadcast icon Walter Cronkite covering the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on live television, curiosity surrounding the project keeps growing. He also stars in Olivia Wilde\u2019s fall drama, <em>Don\u2019t Worry Darling<\/em> alongside Florence Pugh. And for the indie comedy <em>Poolman,<\/em> Pine took on director\u2019s duties in a tale about a befuddled pool technician.<\/p>\n<p>As for <em>Doula, <\/em>the star is optimistic that today\u2019s streaming audiences will embrace the heartwarming tale. \u201cI loved having a viewpoint, a perspective, and a voice both behind and in front of the camera, and on the page that is not \u2018straight\u2019 ahead,\u201d Pine says. \u201cIt\u2019s unique. This is \u2018filmmaking\u2019 and good art in my book. I really love the filmmakers behind this \u2014 the artists behind the artists stand out, and the way the subject matter is told is appealing.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #7! --><br \/>\n\u201cI mean, here\u2019s a serious subject with all the absurdity of life,\u201d he adds, \u201cand I think right now, given everything that&#8217;s happening \u2014 and happened over the last two years [with the pandemic] \u2014 I love the idea of putting out a message that\u2019s all about love and family connection; imperfect people dealing with the trials and tribulations of this life and how hard that can be. But at the end of the day, being able to have a laugh and giggle along the way. We all need that.\u201d<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n<em>Doula <\/em>is available on Digital and On Demand, beginning Tuesday, June 28.\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
