Rivulet Films, Rough House Pictures and Red Hour Films announced that Linda Cardellini (“Dead to Me”), Edi Patterson (“The Righteous Gemstones,” Knives Out), Tim Heidecker (Us) and Toby Huss (“Dickinson”) have joined Ben Stiller in David Gordon Green’s Nutcrackers. The film is based on a script by Leland Douglas and was developed by Rough House Pictures. Rivulet Films’ Rob Paris and Mike Witherill, Red Hour Films’ Ben Stiller and John Lesher, and Rough House Pictures’ Nate Meyer are producing. Rivulet fully financed the film, which recently wrapped production outside of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Nutcrackers follows the work-obsessed Mike (Stiller), who must reluctantly travel to rural Ohio to look after his four rambunctious nephews after their parents die in a car accident. After run-ins with the local deputy (Heidecker) and misguided attempts to unload the boys on an orphan profiteer (Patterson) and an eccentric empty-nester millionaire (Huss), Mike becomes smitten with social worker Gretchen (Cardellini) who helps him on his journey to find a home for the boys.
