Neon Films announced that Chris Rock will direct and star in the feature film Misty Green. Additional casting is currently underway for the film.
Misty Green is based on an original script from Rock, and “centers on a talented actress whose career has been stifled by her vices. Things change when a director (Rock) offers her a tailor-made part that could finally revitalize her path, although the situation is complicated by their turbulent past.”
Rock previously wrote and directed such previous features including Head of State (2003), I Think I Love My Wife (2007) and Top Five (2014). His recent projects include his 2023 Netflix special Chris Rock: Selective Outrage, in which he addressed getting slapped by Will Smith at the Oscars.
