Overview
- A24 released the first trailer for Misty Green on July 22, 2026, announcing that Chris Rock wrote, directed and co-stars in the film while Rosalind Eleazar plays the title role.
- The studio has slated a Gala world premiere at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival and plans an October theatrical release with A24 handling distribution.
- The trailer frames Misty as a once-promising actress fighting for a second act and highlights themes of addiction, reputation damage from a past on‑set altercation, and fraught personal and professional ties.
- The cast includes Adam Driver, Daniel Kaluuya, Anna Kendrick and Topher Grace, and production credits list Peter Rice, James Lopez for Macro Film Studios, Tommy Oliver for Confluential Films, Charles D. King and Codie Elaine Oliver among producers and executive producers.
- Rock’s return to directing after 12 years since Top Five positions Misty Green as both a personal shift toward drama for Rock and a potential career-defining showcase for Eleazar that could shape awards-season attention.
