Chris Rock’s Misty Green: A24 Releases Trailer for Dark Hollywood Drama

A TIFF gala premiere and A24’s distribution plan position the film for awards-season attention.

Overview

  • A24 released the first trailer Wednesday, confirming that Chris Rock wrote, directed and co-stars in the feature titled Misty Green.
  • The trailer and official synopsis present an L.A.-set drama about an Emmy-winning actress, played by Rosalind Eleazar, fighting to revive a stalled career.
  • The film’s supporting cast includes Adam Driver, Daniel Kaluuya, Anna Kendrick and Topher Grace, and the trailer hints at tense family and industry dynamics without revealing plot outcomes.
  • Misty Green will world-premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September as a Gala presentation, after which A24 plans a theatrical rollout and awards-season positioning.
  • Rock’s return to directing for his fourth feature shifts to a darker, more emotional tone than his earlier comedies and gives Eleazar a major showcase that could broaden her profile.
