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.
