Daniel Kaluyya, Rosalind Eleazar, and Others Join Chris Rock in His A24 Directorial Debut

Chris Rock’s directorial debut at A24 is shaping up with an impressive cast that includes Daniel Kaluuya and others.

The currently untitled film will also feature Rosalind Eleazar in the lead role, alongside Rock, Anna Kendrick, and Adam Driver. Rock is also serving as the screenwriter.

Eleazar will portray a character named Misty Green, who is described by Deadline as “a gifted actress with a derailed career until someone from her past offers her a chance at a comeback.” That’s all that is known about the film at this time; details about the remaining cast’s characters are being kept under wraps.

Deadline reported on the film back in 2024 when it was associated with MACRO, Confluential, and Neon. At that time, it was described by sources as “a contemporary tale of Hollywood excess and inequality,” under the title Misty Greene.

The film follows Misty, “an undeniably talented actress, but her vices have derailed every attempt to revitalize her career. Her best opportunity in ages arrives in the form of Jordan (Rock), a film director who has the perfect role for her—were it not for their contentious past.”

It remains unclear when or why the transition from MACRO, Confluential, and Neon to A24 occurred.

Production is currently taking place in Los Angeles.

Rock will serve as a producer alongside Peter Rice and David Worthen Brooks. Executive producers include Nelson George, Shaum Sengupta, and Miles Alva.
