A24 A24 has released the trailer for “Misty Green,” a new Hollywood drama written and directed by Chris Rock.
The film’s logline reads, “Years after her Hollywood breakthrough, a talented actress whose career has stalled fights for her second act.” Rosalind Eleazar stars in the titular role, leading a cast of Rock, Adam Driver, Daniel Kaluuya, Anna Kendrick and Topher Grace.
In the rapid-fire trailer, we see Misty’s agent, played by Grace, tell her, “I get it, it’s tough out there. I don’t even know if I can get you on ‘Law and Order’ right now.” In the next scene, Rock’s character, a filmmaker, tells her, “The last time I cast you, you punched this bitch in the face.” We later see Misty trying to justify her loose lifestyle to a friend, played by Kendrick. She tells her, “I wake up when I wanna wake up. I sleep when I wanna sleep. I get high when I wanna get high, and I fuck when I wanna fuck.” Kendrick’s character then quips back, “I didn’t know you were a Lil Wayne song, that’s so cool.”
