‘Misty Green’: Watch trailer for new A24 film by director Chris Rock

Rosalind Eleazar stars in ‘Misty Green.’ (A24)

The trailer for Chris Rock’s film Misty Green has arrived.

A24 has released the trailer for the upcoming drama film that was written and directed by Rock. Rosalind Eleazar stars as the titular actress Misty Green in the movie.

“Years after her Hollywood breakthrough, a talented actress whose career has stalled fights for her second act,” according to the film’s official description.

The movie also stars Rock, Adam Driver, Daniel Kaluuya, Anna Kendrick and Topher Grace.

Its trailer finds Misty in search of an acting job despite opportunities being few and far between.

“You’re not exactly an unknown, Misty,” Grace’s character tells her. He then says Hollywood is a little racist, it’s a little sexist, “But don’t act like you never had a shot.”

Rock most recently directed the film Top Five, which was released in 2014. He wrote and starred in the movie, which also starred J. B. Smoove, Kevin Hart, Sherri Shepherd, Michael Che, Tracy Morgan, Jay Pharoah, Leslie Jones, Cedric the Entertainer, Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler and Whoopi Goldberg.

His other directorial efforts include 2007’s I Think I Love My Wife and 2003’s Head of State. He also starred in both of those films.

Misty Green will be released in theaters this October. It is set to debut at the 2026 Toronto Film Festival.

By CNN
Click here for updates on this story    KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KMBC) -- Tensions boiled over at the Kansas City Finance Committee Meeting Tuesday as the public met with city officials to discuss public financing of the new Kansas City Royals downtown ballpark.Members of the public were each given two minutes to speak while the committee discussed an ordinance that, if passed, would authorize the City Manager to execute a lease, non-relocation agreement, community impact partnership agreement, and funding agreement with the Kansas City Royals for the proposed stadium near Crown Center.During the meeting, individuals with the group Stand Up KC, part of Missouri Workers Power, were seen standing in the committee room in protest of the public financing portion of the agreement.Video shows one individual in a red shirt shout comments about justice during the meeting. When security intervened and attempted to escort the individual out of the room, a struggle ensued.That struggle continued into the hallway outside of the city council chamber. KMBC 9 News Reporter Krista Tatschl watched as the individual was wrestled to the ground and placed into handcuffs.Kansas City, Missouri, Mayor Quinton Lucas exited the chambers during the struggle. Krista Tatschl caught up with him in the hallway. He told KMBC 9 News that he hoped public comment could continue and that cooler heads could prevail.This is not the first time tempers have flared at a meeting discussing the new Kansas City Royals stadium. A meeting in July ended early after repeated disruptions.Less than an hour later, the measure passed out of committee unanimously and will head to the full City Council on September 3.Missouri Workers Power issued a statement shortly after the passage identifying the individual as Darrell Miller, who works at the stadium but not employed by the Royals."Security pinned him to the ground and handcuffed him as he told them he could not breathe. The Council continued its fast-track of an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a lease, funding, and development agreement for a stadium at Crown Center," a spokesperson said in the statement."Miller came to the hearing today, along with other Missouri Workers Power members, to speak against a deal that would commit $600 million in public money to a billionaire's stadium while Kansas City cuts transit, schools, and housing. Instead of being heard, he was taken into custody."Missouri Workers Power condemns the council’s decision to move forward with public financing for the project without a public vote. When you add state incentives, the total public cost of this stadium could exceed $1.5 billion over 30 years while Kansas City faces a $100 million budget shortfall, underfunded schools, a transit system in crisis, and a housing shortage working families can't afford."The group said the passage of today's ordinance "ignores the more than 4,500 Kansas Citians who signed a citizens' initiative petition demanding a public vote," adding that Miller was one of the individuals who signed that petition.Please note: This story was provided to CNN Wire by an affiliate and does not contain original CNN reporting.
