A24 Releases Trailer for Chris Rock's 'Misty Green'

A24 released the official trailer for 'Misty Green' this week, an upcoming drama set within Hollywood. The film is written, directed by, and stars Chris Rock, marking his fourth feature as a director and his first directorial effort in over a decade. Rosalind Eleazar stars as Misty, a former actress seeking a career resurgence after facing personal and professional challenges.

The narrative centers on Misty's efforts to regain her standing in the entertainment industry, with an unexpected opportunity from her past potentially offering a path to reinvention. The film's ensemble cast includes Adam Driver, Daniel Kaluuya, Anna Kendrick, and Topher Grace. Daniel Kaluuya portrays Misty's brother, in his first on-screen role since the 2022 film 'Nope.' Chris Rock also appears in a supporting role as a significant figure from Misty's past who attempts to assist her comeback.

'Misty Green' is scheduled to have its world premiere at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival in September. Following its festival debut, the film will be released in theaters in October by A24. The project signifies a departure for Rock into more grounded emotional drama, while still incorporating his characteristic commentary on ambition and the business of show business.
