Trailer debut for Chris Rock's drama Misty Green released

The first trailer for "Misty Green," a new Hollywood drama written and directed by Chris Rock, was released on July 22, 2026. The A24 film marks Rock's first directorial feature in over a decade and stars Rosalind Eleazar as an actress fighting to revive her stalled career.

The film follows Misty Green, a talented performer whose personal struggles and professional missteps have derailed her career years after an initial breakthrough. The trailer depicts her financial woes, including being evicted from her apartment, and her strained relationship with the industry. Her agent, played by Topher Grace, tells her the market is difficult and he may not even be able to secure her a role on "Law & Order."

A potential path to redemption appears in the form of Jordan, a filmmaker played by Chris Rock, who offers her a role despite a contentious history. He reminds her, "The last time I cast you, you punched this bitch in the face," to which Misty insists, "She hit me first." The trailer also shows Misty describing her uncompromising lifestyle to a friend, played by Anna Kendrick, and encountering Adam Driver's character, who makes her a vague offer involving extra cash.
