\n\tHollywood loves a comeback. In the new trailer for Chris Rock<\/a>\u2019s Misty Green, it questions if anyone really gets one. The clip finds Rosalind Eleazar<\/a>, who stars as the titular character, fighting to reignite her career years after her first breakthrough. The film also stars Rock, Adam Driver<\/a>, Daniel Kaluuya<\/a>, Anna Kendrick<\/a>, and Topher Grace<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe fast-paced trailer opens with a woman kicking Misty out of what she claims to be her husband\u2019s apartment. While inspecting a gold award on the shelf, she says, \u201cBest supporting actress, Misty Green. Is that you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAlthough Misty attempts to force her way back into the industry due to financial issues, her agent admits, \u201cI get it, it\u2019s tough out there. I don\u2019t even know if I can get you on Law and Order right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe trailer suggests that she\u2019s been swept up in Hollywood\u2019s decadence, led astray following her breakthrough role. While trying to justify her lifestyle to her friend played by Kendrick, she declares, \u201cI 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.\u201d Laughing, Kendrick\u2019s character replies, \u201cI didn\u2019t know you were a Lil Wayne song. That\u2019s so cool.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tYet, despite her lifestyle of debauchery, it soon becomes apparent that Misty\u2019s second chance will likely come with strings attached. Driver\u2019s character, who makes her an offer at a party, expresses, \u201cI\u2019m looking for open-minded friends who might want to make a little extra cash,\u201d while handing her a card. The trailer then cuts to Driver dangling a glimmering necklace over the pool with his foot while girls struggle to reach for it, perhaps subtly alluding to Misty\u2019s fate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe need to keep our eyes on the prize here,\u201d her agent reminds her as her life descends into chaos. Moving between soundstages, wild parties, lonely city streets, and even jail, tension continues to build in the clip.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film, which arrives this fall, marks Rock\u2019s return to the director\u2019s chair as his third feature film and most dramatic project yet. While his other movies like Top Five (2014) blurred the line between comedy and confession, Misty Green, based on an original script by Rock, focuses on a more intimate story about fame, addiction, regret, and what it costs to start over.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
