According to Deadline, Jay Z and Kanye West teamed up again to co-produce Chris Rock’s upcoming movie, “Top Five.”
“Top Five,” which was written and directed Chris Rock, had a line of distributors bidding up the film after premiering at the Toronto Film Festival. Brad Grey’s studio took it off the table paying $12.5 million, making it the biggest deal of the festival.
So what is the film about?
The semi-autobiographical film is about “Chris Rock as Andre Allen, a New York City comedian-turned-film star who re-evaluates his former life in stand-up after meeting with a journalist played by Rosario Dawson.”
The film also stars, Kevin Hart, Tracy Morgan, Cedric The Entertainer, J.B. Smoove, Sherri Shepherd, Anders Holm, Romany Malco, Leslie Jones, Michael Che, and Jay Pharoah.
The Roots’ Questlove is the movie’s executive music producer, as Jay and Kanye co-produced the film.
No word on when the film is set to be released, but I can’t wait!
