Chris Rock Misty Green film production

Overview

Production details indicate the film operates on a budget of approximately $5 million. Rock revealed that he personally had to persuade actor Daniel Kaluuya to join the cast, noting that Kaluuya was ‘kind of retired’ and was the only cast member requiring significant convincing.
