Chris Rock Forced to Direct Adam Driver After Losing High-Stakes Game of Pictionary

The comedian traded his mic for a megaphone to wrangle the moody Star Wars hunk in his emotional new indie flick.

Word on the street is that Chris Rock didn’t exactly 'choose' to get behind the camera for his new movie Misty Green. Insiders at the local bowling alley claim Chris lost a devastatingly intense game of Pictionary to a group of mimes, and the forfeit was directing a three-hour emotional drama starring Adam Driver. Talk about a tough break! Usually, Chris is out here dodging slaps and making us howl, but now he has to spend twelve hours a day watching Adam Driver look intensely into a sunset while wearing a chunky knit sweater. We hear the set is more tense than a cat at a dog show. Chris reportedly tried to liven things up by adding a laugh track every time someone cried, but Adam just responded with a fourteen-minute monologue about the history of sourdough. The cast is basically a 'Who’s Who' of people Chris probably met in a fever dream, including Topher Grace and Anna Kendrick. My cousin saw them filming in a park and said Topher spent forty minutes trying to figure out if he was supposed to be happy or just hungry. Honestly, we’re just worried about Chris. Directed cinema is a gateway drug to wearing turtlenecks and talking about 'the craft' at 3 AM. If he starts wearing a beret and drinking espresso out of a thimble, we’re staged an intervention. Hang in there, Chris! Just remember: if Adam Driver gets too brooding, tell him there’s a lightsaber tucked inside his craft services burrito.
