Paramount to Distribute Chris Rock's Top Five Worldwide

Paramount Pictures announced today it will distribute writer/director Chris Rock’s Top Five worldwide.

“Chris and I go back decades, both personally and professionally, and so I am particularly proud to have watched his career grow to its highest heights over many decades. This film showcases brilliantly how talented Chris is as a filmmaker and storyteller and we are thrilled to be partnering with him, Scott Rudin and my longtime friend, the legendary Barry Diller and IACF for its worldwide launch,” said Brad Grey, Chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures.

Written, directed by, and starring Chris Rock, Top Five tells the story of New York City comedian-turned-film star Andre Allen, whose unexpected encounter with a journalist (Rosario Dawson) forces him to confront the comedy career–and the past–that he’s left behind.

Chris Rock, Rosario Dawson, Kevin Hart, Tracy Morgan, Cedric The Entertainer, J.B. Smoove, Sherri Shepherd, Anders Holm, Romany Malco, Leslie Jones, Michael Che and Jay Pharaoh star. The film is produced by Scott Rudin and Eli Bush. The co-producers are Shawn “Jay Z” Carter and Kanye West. The executive music producer is Questlove. Barry Diller and Scott Rudin?s IACF financed the film.
