\"\"<\/a><\/a>According to Deadline<\/a>, Trance star Rosario Dawson<\/strong> is in talks to play the female lead opposite Chris Rock in the untitled comedy that Rock wrote and will direct for Scott Rudin<\/strong> and Barry Diller<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Shadowandact<\/a> has a breakdown of the synopsis, which states the following..<\/p>\n

ANDRE ALLEN is a comedian turned film star who, despite the expectations of his millions of fans, is determined to reinvent himself as a \u201cserious\u201d actor. Although his latest pretentiously historical film project is tanking, his upcoming television wedding to pretty, popular reality star, ERICA LONG, is the biggest media event of the year. In the midst of all the frenzy leading up to his televised nuptials, Andre agrees to be interviewed for the New Yorker by CHELSEA BROWN, a gorgeous but no-frills young woman with a sharp intelligence that matches his own. It\u2019s a feisty, funny, no-holds-barred interaction that may well change the course of both their lives\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong>The picture, an edgy showbiz-themed comedy with romance, will shoot in New York this June with Rudin and Eli Bush producing, and Diller funding. Rock linked up with Rudin after he signed on to star on Broadway in The Motherfucker With The Hat<\/strong>, and this is their first screen collaboration together.<\/p>\n

Rudin and Diller are currently working together on Brightlin<\/strong>e, the e-publishing business formed with a big investment from Diller\u2019s IAC\/Interactive. Dawson, repped by CAA and Untitled, is reprising her memorable character in the sequel Sin City: A Dame To Die For<\/strong>. She\u2019s also starring alongside Ryan Reynolds, Scott Speedman<\/strong> and Mireille Enos<\/strong> in the Atom Egoyan-directed Queen Of The Night<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
