Video: 1st Clip For ‘Top Five’ Starring @ChrisRock [#TopFiveMovie]

Paramount Pictures has set release dates for writer/director Chris Rock’s much-buzzed about latest, “Top Five,” which was at the center of a bidding war after a successful TIFF premiere, where it was well-received by critics.

The studio will open the film, in a limited release, in select theaters, starting on December 5, which will be followed by a nationwide release on December 12.

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

Joining Chris Rock and Rosario Dawson in front of the camera are, Kevin Hart, Tracy Morgan, Cedric The Entertainer, J.B. Smoove, Sherri Shepherd, Anders Holm, Romany Malco, Leslie Jones, Michael Che, Jay Pharoah, Brian Regan and others.

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.

On last Thursday night’s episode of “Late Show with David Letterman,” Brian Regan, who appears in the film, shared a scene which features him and Chris Rock. Watch it below…
