Chris Rock will be taking on his fellow comedians and himself for his new film, Finally Famous.  According to Showbiz411, The comedy will focus on a comedian who wants to be taken seriously.  The film will be Rock's third directing gig following Head of State and I Think I Love My Wife.  The latter has dramatic elements, so Finally Famous isn't just jabs at Rock's peers.  Rock also wrote the script and will star in the picture.  A casting notice has gone out looking for a late-20s, early-30s love-interest for Rock's character.  The casting notice describes the character, Chelsea Brown, as "'vintage, downtown N.Y.C. funky,' with a lacerating intelligence and humor that is disarming."  Producer Scott Rudin, who partnered with Rock on the comedian's Broadway show, The Motherfucker with the Hat, will produce on Finally Famous

Hit the jump for the synopsis and casting descriptions for the other characters.  Filming is set to begin in June.  Rock will next be seen in the decidedly non-dramatic Grown Ups 2.

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’s a feisty, funny, no-holds-barred interaction that may well change the course of both
