Kanye West, Jay Z Producing Chris Rock's New Movie

09/12/2014
. (Radio.com) Watch the Throne duo Kanye West and Jay Z are teaming up again, this time on one of Chris Rock's films. The pair will be co-producing Top Five - which Rock wrote, directed, and starred in - alongside the Roots' Questlove, who will be serving as the film's executive music producer.

According to Deadline, others involved in the project include Rosario Dawson, Gabrielle Union, Kevin Hart, Tracy Morgan, Cedric The Entertainer, J.B. Smoove, Sherri Shepherd, Anders Holm, Romany Malco, Leslie Jones, Michael Che,and Jay Pharoah - who goofed on West while playing him at this year's MTV VMAs.

This news lines up with rumors that West was looking to get back into film, after having a small role in Anchorman 2. It also makes more sense, given that his acting has received less than favorable reviews and reportedly cost him a role in Will Ferrell's 2008 film Semi-Pro. More details here.
