As the writer of TOP FIVE, the movie he just wrote, directed and starred in, Chris Rock was part of an hour long discussion among the top writers in the movie business.
What’s the best piece of advice someone has given you about filmmaking?
MOORE I had a moment, right before we shot our movie, I talked to my friend Fred who has made a bunch of movies. “As a writer on set, what’s my job?” And he was like, “Well, there’s one simple thing you have to remember: You’re the writer on set, shut the f— up!”
ROCK [Filmmaker] Reggie Hudlin said, “Eat with the crew.” Just eat with the crew. You’ll get more out of your crew if you just eat with your crew every day.

I’m big on the concept of Take Your Daughter To Work Days, so my daughter Helena attended the dress rehearsal for the Governor’s Awards.

It seems Warner Bros. will not rest until every DC superhero has his or her own live-action adaptation. Not that we’re complaining. The latest comic book project announced by the studio is Static Shock, a live-action series to be produced by Warner Bros.’ new digital division Blue Ribbon Content.
At the center of the story is Virgil Ovid Hawkins a.k.a. Static, a young black geek with electromagnetic superpowers. Django Unchained producer Reginald Hudlin will executive produce. Hit the jump for details on the new Static Shock series.
THR has the full writeup of Blue Ribbon Content’s upcoming programming slate. Here’s the rundown of the Static Shock series:
Writer/producer/director Reginald Hudlin (Best Picture Oscar nominee for producing Django Unchained) leads the creative team behind a live-action adaptation of Static Shock, featuring the African-American super hero Static, aka Virgil Ovid Hawkins. Static Shock is based on the Static comic co-created by the late Dwayne McDuffie with co-writer Robert L. Washington III and artist John Paul Leon, which was originally published by the DC Comics imprint Milestone Comics and, later, by DC Comics. Milestone Media co-founder/comic book artist/TV producer Denys Cowan (the original Static Shock animated series) is collaborating with Hudlin on the new Static Shock.

Way back in the Analog Age my first professional pencilling assignment was a pinup of (incredibly inked by Jimmy Palmiotti! Boy did I hit the lotto) With the news in that Static is getting a show, I couldn’t help but draw Static as I’d imagine him reacting to the news, for old times celebration sake. Congrats Everyone.

Marry Me is one of NBC’s big hits of the fall season. I just directed an episode. Here I am with star Casey Wilson. Quit staring at that dope Captain America shirt I’m rocking.
I can’t believe I didn’t get pictures with the amazing Ken Marino, John Gemberling, Sarah Wright Wilson and Tymberlee Hill who are all as delightful to be with as they are talented.
But I did get a shot with Tim Meadows. We haven’t worked together since I directed him as the star of Ladies Man. He’s a different kind of ladies man in this show, as one of Casey’s two dads. We had a great time together. He’s a massive talent.
