'I Think I Love My Wife' Says Chris Rock

[Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006]
Chris RockChris Rock is set to star in the French film remake I Think I Love My Wife, says the Hollywood Reporter.

The French feature followed the life of a happily married office worker who daydreams about other women until he encounters the mistress of an old friend who tries to seduce him. The remake will be set in present-day New York rather than Rohmer's Paris in the swinging '70s.

"I'm a big fan of Charles Stone, who I've been trying to work with ever since I saw 'Drumline,' " Rock said. "In the past year, I have made it a point to reach out to a lot of filmmakers whose work I enjoyed, and one person's name that kept coming up as someone I needed to work with was (Fox Searchlight Pictures president) Peter Rice. I can't wait to make a sophisticated comedy with all the good people at Fox Searchlight."

Charles Stone is currently in final talks to helm the project.
