The Hollywood Reporter reports that Chris Rock will be starring in "I Think I Love My Life," a US remake of the French film "Chloe in the Afternoon." Charles Stone will be directing the project for Fox Searchlight.Rock wrote the script with longtime collaborator Louis C.K., adapting Eric Rohmer's script.

"L'amour l'apres-midi"  depicted 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.

"Wife" is set in present-day New York rather than Rohmer's Paris in the swinging '70s.
