The Hollywood Reporter reports that Chris Rock will direct the comedy "I Think I Love My Wife" for Fox Searchlight, replacing Charles Stone who was originally attached to helm. Rock penned the screenplay with collaborator Louis C.K.

Rock also stars in the comedy, along with Kerry Washington and Gina Torres, in this remake of Eric Rohmer's 1972 French comedy "Chloe in the Afternoon." The movie will have Rock as Richard Cooper, a professional who is married to Brenda (Torres), with whom he has a young daughter. When his old flame (Washington) enters the picture, Cooper soon discovers he is in way over his head.
