A New President: March 28, 2003 is the date when President Chris Rock takes over the oval office in his film, “Head Of State.” Rock stars, and makes his directorial debut, in the comedy, which also features comedian Bernie Mac, Lynn Whitfield (“A Thin Line Between Love and Hate”), Robin Givens (“Forgive & Forget”), Tamala Jones (“The Brothers”), and Dylan Baker (Road To Perdition”), among others.

In the film, Rock’s character is about to be redlined from his job, but the untimely death of the party frontrunner causes him to get plucked from obscurity and thrust into the limelight as his party’s nominee for President of the United States. "This film is about the little man running for President. He's the lowest guy you could imagine getting a shot at the biggest title in the world. He's a "Rocky" of politics. When the nominee for President dies, the party is behind and they know they are going to lose the election. None of the good candidates will runs, so they choose me, an alderman from D.C. I'm the scapegoat, the patsy. Gilliam has a unique campaign style-- he tells the truth--which is unique in politics today. He's not constricted the way other politicians are, so he tells it like it is," explained Rock.
