Trailer for Bill Murray and Rashida Jones' ON THE ROCKS From Director Sofia Coppola
Bill Murray and Rashida Jones star in director Sofia Coppola’s latest film project, On The Rocks. The story for the film centers around a young woman (Jones), who reconnects with her playboy father (Murray). Together they end up on a little New York City adventure to see if her husband (Marlon Waynes) is cheating on her.
I enjoy the films that Coppola has made. She’s a wonderfully talented filmmaker, who tends to tell fresh and honest stories with interesting characters, and it’s good to see her once again working with Murray. On The Rocks looks like it will be another great film from this team of talent. Here’s the synopsis:
A young New York mother faced with sudden doubts about her marriage teams up with her larger-than-life playboy father to tail her husband. What follows is a sparkling comic adventure across the city—drawing father and daughter closer together despite one detour after another. Acclaimed filmmaker Sofia Coppola brings a light touch to this blend of an exuberant love letter to New York, a generation-clash comedy about how we see relationships differently from our parents, and a funny celebration of the complications that bind modern families even as they tie us in crazy knots. Laura (Rashida Jones) thinks she’s happily hitched, but when her husband Dean (Marlon Wayans) starts logging late hours at the office with a new co-worker, Laura begins to fear the worst. She turns to the one man she suspects may have insight: her charming, impulsive father Felix (Bill Murray), who insists they investigate the situation. As the two begin prowling New York at night, careening from uptown parties to downtown hotspots, they discover at the heart of their journey lies their own relationship.
A24 and Apple will release On The Rocks in select theaters and on Apple TV+ in October.
