Coming to cinemas in the UK very soon is the Meryl Streep-led comedy drama Ricki and the Flash. The film is written by Diablo Cody (Juno) and directed by award-winning director Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs), and we have a brand new exclusive featurette to share with you.
First, here’s the synopsis.
Meryl Streep takes on a whole new gig – a hard-rocking singer/guitarist – for Oscar®-winning director Jonathan Demme and Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody in Ricki and the Flash. In an original and electrifying film loaded with live musical performances, Streep stars as Ricki Rendazzo, a guitar heroine who made a world of mistakes as she followed her dreams of rock-and-roll stardom. Returning home, Ricki gets a shot at redemption and a chance to make things right as she faces the music with her family. Streep stars opposite her real-life daughter Mamie Gummer; Rick Springfield, portraying a Flash member in love with Ricki; Kevin Kline as Ricki’s ex-husband; and Audra McDonald as Kline’s new wife.
Check out our exclusive featurette for Ricki and the Flash below. The film arrives in UK cinemas on September 4th, and US cinemas this Friday. It’s already getting some pretty good buzz.
