Who would have thought the words Meryl Streep and rocker would ever go together? Well, now they do…
In the first photo of Streep from her upcoming movie, RICKI AND THE FLASH, the Academy Award-winning actress looks like a natural on stage with a guitar in hand.
In JUNO writer Diablo Cody‘s latest movie, the acclaimed actress plays singer-guitarist and Flash band member Ricki, who gave up everything to pursue her dream of rock-‘n’-roll stardom. Then she returns home to make amends with her family.Â
Streep’s real-life daughter, Mamie Gummer, also plays the role on screen, alongside Kevin Kline as Ricki’s ex-husband, and rocker Rick Springfield plays a bandmate who is in love with Ricki.
CAPTAIN AMERICA’s Sebastian Stan and PRIVATE PRACTICE’s Audra McDonald are also in the film, which is directed by Jonathan Demme.Â
RICKI AND THE FLASH hits UK cinemas August 7th, 2015
