Watch the New Trailer for Sofia Coppola’s ‘On the Rocks’ Starring Rashida Jones and Bill Murray
Sofia Coppola will direct Bill Murray and Rashida Jones in a father-daughter journey.
This seems to be a special project for Coppola since both the actors starring in the film have a special connection to her. Murray was the star of her cult-classic Lost in Translation (2003). According to IndieWire, Coppola said that she thought she could never do something with him again because “…people have such a fondness of him…I could never recreate something like that, so I never wanted to touch it.”
The connection Coppola has with Jones actually starts with Lost in Translation as well, even though the Parks and Recreation actress wasn’t in the movie. As revealed in an EW interview, Jones read for Scarlett Johanson’s part in an early workshop read for the film. Ever since then, Jones and Coppola have stayed close friends.
Sofia, Bill and A24. Take my money!

The drama-comedy will follow Jone’s character after a mid-life crisis as a mother and wife in Manhattan suspects her husband, played by Marlon Wayans, is having an affair. This is where Jones’ character will turn to her “playboy” father for help in finding out the truth.
On The Rocks is an Apple Original Film and is set to be released in October on Apple TV and theaters, but luckily, we got a sneak peek for us to enjoy while we wait.
Be sure to mark your calendars because you surely will not want to miss this.
