Sofia Coppola may be returning to the Oscars!
The first trailer for the upcoming On the Rocks has arrived! The film stars Bill Murray and Rashida Jones in the upcoming dramedy
The Oscar-winning writer-director reunites with her Lost in Translation star Murray and longtime friend Jones for the project, which follows a Manhattan-based writer, Laura, as she enlists the help of her playboy father, Felix, to tail her husband (Marlon Wayans) after she begins to suspect he’s having an affair with a new coworker.
Coppola previously told EW, “I wanted to do something that was a little bit lighter and more playful with a lot of heart and sincerity,” she said, noting that the central adventure — partially inspired by experiences with her own father, director Francis Ford Coppola — is more about bringing its participants closer together as a father and daughter than finding a resolution to the conflict that set their trek in motion. “Felix is an old-world gentleman used to talking over martinis. The way he looks at women and relationships, he’s giving advice from his perspective, which is different from how Laura’s husband is, and she’s trying to see it from his view. It’s [juxtaposing] that perspective of the martini generation and how they look at men and women in a different way than we do.”
