Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Sony has released the first trailer for RICKI AND THE FLASH, the upcoming dramedy from THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and RACHEL GETTING MARRIED director Jonathan Demme. Meryl Streep stars as the titular Ricki, a wannabe rock star trying to reconnect with her now adult children (Streep's real-life daughter Mamie Gummer and CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER's Sebastian Stan) after abandoning them to pursue her dream. Diablo Cody (JUNO, YOUNG ADULT) penned the script, and the film also features the talents of Kevin Kline and Rick Springfield. Yes, that Rick Springfield.
