Ricki And The Flash - Teaser Trailer

Ricki Rendazzo is a veteran rockstar as part of her band Ricki And The Flash. She's adored by so many people in the world apart from the people who matter the most; her family. While on tour (as usual) she gets a call from her ex-husband Pete telling her that her daughter Julie has been dumped by her partner Max for another woman. Realising finally that her presence is needed, she drops everything and rushes to her daughter's aid - though, as it turns out, Julie is far from grateful. She and her brother have been forced to spend their most cherished memories without Ricki there, with their stepmother Maureen taking on the role as a proper mother to them. Ricki's son doesn't want her at his forthcoming wedding either, so it seems Ricki has a lot of making up to do if she wants to have a hope of re-connecting with her loved ones.

Meryl Streep goes from musical theatre madam to rock entertainer in the forthcoming family drama 'Ricki And The Flash' directed and written by Oscar winners Jonathan Demme ('The Silence of the Lambs', 'Philadelphia') and Diablo Cody ('Juno', 'Jennifer's Body') respectively, the film sees Streep re-united onscreen with her real life daughter Mamie Gummer for the first time since 2007's 'Evening'. The movie will be released in the UK on August 7th 2015.
