Apple is starting its original content era strong with an A24 feature film directed by Sofia Coppola and starring Bill Murray and Rashida Jones. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news about On the Rocks, which “follows a young mother who reconnects with her larger-than-life playboy father on an adventure through New York.”
Jones stars as the aforementioned young mother, while Murray will play her playboy father. On the Rocks will film on location in New York City this spring.
Coppola and Murray’s names attached also suggest that the Apple films won’t abide by the same strict “family-friendly” guidelines as its original TV shows. This is an A24 film after all, a studio known for pushing the envelope in ways that would totally flout Apple’s apparent ban on sex, violence, and risque content. Or could we be gearing up to see our first PG-rated Coppola film?
