Meryl Streep shows off her honed rock and roll chops in the new trailer for Jonathan Demme’s forthcoming film, Ricki and the Flash. The family drama stars Streep as the titular Ricki, a rocker who returns home to make amends with her estranged children after finding out her daughter Julie, who is played by Streep’s real life daughter, Mamie Gummer, has been unceremoniously dumped. The soundtrack for Ricki and the Flash was recorded in front of a live audience and includes Streep performing classic Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty songs. Streep also reportedly practiced the guitar for six months in preparation for the film.
