Meryl Streep rocks the stage in the first photo from her new movie "Ricki and the Flash". Arriving online via PEOPLE on Wednesday, February 4, the photo shows the 65-year-old actress turning into a rocker. Sporting a bright-colored top, cool necklace and braids, Streep brings along an electric guitar onstage, AceShowbiz reports.
In the comedy/drama flick, Streep plays a singer and guitarist named Ricki who abandons her rocker dream to make amends with her family. She and her ex-husband then rally around their daughter who is having rough time with her divorce.
Kevin Kline plays Streep's ex-husband, while her real-life daughter Mamie Gummer also makes an appearance. Other cast members include Rick Springfield, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" star Sebastian Stan and "Private Practice" star Audra McDonald. The movie is directed by Jonathan Demme ("Philadelphia", "Rachel Getting Married") with a script by Diablo Cody ("Juno").
Streep is currently enjoying the success of her latest musical flick "Into the Woods". She is nominated for a Best Actress in Supporting Role trophy at the upcoming Academy Awards for her performance in the star-studded movie and is up against Patricia Arquette ("Boyhood"), Laura Dern ("Wild"), Keira Knightley ("The Imitation Game") and Emma Stone ("Birdman").
