Phoenix is reteaming with director Sofia Coppola on the upcoming comedy On the Rocks. The French indie pop band has contributed songs and the original score to the film written and directed by Coppola and starring Bill Murray, Rashida Jones and Marlon Wayans. They also serve as music supervisors on the movie, which follows a young New York mother and writer who – faced with sudden doubts about her marriage – teams up with her larger-than-life playboy father to tail her husband. The band’s original song Identical is featured in the trailer (embedded below) and is also being released as a digital single today (visit Amazon to stream/download the track). Coppola is also executive producing the American Zoetrope production with Youree Henley (The Lighthouse, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood). Phoenix have previously collaborated with Coppola on Lost in Translation, Somewhere and The Beguiled. On the Rocks will be released in select theaters this October by A24 and will also be available to stream on Apple TV+.
