Insert ‘Jonah Hill screaming in excitement GIF’ here.

You know the one.

I recently rewatched Groundhog Day, for the umpteenth time (seems appropriate during lockdown), and it really is a Bill Murray classic.

He was also great in his cameo during 2009’s Zombieland, and if you enjoyed that one, I would suggest not watching the sequel, last year’s Zombieland: Double Tap, which is a mess.

Thankfully, it looks like the best may still be to come, and Murray will star in On The Rocks, which is written and directed by Sofia Coppola, alongside the always excellent Rashida Jones.

Some details via Variety:

Jones stars as Laura, a writer who suddenly becomes suspicious of her husband’s (Marlon Wayans) busy work schedule and frequent travel. She and her charming, impulsive father Felix, played by Murray, soon find themselves following her husband around New York City in search of answers, but the generational differences between Laura and Felix soon become obstacles.

The marital detective work soon becomes a comic adventure across the city, drawing father and daughter closer together despite one detour after another.

I am on board with everything I have heard so far. Trailer time:

The film is set to be released in theatres and on Apple TV Plus in October, with the exact date still to be confirmed.

Let’s call it there, with a reminder that for an immediate Murray fix, it’s worth watching (or rewatching) 2014’s St. Vincent:
