Riley Keough lands new Netflix film with Laura Dern and Adam Sandler after worldwide success of Daisy Jones & The Six
Riley Keough will join A-listers Laura Dern, Adam Sandler and Billy Crudup in a new Netflix film after the worldwide success of her series Daisy Jones & The Six. Keough, 34, who landed Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for her role in the Prime series, will star in the Noah Baunbach directed film described as a ‘funny and emotional coming-of-age film about adults’ per Deadline.
Baumbach has co-written the script alongside Emily Mortimer. Baumbach, Amy Pascal and David Heyman are producing. Baumbach has an exclusive deal with Netflix having previously directed The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected), Marriage Story and White Noise.
Keough starred as lead character Daisy, in the Prime Video series Daisy Jones and The Six, which follows the rise of rock band Daisy Jones and The Six through the ’70s LA music scene on their quest for worldwide icon status.
The show is based on the New York Times bestselling novel, also starring Suki Waterhouse, Camila Morrone, Sam Claflin, Sebastian Chacon, Josh Waterhouse, Nabiyah Be and Tom Wright
Daisy Jones & The Six landed nine Prime Time Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series Or Movie, at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards.
Last year Keough said she and her grandmother Priscilla Presley’s relationship experienced ‘a bit of upheaval’ while they battled over Lisa Marie Presley’s will.
The actress was left devastated by her mum’s death aged 54 in January 2023 and as left fighting her grandmum Priscilla, 78, after she contested her daughter’s will – disputing a 2016 amendment removing her as co-trustee and naming Keough and her brother Benjamin, who has since died, instead.
Riley said in a cover interview with Vanity Fair magazine their relationship is now ‘happy’, but admitted Lisa Marie’s death caused a ‘lot of chaos’ in the family.
She said when asked about the issue: ‘I’m trying to think of a way to answer it that’s not a 20-minute conversation.
‘There was a bit of upheaval, but now everything’s going to be how it was. ‘Anything that would suggest otherwise in the press makes me sad because, at the end of the day, all (Priscilla) wants is to love and protect Graceland and the Presley family and the legacy.’
Riley added ‘things with Grandma will be happy’ now that ‘clarity has been had,’ noting that she and Priscilla had ‘never not been happy’.
