Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin have teamed up once again — this time for
revenge — in the newly released Moving
On trailer.
The preview, which dropped Wednesday (below), gives a
first look at the two icons together in the new comedy. The film, written and
directed by Paul Weitz, also stars Malcolm McDowell, Richard Roundtree,
Catherine Dent and Eddie Martinez.
Fonda and Tomlin’s characters are estranged friends who
reconnect at their best friend’s funeral to seek revenge on her widower, Howard
(McDowell), who messed with them more than four decades prior. “Howard, I’m
gonna kill you,” Fonda says to a taken aback McDowell in the trailer. “Now that
she’s gone, I’m going to do it this weekend.”
The duo sketch out different plans to take down McDowell,
including looking into guns and poison. “So, what’s the plan, Scarface?”
Tomlin asks Fonda. At one point, Fonda is seen grabbing a knife as she heads
toward McDowell while at a gathering together.
Through their mischief, Fonda even reunites with a former
great love (Roundtree). “I am shocked by your utter selfishness,” McDowell
says, addressing Fonda. “You blame me for what happened in your own marriage. I
think you were not built for happiness.”
Throughout the film, Tomlin and Fonda’s characters work
on making peace with the past, with their former relationships and with one
another, all while bringing humor at every turn.
Moving On marked Fonda and
Tomlin’s first onscreen collaboration together since wrapping Netflix’s Grace & Frankie, where they
co-starred together for seven seasons. The comedy was the streamer’s
longest-running series when it wrapped in May 2022.
“When I’m not with Lily for a few days, I miss her. It’s
visceral,” Fonda previously told The Hollywood Reporter of working with Tomlin.
“She has a humor that comes from deep within. It’s soulful, it’s not cynical,
and it’s never at anyone’s expense.”
As the friends were wrapping their run on Grace
& Frankie, it was Tomlin who reached out to Weitz, who has previously
directed both Tomlin and Fonda, and decided to pitch their next project. “I was
sitting on the set of Grace and Frankie a couple of years
before COVID, and I said to Jane, ‘I’m going to call Paul Weitz and tell him to
write a movie for us,'” Tomlin shared
with THR in 2022 near the end of Grace & Frankie‘s
run. “I made the call, and he wrote Moving On. It’s my third movie
with him. I just like him so much as a director and a writer.”
Of her relationship with Fonda, Tomlin added, “We both
have the same work ethic and we genuinely love each other, even though we come
from such different backgrounds. I know she has my back, and I know I have
hers. And I’m of course interested in all her political activities.”
In her recent cover
story with THR, Fonda echoed that the appeal of
the 9 to 5 duo’s long-term friendship is how different they
are: “She’s got this funny bone that’s just innate, and I’m in awe of it
because it’s the opposite of me. I come from a long line of depressives.”
The duo also have 80 for
Brady, which filmed after Moving On but
releases first, coming out on Friday. The film sees Fonda, Tomlin, Rita Moreno
and Sally Field as friends who head to Houston for Super Bowl LI
to see their hero Tom Brady in action. The real-life friendly foursome debuted
the road-trip movie with Brady on
the red carpet Thursday, ahead of its release in theaters.
Moving On will debut in theaters March 17.

Jane Fonda’s latest apology for her infamous trip to
North Vietnam — which earned her the notorious name “Hanoi Jane” — is still too
little, too late for many Americans who say they can never forgive the Academy
Award-winning actress.
