Sofia Coppola has already accumulated an impressive and highly acclaimed resume as a film writer and director with the films Lost in Translation, The Virgin Suicides and Marie Antoinette. Lost in Translation also earned her a Golden Globe and Academy Award. I’m a big fan of Sofia Coppola’s film and this one looks to be as engaging as her previous efforts. Check out the trailer, synopsis and poster below. Somewhere will be in limited release starting December 22 from Focus Features.
Somewhere is a witty, moving, and empathetic look into the orbit of actor Johnny Marco (played by Stephen Dorff). You have probably seen him in the tabloids; Johnny is living at the legendary Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood. He has a Ferrari to drive around in, and a constant stream of girls and pills to stay in with. Comfortably numbed, Johnny drifts along. Then, his 11-year-old daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning) from his failed marriage arrives unexpectedly at the Chateau. Their encounters encourage Johnny to face up to where he is in life and confront the question that we all must: which path in life will you take. Filmed entirely on location, Somewhere reunites the writer/director with Lost in Translation editor Sarah Flack and production designer Anne Ross. Stacey Battat (Broken English) is the costume designer, and Harris Savides (Elephant) is the director of photography, on Somewhere.
