I absolutely love Lost in Translation. It’s one of my all-time favourite films. So it should come as no surprise that I’m very excited about Sofia Coppola’s next film, Somewhere, not only because of her previous work but also because it sounds pretty damn cool too.
Somewhere is a dramedy which centers on Hollywood’s iconic Chateau Marmont, the hotel of choice of many tabloid-friendly celebrities. The story is about a bad-boy actor (Stephen Dorff, S.F.W.) who gets an unexpected visit from his 11-year-old daughter (Elle Fanning, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), and is forced to reexamine his life. Coppola has called it “an intimate story set in contemporary Los Angeles,” while Focus Features CEO James Schamus describes it as having all the “witty, moving and empathetic qualities that characterize all [of Sofia's] work.”
Benicio Del Toro, Michelle Monaghan and Chris Pontius also star. The film is due for release on December 22nd.
