Focus Features has debuted the first trailer for Somewhere, the latest from Lost in Translation writer/director Sofia Coppola. The film stars Stephen Dorff as a “a bad-boy A-list actor stumbling through a life of excess,” interrupted by the unexpected arrival of his 11-year-old daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning).
Coppola’s critical status hit a bit of a snag with 2006′s Marie Antoinette, but she’s out of the eighteenth century and back in her comfort zone (perhaps too cozily?) with Somewhere, as evidenced in the understated clip. The hipster in me is definitely looking forward to this one when it hits theaters on December 22, 2010. Check out the trailer after the jump.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff) is a bad-boy A-List actor stumbling through a life of excess while living at Hollywood’s legendary Chateau Marmont Hotel. His days are a haze of drinks, girls, fast cars and fawning fans. Cocooned in this celebrity-induced artificial world, Johnny has lost all sense of his true self.
Until, that is, his 11-year-old daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning) unexpectedly shows up and unwittingly begins to anchor him. Johnny’s fragile connection to real life slowly revives in her presence. So when the time comes fro Cleo to leave, his sense of loss is palpable, but the gift of hope she has also brought him leads to a beautiful, poetic denouement imbued with all of Coppola’s remarkable powers to conjure mood and atmosphere.
Coppola’s ear for music of course spills over into the trailer. It band Phoenix (who nab a “featuring music by” credit) score the opening, while The Strokes close with the rather precious “I’ll Try Anything Once”, a demo new to my ears. Thanks, Sofia.

yeah, it looks like “lost in tanslation 2″ the prequel in which we find bill murray and scarjo around 20 years earlier – christ, they are even hanging out in a hotel. c'mon, sophia – work for it.
also, using elle fanning is like using 3d – it is a cheap, uninspired way of getting some attention for your otherwise lackluster flick (witness phoebe in wonderland). the kid is so devastatingly cute and weirdly talented you could have her read pi at a camera and it would be riveting.
(oh yeah, maybe try evinced instead of evidenced.)
Well, Whatever, that has to be the first time I've seen someone turned off by a film because someone involved is TOO talented.
And yes, God forbid a director should set two movies in a hotel. John Ford set half his films in the Old West and he did all right for himself. As for the rest, I would hope Coppola would be able to suss out the differences in a relationship between two strangers and a father and daughter.
Anyway…Sofia Coppola's three-for-three for me (I'll go toe-to-toe with any Marie Antoinette hater any day), and I'm interested to see what Harris Savides brings to the table. I tend to prefer Lance Acord's work, especially in collaboration with Coppola, but Savides is climbing higher with each new movie. No doubt there are some stunning images here (this minimalist approach to trailers is at once predictable and refreshing…I hate it when trailers give away too much).

Historically, sports shoes producers pay most of the attention to the property of the shoes. The first point of every pair of shoes is the comfort feeling. If it can improve the performance of the players. The brand will become world known, Adidas shoes is such a brand. With the development of society, designers begin to do something different to the shape and look of running shoes. Drawing people’s attention become quite important. When fashion becomes part of the life, sports shoes begin to connect with fashion closely. Without fashion element, shoes will not be shoes.
