Fellow
Cal Arts Alumnus
Mason Richards and
Sofia Coppola talk shop and her new film
Somewhere.
From
Academy Award-winning writer/director Sofia Coppola ("
Lost in Translation," "
The Virgin Suicides," "
Marie Antoinette"), "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."
SOFIA COPPOLA (
Writer/
Director/
Producer)
Sofia Coppola grew up in
Northern California. After doing costume design on two feature films, she studied
Fine Art at
California Institute of the Arts.
She then wrote and directed the short film
Lick the Star (which world-premiered at the
Venice International Film Festival), followed by the feature The Virgin Suicides. Ms. Coppola wrote the screenplay for the latter film, adapting it from
Pulitzer Prize winner
Jeffrey Eugenides' novel of the same name. The movie starred
Kirsten Dunst,
Josh Hartnett,
James Woods, and
Kathleen Turner. A world premiere at the
Cannes International Film Festival, The Virgin Suicides subsequently earned her the
MTV Movie Award for
Best New
Filmmaker.
Ms. Coppola's next film, Lost in Translation, was her
first with Focus Features, and screened at the
Toronto,
Venice, and
Telluride Film Festivals. The movie brought her the
Academy Award for
Best Original Screenplay as well as Academy Award nominations for
Best Director and
Best Picture (in her capacity as producer). Lost in Translation stars
Bill Murray and
Scarlett Johansson won
BAFTA Awards for
Best Actor and
Best Actress, respectively, among many other honors that the cast and crew received worldwide.
Her third feature as writer/director, Marie Antoinette, was based in part on
Antonia Fraser's biography Marie Antoinette:
The Journey, and world-premiered at the Cannes International Film Festival. The movie, which Ms. Coppola also produced, starred Kirsten Dunst in the title role. The film's costume designer,
Milena Canonero, won an Academy Award for her work on the picture.
