somewhere between a vampire & a hollywood story

A gorgeous portrait of the 'Somewhere' trio. Want to know what was Sofia's original project before writing this movie? A vampire story!

"It's sort of embarrassing. After 'Marie Antoinette', I was thinking, Oh, I feel like it's time for a vampire movie. So I was writing this vampire story, and then that character [Hollywood star] came in. It was before 'Twilight' and all that stuff. Yeah, he came into the story, but it was all set in Europe. And then I was writing the character of the daughter, and I asked my friend's daughter what books she would be reading, and she was explaining to me the plot of 'Twilight', and I didn't know what it was. So that's why we have the daughter talking about that in the movie."

And then life imitated art, because Sofia was approached to direct the final 'Twilight' installment, 'Breaking Dawn'! Luckily she turned that project into 'Somewhere' but it's quite a funny story.

There's a new behind-the-scenes video for 'Somewhere' and it shows more of the movie and more beautiful images, Sofia's movies are always so delicate and pretty. Stephen Dorff also talks about how Sofia offered him the role on the day of his mother's passing away anniversary, which is a beautiful detail, and Elle Fanning also talks about the film. You can see it here:

Plus a new event: Sofia and designer Anna Sui attend the launch of Lanvin for H&M at The Pierre Hotel on November 18, 2010 in New York City:

zimbio & LIFE

father/daughter relationships:

"I don't know, I was thinking about becoming a parent for the first time when I was writing 'Somewhere', so it was on my mind, but it's true, 'Lost in Translation' has that. I like that memorable and romantic relationships can exist in an innocent way."

Can't wait for 'Somewhere'!

somewhere at venice

The movie has premiered at the Venice Film Festival with its glorious trio (Sofia, Elle and Stephen) and it got very positive reviews! This is the one I liked best:

Sofia Coppola’s 'Somewhere' is a quiet heartbreaker. Trading 'Lost in Translation’s' Tokyo hotel for Beverly Hills’ Chateau Marmont, the ever-perceptive writer-director further hones her gifts for ruefully funny observation and understated melancholy with this low-key portrait of a burned-out screen actor. - Variety


That's such good news and the three of them looked so great! Little Ellen is nearly taller than Sofia and Stephen and she's only 12! More pics from Venice: celebrity-gossip

somewhere TRAILER

'Somewhere'´s trailer is OUT!! and it looks so gorgeous, just like she did with'Marie Antoinette' in the trailer there are nearly no dialogues and it's just the beautiful music of Phoenix and The Strokes sounding.

It features some lovely dad and daugther scenes, tea parties under the water and the frivolity of fame, this really looks amazing! The movie will be out on December 22, 2010 but I can't wait!

'Somewhere' news

As Sofia Coppola will be having her second baby around the time the Cannes Film Festival is held, the film will likely have its debut at the Venice Film Festival which kicks off on September 2, 2010.

Wow, that's a long wait because that means 'Somewhere' will arrive on the cinemas later this year or early on 2011... what a downer. In the meantime we have this pretty photo of Elle Fanning on set, it's going to take a lot until we get to see 'Somewhere'.
