Trailer Trash: Somewhere

Writer-Director Sofia Coppola returns to the Lost in Translation font one more time with SOMEWHERE.

 The very indie-feeling trailer introduces us quickly to action movie-star Johnny Marco, Stephen Dorff, who's coasting through life but isn't satisfied (we can tell this by his scowl while beautiful women throw themselves at him) - we see him in hotels, at press junkets and red carpet events just going through the motions. He hurts his arm somehow (I'm guessing drunken night or on-set accident) and the first sign of love in the trailer is when his daughter, appearing in his hotel room to his understated surprise, Sharpies a little heart on his cast.

Dorff, while never having broken through (beyond Blade) is likeable and certainly looks the part of a weathering movie star, willing us to accept his (or Marco's) stardom. Elle Fanning plays Cleo, his daughter, and seems suitably awkward-stage and realistic. Those Fanning girls have such gentle, expressive faces - what will we do now that they're getting to be all grown up? (Probably sexualize them, as in The Runaways).

The hardest throw-back to Coppola's Oscar-winning heretofore masterwork LiT is a brief shot of Dorff and Fanning at some sort of Italian awards ceremony, where the movie star is being honored for something but doesn't understand what's going on around him.

I like a good Hollywood insider tale, and while this is more about feeling that wheeling & dealing, it's an accessible world to set a fairy tale. I'm in.

The movie hits theaters 12/22 and is brought to us by Focus Features. The trailer is available on APPLE.com.
