The more I see of
Somewhere, the more I'm certain that
Sofia Coppola has taken her script for
Lost in Translation - changed a few character traits, a few names and the locales - given it a new title and stamped it as an original, dramatic feature. An old story in new gloss, if you will. My original knee-jerk reaction was that Somewhere was a
'tonal sequel' but now I just see an artist trying to repeat a former glory after a misfire. The latest marketing clip from the movie has our unusual lead
Stephen Dorff playing a loser actor
with issues, and his obviously disgruntled former co-star
Michelle Monaghan with whom they share a history together, during a photo shoot which eerily echoes
a famous scene in the 2003 Best Picture nominee. Just this time without the laughs, the charismatic performances or the witty dialogue.
| Somewhere | Movie Trailers I'm not saying I'm not interested in Somewhere, because I am. It's exactly my kind of movie but I'm curious as to how it'll open in Venice over the next fortnight or so because I'm not feeling a spark with it. It's lacking...
something.
