Sofia Coppola

I realize I was one of the few that thoroughly enjoyed Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, but I think I am safe in saying most enjoyed Lost in Translation and I expect that same group will be interested in her upcoming film Somewhere for Focus Features.

Variety reports Coppola's first film since Antoinette in 2006 will finally get underway with filming scheduled for June and July in Los Angeles and Italy. The film is titled Somewhere and will star Stephen Dorff (Blade) as a bad-boy actor stumbling through a life of excess at the Chateau Marmont. With an unexpected visit from his 11-year-old daughter (Elle Fanning), he is forced to reexamine his life.

2009 is already shaping up to be a great year for female directors as Kathryn Bigelow has already received a lot of good buzz surrounding The Hurt Locker, Nora Ephron is directing Julie and Julia, Mira Nair brings us Amelia, Jane Campion is returning to cinemas with Bright Star and Niki Caro is set to deliver The Vintner's Luck. Will Coppola's return be just the tip of the iceberg for 2010?
