Sofia Coppola's 'Somewhere' Trailer Dropped

Been waitin' for this one for a long time now. Heard about it a while back, nice to see Dorf in something he deserves. He is pretty good after all; paired with Sofoa? Ooooooo booooy...

The plot of the film is as follows:

Stephen Dorff plays Johnny Marco, a Hollywood bad-boy stumbling through a life of excess at the Chateau Marmont when he receives an unexpected visit from his 11-year-old daughter, played by Elle Fanning. Their meeting challenges his lifestyle and forces him to make necessary changes.

Let's watch the magic happen.

Looks terrifc, I'm fa serious stoked for Dorff. One or two movies he's done have really showed me what he's all about when given the shot. Michelle Monaghan and Benicio del Toro also appear in the film as well. What?... Nice. A few thing in the script are, from Coppola, insipired by a few little things from her own life growing up as Francis Ford's daughter.

Munki out.

Summit Entertainment Reaches To The A's For Twilight Film

Summit Entertainment is the studio responsible for not only breaking the Twilight Saga wide open and raking in just stupid amounts of money with, but winning 6/9 Oscars it was nominated for with the indie hit, The Hurt Locker. 

And now it looks they're trying to elevate the game with their new found acclaim by reaching out to some high profile directors. Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, Milk), Bill Condon (Dreamgirls), Sofia Coppola (Lost In Translation) and Stephen Daldry (The Reader) have all been supposedly tapped to helm the fourth installment. Now yes, they have made a boat load of cash and good press and zeitgeist silliness of this generation with Twilight. Then they got the prestige they needed to secure themselves as a legit (meaning dope) studio. But I mean... these directors? Are they too big for they're britches here? Maybe not. 

In my opinion (and what do we say about that? It's practically fact folks) , this is all tween-queen bubblegum crap. BUT! They are entertaining movies, not films, and they are fun to watch if you just embrace the ridiculousness of it all. And the approach to a long told classical teen romance, injecting vampires and werewolves and some serious mythology into it? My hat's off to Stephenie Meyer for all of that.

I'd be doing the same thing if I had the credentials Summit now has. Elevate your shit son, class it up, add some grade A to the perspective why don't you? If you can, do it? I'd watch 'em not to just review them for the sake of being a film buff. But because I'm a fan of these directors. I'm all for this idea, let's see who they pin down for it. 

I'll keep you posted on what happens next. 

Munki Out.
