Somewhere won the Golden Lion Award for Best Picture at the 2010 Venice International Film Festival. From Academy Award-winning writer/director Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation, The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette), Somewhere is a witty, moving, and empathetic look into the orbit of actor Johnny Marco (played by Stephen Dorff).

You have probably seen him in the tabloids; Johnny is living at the legendary Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood. He has a Ferrari to drive around in, and a constant stream of girls and pills to stay in with. Comfortably numbed, Johnny drifts along. Then, his 11-year-old daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning) from his failed marriage arrives unexpectedly at the Chateau. Their encounters encourage Johnny to face up to where he is in life and confront the question that we all must which path in life will you take?

Filmed entirely on location, Somewhere reunites the writer/director with Lost in Translation editor Sarah Flack and production designer Anne Ross. Stacey Battat (Broken English) is the costume designer, and Harris Savides (Elephant) is the director of photography, on Somewhere.

ELLE FANNING (Cleo)
Elle Fanning is, at age 12, already a film and television veteran.

At age 3, the Conyers, Georgia native appeared as the younger version of her older sister Dakota's character in Jessie Nelson's I Am Sam, opposite Sean Penn. The Fanning sisters again played the same character at different ages in Taken, the Emmy Award-winning epic SciFi Channel miniseries.

Elle Fanning's subsequent films include Alejandro González Iñárritu's Academy Award-nominated Babel, alongside Academy Award nominee Adriana Barraza; Tod Williams' The Door in the Floor and Terry George's Reservation Road (both also for Focus Features); Steve Carr's Daddy Day Care; Andrei Konchalovsky's The Nutcracker, released in 3-D; Wayne Wang's Because of Winn-Dixie; Tony Scott's Déjà Vu; and David Fincher's multi-Oscar-winning The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, portraying the younger incarnation of Cate Blanchett's character, opposite Brad Pitt.

Her first lead role was as the title character of Daniel Barnz' independent feature Phoebe in Wonderland, in which she starred opposite Felicity Huffman, Patricia Clarkson, and Bill Pullman.

On television, Elle Fanning has appeared in episodes of such popular shows as House, Law & Order SVU, CSI New York, CSI Miami, Judging Amy, and Criminal Minds. She also starred in a second SciFi Channel miniseries, The Lost Room.
