Stephen Dorff on ‘Somewhere’

The World

Sofia Coppola, director of “Lost in Translation,” “The Virgin Suicides” and “Marie Antionette,” has a new film in theaters called “Somewhere.” The film centers on a movie star named Johnny Marco (played by Stephen Dorff) who lives a wild, juvenile, nomadic life, often in hotels. His life is upended upon the arrival of his young daughter Cleo (played by Elle Fanning), who has spent most of her life living with her mother.

Stephen Dorff talks with us about his new film, working with Sofia Coppola and Elle Fanning, the nature of celebrity, and the strange world of child stars.
