Poster for Sofia Coppola's 'Somewhere' hits

Here's the one-sheet for Sofia Coppola's upcoming comedy drama "Somewhere," which is currently slated for release Dec. 22, 2010. I heard the film will screen at the upcoming Venice Film Festival as well.

Poster after the jump is very simple, but I don't mind it at all. The film tells the story of Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff), a bad-boy actor stumbling through a life of excess at a prestigious hotel in Hollywood.

With an unexpected visit from his 11-year-old daughter (Elle Fanning, who is Dakota Fanning's younger sister, yes), Johnny is forced to look at the questions we all must confront. Chris Pontius co-stars.

Daily news dose: 'Pooh' writer to pen 'Wanted 2;' Lionsgate won't do 'Bloody Valentine' sequel

Here's your dose of film news for April 20, 2009:

• Screenwriter Evan Spiliotopoulos, whose credits include "Pooh's Heffalump Movie," is set to write "Wanted 2" from a story by Chris Morgan. Considering most characters died in the first film, it will be tough to put together an intriguing story, which will focus on main character Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy). Timur Bekmambetov may return to direct the sequel. (The Hollywood Reporter)

• According to the guys at ShockTillYouDrop, Lionsgate is not interested in developing a sequel to Patrick Lussier's recent box office success "My Bloody Valentine 3-D." This is quite surprising, considering the film grossed $51 million domestically. In the end, not moving forward with a sequel may actually be the best decision.

• Toby Kebbell, who starred as the hilarious Johnny Quid in "RocknRolla," has joined the cast of Jon Turteltaub's upcoming adventure "The Sorcerer’s Apprentice," which is currently shooting. The film centers on an apprentice (Jay Baruchel) who is supposed to take care of a magic workshop when a sorcerer (Nicolas Cage) gives it to him. (Variety)

• Sofia Coppola's next film is titled "Somewhere," and it will star Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning, according to Variety. The movie follows an actor who lives an extravagant lifestyle at the Chateau Marmont until he gets an unexpected visit from his 11-year-old daughter. Coppola also directed the wonderful "Lost in Translation."
