Talented Co-Operation
French indie-rock band Phoenix, which had received the Grammy award in 2010 in ‘The Best Alternative’ nomination is now recording the soundtrack for Sofia Coppola’s new move “Somewhere”, said The Independent. This movie is supposedly going to be produced in drama/comedy style and will be released sometime in 2010. Major roles are played by such actors as Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning; the whole action is taking place at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood. As the Phoenix leader Thomas Mars said, the recording of the soundtrack had reminded him the work of an engineer instead of a composer. “It wasn’t like writing songs, it was more about trying to make a sound that fits with a Ferrari and the city of Los Angeles’s theme. It was more of an engineer work than a composer”. Particularly for Phoenix it’s not the first time when they’ve attempted to co-operate with Francis Coppola’s daughter; basically, the band was working on another soundtrack for her “Lost in Translation”. Besides that, Thomas Mars and Sofia Coppola are dating for a long time and currently getting ready to give birth to their first child. Absolutely stunning joint work between these two talented people is very common among artists and hopefully if not saying surely this time their co-operation will end up in a great success.
