ARRIVES APRIL 19, 2011

THE VENICE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL BEST PICTURE WINNER DEBUTS ON BLU-RAY(TM), DVD, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD AND ON-DEMAND FROM UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOME ENTERTAINMENT

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Feb. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

OVERVIEW: Written and directed by Academy Award® winner Sofia Coppola, Somewhere stars Stephen Dorff (Public Enemies), Elle Fanning (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), and Chris Pontius (Jackass) in an affecting and witty story about celebrity and parenting. You've probably seen actor Johnny Marco (Dorff) in the tabloids or in his Ferrari, driving around. He's comfortably numb with women and pills, drifting along. Then, his 11-year-old daughter Cleo (Fanning) arrives unexpectedly to stay with him in his suite at Hollywood's legendary Chateau Marmont hotel - and with her encouragement, Johnny faces up to where he is in life. Hailed as "magical, profound, moving and very funny" (Scott Mantz, Access Hollywood) and "One of the year's 10 Best Films" (A.O. Scott, The New York Times), Somewhere won the Best Picture award at the 2010 Venice International Film Festival and debuts on Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Download and On-Demand on April 19, 2011 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
