Krazov<p>The screenplay for "Lost in Translation" is probably scene-to-scene with the movie (it's been a while), but Sophia Coppola knew what she wanted to shoot, so it's not surprising. The language is terse and it reads very well. I didn't see Bill Murray or Scarlett Johansson during the reading. Or at least, not that much. It impressed me that all the songs are part of the script, not a realisation-time or later addition. Sophia Coppola really knew what she wanted.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/screenplay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>screenplay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LostInTranslation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LostInTranslation</span></a></p>
