Director Sofia Coppola has reflected on the age gap between Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson in her film Lost in Translation. The movie, released in 2003, follows the relationship that develops between a neglected young woman (played by Johansson) and a former movie star (played by Murray) in Tokyo. Coppola initially did not consider the age difference, but has since acknowledged her changing perspective. While the age gap raises questions, Coppola believes it serves the film's core theme of bonding between individuals at different stages of life.
