THEN AND NOW: The cast of 'Lost in Translation,' 20 years later

  • "Lost in Translation" premiered on September 12, 2003 in the United States to critical acclaim.
  • Sofia Coppola directed the drama, which features a small but star-studded cast.

"Lost in Translation" is perhaps best-known for the sensual opening shot and the heartbreakingly inaudible last few lines of dialogue that bookend the film, but Sofia Coppola's drama also features a star-studded cast and poignant storyline.

The film follows young, lonely college graduate Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) visiting Tokyo with her husband, a celebrity photographer (Giovanni Ribisi). While grappling with the potential unraveling of her marriage and general ennui, Charlotte meets Bob Harris (Bill Murray), a washed-up American movie star shooting whiskey commercials in Tokyo and staying at the same hotel. The two eventually develop an intimate friendship.

Here's what the cast has been up to in the 20 years since "Lost in Translation" premiered.
