New Images from Sofia Coppola’s THE BLING RING Featuring Emma Watson
New images from Sofia Coppola’s ‘The Bling Ring’ have been released. Based on a true story, the film follows a group of teenagers who break into famous people’s homes (Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, & Audrina Patridge). So basically it centers on a group of losers breaking into the homes of other losers. The new images feature Emma Watson packing heat, taking selfies, dancing, drinking iced coffee, and getting attention from the media. From nerd to nice girl to grotsky beyotch… girl’s got some range!
I’m a big fan of Coppola’s and I’m definitely interested in seeing how this one turns out. The film will play at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and is expected to hit theaters this summer.
Tracking their targets’ online, the teens break-in and steal designer clothes and possessions. Reflecting on the naiveté of youth, amplified by today’s culture of celebrity and luxury brand obsession, the members of the Bling Ring introduce us to temptations nearly any teenager would find hard to resist. What starts out as youthful fun spins out of control and reveals a sobering view of modern culture. Based on actual events.
Taissa Famiga, Israel Broussard, Katie Chang, and Claire Julien co-star.
