2013 probably should be known as The Year of the Bad Girl, what with “Spring Breakers” and now “The Bling Ring.” The latter film, starring Emma Watson, has already started building some buzz and to keep the buzz growing, a new poster has been released. Take a look at the poster (and the trailer) below the post.
“The Bling Ring” is directed by Sofia Coppola and stars Leslie Mann, Taissa Farmiga, Claire Julien, Israel Broussard, Katie Chang Georgia Rock and Gavin Rossdale alongside Watson. The film is based on a true story involving teens who were so obsessed with celebrity culture that they turn to crime:
“In the fame-obsessed world of Los Angeles, a group of teenagers take us on a thrilling and disturbing crime-spree in the Hollywood hills. Based on true events, the group, who were fixated on the glamorous life, tracked their celebrity targets online, and stole more than 3 million in luxury goods from their homes. Their victims included Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, and Rachel Bilson, and the gang became known in the media as ‘The Bling Ring.’
In THE BLING RING, Oscar Winning filmmaker Sofia Coppola takes us inside the world of these teens, where their youthful naivete and excitement is amplified by today’s culture of celebrity and luxury brand obsession. The members of the Bling Ring introduce us to temptations that any teenager would find hard to resist. And what starts out as youthful fun spins out of control, revealing a sobering view of our modern culture.
With an ensemble cast starring Emma Watson, Leslie Mann, Taissa Farmiga, Claire Julien, Israel Broussard, Katie Chang, Georgia Rock, and Gavin Rossdale, THE BLING RING is written and directed by Sofia Coppola.”
