Bling Ring

IMDb says we'll have to wait until 2014 for 'Burglar Bunch'. NUTS!! I want a new movie NOW!

The guy behind the robberies declined to be a consultant for the film. What an idiot. Who does he think he is? I'd be honored.

Anyways. I can't wait for the project to shape up. Casting news, details on the direction they're taking with the story and so on. I hope she gets a bit more attention with this one (as opposed to Somewhere). I also hope Elle Fanning will be in this

This is genius!! I used to watch that reality show "Pretty Wild" with Alexis Neirs, who was apart of the bling ring and was convicted. I wonder how would she depict this idiot?

OSCAR-WINNING FILMMAKER SOFIA COPPOLA CASTS EMMA WATSON
IN NEW FILM, “THE BLING RING”

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (February 29, 2012) – Sofia Coppola has cast Emma Watson (HARRY POTTER franchise) in her new film, THE BLING RING. Inspired by real events, the film follows a group of teenagers who take part in a string of celebrity burglaries. Watson will lead an ensemble cast.

THE BLING RING will begin shooting this spring in Los Angeles.

In addition to directing THE BLING RING from her screenplay, Coppola will produce the feature with Roman Coppola and Youree Henley. Executive producers for the picture are Fred Roos and Michael Zakin.

THE BLING RING shows a group of teenagers obsessed with fashion and fame who burglarized the homes of celebrities in Los Angeles. Tracking their targets’ whereabouts online, the teens would 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 that nearly any teenager would find hard to resist. What starts out as youthful fun spins out of control and reveals a sobering view of our modern culture.

“I’m excited about the young cast we’re assembling and I’m looking forward to shooting on location here in Los Angeles,” says Coppola.

Sofia Coppola won the Best Original Screenplay Academy Award for her film LOST IN TRANSLATION and was an Academy Award nominee for Best Director and Best Picture. Her latest film, SOMEWHERE, was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.

Emma Watson is best known for her role as Hermione in the HARRY POTTER films and will be seen this fall in THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER. She just signed on to star in David Yates’ YOUR VOICE IN MY HEAD and Guillermo del Toro’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. She is represented by WME and Markham, Froggatt & Irwin.

Awesome! It sounds like she's going back to the kind of arthouse teen movies she loves and Lick The Star. I can't wait!

Damn! Well, it's a TV movie and besides nobody does it like Sofia
I'm sure her take on the story will be fresh.

That's a Lifetime movie, and probably awful.
