Emma Roberts was originally cast but the film required her character to indulge in a three-way sex scene, causing her to drop out of the film due to unspecified "creative differences." She was replaced by Ashley Benson.
Seriously? It would be much better, Emma would be my favorite in Spring Breakers.
There's something wrong with Esther.
I think Emma has a prettier face than Ashley.
shareI'm sure she's very happy that she turned it down!

Emma sounds like someone willing to live off her family fame when it suits her, instead of paying her dues & earning success on her own, or failing on her own.
Lost any respect I had for her. It was none, but now I'm not a fan.
There's even a pic with her and the other 3 girls on the Internet.
shareI don't know, Emma wouldn't fit for me, especially back when the movie was filming she would've been playing Ashley Benson's character and Ashley Benson had a certain maturity to her compared to Emma who looked like a teenager.
The performance Ashley gives is raw and vicious and while Emma is good at that I don't know if she'd be able to sell it the same way, beyond being vicious Ashley's characer along with Vanessa's both have this allure and maturity like they know things that draws the other girls in and makes them want to play along.
I really like Emma as an actress but I think the cast was perfect as it was. They all gave performances that perfectly suited their characters.
..Emma who looked like a teenager.
Here's a picture of Emma with the girls when they were still casting.

Now I'm not saying Emma is a bad actress, but her character and Vanessa's are the leaders of the group and Emma, at least at the time, I don't think would have had the same powerful firecracker allure that Ashley Benson had.
I know her legs are a bit skinny, but what as I know, she has such legs. But her weigh is not a big reason why she drop out. I don't think that Ashley was bad in it, but in my opinion, she was cast in an unsuitable role.

I wasn't really pointing to her weight when posting that picture but more how childlike she looks in general, and considering her character is one of the leaders of the group it's just hard for me to to picture her as the character, especially not after Ashley's convincing performance. But to each their own I respect your opinion.
shareNot in as major of a role, but on a similar note with this movie, Harmony claimed on the commentary that the role of the pastor played by Jeff Jarrett was originally going to go to Val Kilmer.
shareShe's very pretty but I think she looks too childlike to be in a film like this. Other than that acting wise she would've been great!
shareno, glad she was replaced. She lacks edge. i like her in scream queens.
I hated Jaws, it had too much shark, and dont get me started about King Kong, waaay too much gorilla
