Hit Paris Hilton

This taste of Sofia Coppola‘s The Bling Ring (A24, 6.13) isn’t anyone’s idea of assaultive or frenetic. Not too much information but enough to entice. Attitude, entitlement, Emma Watson, swagger, cops, trouble, Taissa Farmiga, flash-bang, Halston Sage (cool name!), Leslie Mann.

Wiki page: “The Bling Ring was a group, mostly of teenagers based in and around Calabasas, California, who burgled the homes of several celebrities over a period believed to have been from around October 2008 through August 2009. In total, their activities resulted in the theft of about $3 million in cash and belongings, most of it from Paris Hilton, whose house was burgled several times. However, over 50 homes were reportedly targeted for potential burglary.

Nancy Jo Sales, who covered the story for Vanity Fair, called the events “completely unprecedented in the history of Hollywood”

Here’s an Emma Watson interview about the film, conducted last September by Vanity Fair‘s Krista Smith.

    Between this and Spring Breakers, 2013 is shaping up to be a banner year for Lex.

      You forgot Michael Bay Beach Party.

        Yeah, Pain & Gain and Fast & Furious 6 are also sure to be Lex highlights. And for me too.

    Sofia Coppola has a unique vision. I’ll see anything she does. It’s also nice to see Emma Watson continuing to take challenging roles to break from the Harry Potter mold.

    This is like some G rated version of Spring Breakers. Has anyone had so little to say as Sofia Coppola?

  • George Prager

    I guess after the screensaver that was SOMEWHERE, she realized that she needed to make a film about something.

    With Spring Breakers, The Canyons, and The Bling Ring, this is looking like a model year for glitzy trashy movies. Stoked.
