Spring Breakers

I'm excited about Harmony Korine's upcoming film...Spring Breakers, set to come next year. It deals with 4 college girls who get arrested after robbing a restaurant to fund their 'spring break' vacation.
The fact that it's Korine's work is appealing in itself but I'm also intrigued to see the actresses stepping into new characters - Selena Gomez plays Faith, and Vanessa Hudgens Candy. These two famous Disney stars have always been associated with happy-smiley kids shows and PG films, and it's exciting to see them exploring different roles in a darker film. Ashley Benson, who plays Brit, is well known for her role as Hana on Pretty Little Liars. While I enjoy PLL from time to time, it's a pretty far-fetched, melodramatic kind of tv programme, and her we'll see her play a very different character in SB. The fourth college girl is Cotty, played by Rachel Korine, Harmony's wife. I have never seen her act. Never the less, the 4 of them look promising and a good team. It's also interesting that they have been cast  - Korine's other films have mainly used unknowns. Top of the list though is James Franco, who plays Alien, a drugs & arms dealer who bails them out of prison. Similar but oh so different to his character in Pineapple Express.

I am realllllly excited to see this movie! As I said before, I love Harmony Korine & could tell instantly from promos it was his work. :) definitely his style.
