This week's edition of Trailer Tuesday features the latest film by writer/director Sofia Coppola. Check out the trailer for The Bling Ring:
Looks like Emma Watson (aka Hermione Granger) is making a clear break from the more family-friendly character we watched her grow up as in the Harry Potter series. She is one younger female actress that I believe will be able to have a successful career post kid/teen franchise. We saw her tackle a serious, darker role in last year's The Perks of Being A Wallflower (read our review here), and I am looking forward to see what she does in this new film.
Inspired by actual events, The Bling Ring is based on a group of fame-obsessed teenagers who use the internet to track celebrities' whereabouts in order to rob their homes. Real-life victim Paris Hilton will be making a cameo which could be a good or bad thing. I am hoping for good. I doubt Coppola would include Hilton in the film if it wasn't going to be in good taste.
We only get a glimpse of what Coppola has created with her latest teen drama film in this teaser trailer, but from what is shown, it looks like we are in store for another game-changer ala Coppola's The Virgin Suicides. That film showed us the darker side of teenage life and it looks like this film will do the same, albeit in an updated format. Coppola also found a muse in Kirsten Dunst after working with the actress in The Virgin Suicides (the two worked together again in Coppola's 2006 film, Marie Antoinette). Perhaps she will find another one in Watson.
The Bling Ring, which marks Coppola's first film since 2010's Somewhere, is set to be released on June 14, 2013.
