For those of us who always have wanted to see Hermoine’s bad side unleased, Sofia Coppola‘s The Bling Ring will be sure a strike a chord. Emma Watson stars in this based-on-a-true story of a group of teenagers who shoplift from stores and burglarize the homes of rich celebrities.
Based on a piece in Vanity Fair, “The Suspects Wore Louboutins” by Nancy Jo Sales, this will only be Coppola’s fifth feature film following other such vibrant independent features as The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation and Somewhere. Coppola’s films have a penchant for probing celebrity and usually are pretty glum and self-reflective so I expect on top of the highs of the thrill, we can expect the film to embody similar themes. Have a look at the trailer.

The Bling Ring stars Emma Watson, Israel Broussard, Katie Chang, Claire Julien, Taissa Farmiga, Leslie Mann, Gavin Rossdale, and Paris Hilton (an actual victim of the real-life Bling Ring) and will hit theaters on June 12.
