Emma Watson Got That Sofia Coppola Bling Ring – Images

3 hours ago | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »

Back in March we told you that Emma Watson had been cast in Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring, a film based on the teenage “gang” of delinquents that famously targeted (and rather easily) robbed several celebrity homes, including that of Paris Hilton (whose home reportedly got hit several times), Lindsay Lohan, Megan Fox, and Rachel Bilson  - in the process of stealing millions of dollars worth cash, clothes, jewelry and such.

A film based on these clowns would be a tough sell for me, but I have to admit that  there’s something about Sofia Coppola’s involvement in a film that tends to class up the proceedings even if it doesn’t end up delivering in the end. Coppola didn’t waste much time casting the actress who might be the absolute ideal at the moment for a  role asking for a young fashionable lead (who I think »

Sofia Coppola's Bling Ring pics look like Hilfiger ads, in a good way

3 hours ago | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »

If you happened to have picked up Vanity Fair's March 2010 issue, the Hollywood Issue with cover girls like Emma Stone and Mia Wasikowska draped on chairs and looking louche, you would have flipped by Nancy Jo Sales' juicy and jaw-dropping tale of teenage thieves whose targets were the young, rich and beautiful actresses who called California home. Your Parises, your Lindsays, your Audrinas. The bold and entitled junior burglars apparently made away with almost $3 million worth of goods from their home invasions and Sofia Coppola, who while an adult and mother speaks fluent teen, is giving us the fictionalized version of their unbelievable stories.

Lead by Emma Watson, the first official photos from The Bling Ring dropped today, and what we have is a Tommy Hilfiger ad and a far stretch from Hermione, with Watson's delicate face obscured by head-engulfing sunglasses, iced coffee drink in hand, sneer in place.

First Look At Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring, Starring Emma Watson

4 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

The Bling Ring promises to be different than any other movie Sofia Coppola has directed thus far. While it will still a movie about rich people - I guess she doesn't want to stray too far from her bread and butter - it's also a crime caper and should move at a much different pace than Coppola's previous efforts. The film is based on the true story of a group of rich teens in California who decide to start a heist gang and begin robbing celebrity's houses (including those of Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox). Though the cast largely consists of newcomers, the movie does star Emma Watson and Leslie Mann and Paris Hilton, Kirsten Dunst and Gavin Rossdale will all be making cameos. We've already seen a couple shots from the set of The Bling Ring, but today comes the first official still. Posted over at EW, the image »

First Official Images from Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring Starring Emma Watson

6 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

The first official images from writer/director Sofia Coppola’s new film The Bling Ring has been unveiled.  The pic is based on the true story of a group of teenagers who robbed the homes of the rich and famous between October 2008 and August 2009, coming away with over $3 million worth of loot from the likes of Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, and Lindsay Lohan.  The cast is lead by Harry Potter’s Emma Watson and, based on these images, her character looks to be just about as far from Hermione Granger as possible.  We also get a look at co-stars Taissa Famiga (American Horror Story), Israel Broussard (Flipped), Katie Chang and Claire Julien.  We previously saw a couple of batches of set photos, but these official images shows the whole Bling Ring gang all together, frappuccinos in tow. Hit the jump to check out the image.  The cast also includes Leslie Mann. »

Sofia Coppola’s ‘Bling Ring’ Converge In First Official Photo

6 hours ago | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

Following some set photos and an innocuous video sneaking their way online, we’ve finally been granted a first official look at Sofia Coppola‘s The Bling Ring. It is, sadly, not a still from the actual film, but a promotional piece that presents our titular group of teenage criminals; Emma Watson is leading the pack, while the rest of the pictured lineup includes Taissa Farmiga, Israel Broussard, Katie Chang, Claire Pfister, and Georgia Rock.

The picture doesn’t leave much to discuss, so, if you haven’t heard, it’d be best for you to know that The Bling Ring is based on a real-life group of Hollywood teens who, for reasons eloquently detailed here, decided to break into the homes of celebrities and steal millions of dollars worth of their jewelry; funny enough, then, that Paris Hilton, Gavin Rossdale, and Kirsten Dunst (Coppola‘s Marie Antoinette star) all filmed cameos as themselves. »

Emma Watson and Others in First Official Look at Sofia Coppola's 'The Bling Ring'

7 hours ago | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Emma Watson is easy enough to pick out of the five characters above that make up the titular gang at the center of Sofia Coppola's new movie The Bling Ring, but the others aren't quite so easy. I think the one on the far left is Claire Alys Julien (who also has a small role in The Dark Knight Rises) as Chloe, next to her is Vera Farmiga's sister, Taissa Farmiga, as Sam, then it's Watson as Nicki, Katie Chang as Rebecca and Israel Broussard as Marc making up the gang known as The Bling Ring who burglarizes a series of celebrity homes which included alleged targets such as Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Audrina Patridge, Rachel Bilson, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr, Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox. Additional members of the cast include Leslie Mann, Georgia Rock and Maika Monroe and some celebrities are rumored to have »

New Images Of The Cast Of Sofia Coppola's 'The Bling Ring' Starring Emma Watson

8 hours ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Update: EW has another new pic from "The Bling Ring"

While the Cannes Film Festival may be the place where the finest auteurs from around the world come to unveil their latest offerings, the other side of the fest is the robust market where distributors and producers hawk their wares to buyers, hoping to sell foreign rights for their pictures. In order to help get contracts drawn up and cheques signed, clips or entire movies may be shown, but if those things aren't ready, sometimes a still photo will have to suffice.

And it seems somewhere in the vast Cannes market (we nearly got lost in the labyrinth-like set-up in the basement of the Palais), the first official look at the cast of Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring" was unveiled. We've already seen numerous set photos but this is the first with the gang of teenage thieves all paired up together. »

Harry Potter for Kinect Conjured Up for a Fall Release

26 May 2012 6:39 AM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »

Warner Bros. Interactive is aiming to keep the Harry Potter franchise alive and well this fall with Harry Potter for Kinect.

The exclusive Xbox 360 Kinect game has been assembled from the ground up to take advantage of Kinect's motion-control and scanning capabilities. Players will be able to scan their faces into the game and play alongside the digital versions of Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermoine Granger (Emma Watson) through events from all eight films.

Harry Potter for Kinect builds upon Kinect integration in the most recent Potter adventure for Xbox 360 by adding voice commands for spell casting to physical maneuvers. It will also feature flying a broomstick, Quidditch, mini-games, cooperative play, wizard dueling, and choosing a House at Hogwarts.

Xbox 360 Kinect is starving for some killer applications and Harry Potter for Kinect has the potential to be one of its better sellers this upcoming holiday season. »

'Perks of Being a Wallflower' release date: Emma Watson and Logan Lerman hit screens this September

25 May 2012 10:38 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

Stephen Chbosky's highly anticipated film adaptation of his novel "Perks of Being a Wallflower" has had a long road to the screen. Shot last summer, the movie stars Logan Lerman and Emma Watson in the lead roles, with fan favorites Mae Whitman, Ezra Miller, Paul Rudd, Nina Dobrev, and Kate Walsh as the supporting cast.

Now, it's finally got a release date: Fans of the iconic novel can see it all play out on the big screen on Sept. 14, 2012. Written and directed by Chbosky himself, the film is sure to be a faithful adaptation.

Chbosky had to go to bat for the movie when it was originally slapped with a crippling R rating from the MPAA. After an appeal, the organization agreed to reduce the rating to a PG-13. They cite "mature thematic material, drug and alcohol use, sexual content including references, and a fight - all involving teens" for the rating. »

Fall Release Date Announced For ‘Perks of Being a Wallflower’ With Emma Watson, Logan Lerman and Ezra Miller

24 May 2012 3:03 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

After being shot lost year, our curiosity about a release date for Stephen Chbowsky‘s The Perks of Being a Wallflower has now been answered. Summit Entertainment has revealed a September 14th, 2012 limited release for the film, which hints strongly towards a Tiff Festival bow. Also, according to Watson’s twitter, the trailer will drop at the pre-party for the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, June 3rd.

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower Lands Release Date

24 May 2012 2:18 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Stephen Chbosky's controversial coming-of-age novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower has been a must-read for teens since its debut in 1999. Set in the early '90s, the book unfolds the tragedy-strewn story of Charlie, an introverted high school freshman who channels his thoughts, hopes and fears into letters to an anonymous friend. Told entirely in this epistolary style, Perks gave a unique insight into its gawky teen protagonist's inner thoughts. So when word arose that Summit Entertainment was spearheading a movie adaptation, some fans feared the tender tale would suffer in translation to screen. However, Summit brought the book's author in to pen the screenplay and direct, which quieted concerns about a faithful interpretation considerably. Then came casting news that boasted such heralded talent as Melanie Lynskey, Ezra Miller, Paul Rudd, Mae Whitman, Logan Lerman and Emma Watson, and even the most cynical Perks lovers began to feel »

Rupert Grint Looks to Join 'Death of Charlie Countryman' and 'Cbgb'

24 May 2012 1:34 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Though acting turns outside of the Harry Potter franchise from Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) in films like Driving Lessons, Cherrybomb and Wild Target haven't exactly been as easily recognized as co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson in The Woman in Black and My Week with Marilyn respectively, that doesn't mean the red-haired Brit is giving up on acting just yet. In fact, Variety has word that Grint has locked down two new fairly high profile projects with the Shia Labeouf led thriller The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman and the underground music scene drama Cbgb, based on the NYC club of the same name. Grint has yet to prove himself as a viable star outside of Harry Potter, but I think he has some real talent in him. He might be more suited for comedy, but it sounds like these two roles are a little more serious. In The Necessary »

Mia Wasikowska Makes 'Tracks'; Hilary Swank Goes HBO With 'Mary And Martha'; Rupert Grint Rocks 'Cbgb' & More

24 May 2012 7:26 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Mia Wasikowska has signed on to star in John Curran’s (“The Painted Veil”) new indie “Tracks.” The film will tell the true story of a young woman named Robyn Davidson who traveled 1678 miles through the Australian desert in 1987. It’s an Australian production and will be based on Davidson’s memoirs of the same name, and has already secured distribution down under and in the U.K. (through Momentum Pictures). [Variety]

Hilary Swank will star alongside Brenda Blethyn in the HBO TV movie “Mary and Martha.” The names attached behind the camera are pretty impressive too, with “Salt” director Phillip Noyce set to helm the Richard Curtis (“Love Actually”) penned script. The story will follow two women who emerge from traumatic family tragedy to form a unique bond while fighting for the eradication of malaria. Sounds like pretty heavy stuff, but yet again HBO seems to have lined up the talent to match. »

'Harry Potter' Stars Reunite For New Film

23 May 2012 2:10 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Rupert Grint has reunited with one of his "Harry Potter" co-stars. Variety reports that the erstwhile Ron Weasley will join Alan Rickman (Snape!) in the drama "Cbgb." Grint will also star opposite Shia Labeouf in "The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman" -- which is cool, but since Labeouf was never in any "Harry Potter" movies, who cares.

As first reported earlier this month by THR, "Cbgb" tells the story of Hilly Kristal (Rickman's role), the founder of legendary New York City club Cbgb. Kristal opened Cbgb in 1973 as a spot for country, bluegrass and blues music (hence "Cbgb"). After Kristal widened the scope of the venue, it became a hotspot for many punk rockers of the era, including The Ramones, Blondie and Patti Smith. For his part, Grint will play Cheetah Chrome, guitarist of the Dead Boys.

Like his "Potter" co-stars Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe, Grint has stayed away »
