Sofia Coppola's true-crime drama The Bling Ring, which stars Emma Watson as one of a gang of fame-obsessed teenagers who robbed celebrities' Hollywood Hills homes, is released in the UK this Friday.
Digital Spy sat down with Coppola to discuss how she approached the stranger-than-fiction story and her decision to cast Watson against type as the shallow, self-deluded Nicki.
The group are played by Watson, Katie Chang, Taissa Farmiga, Israel Broussard and Claire Julien, while Georgia Rock and Leslie Mann play Watson's sister and mother respectively.
The real 'Bling Ring' stole over $3 million of property from celebrities including Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton, Rachel Bilson and Lindsay Lohan.
The film debuted in May at the Cannes Film Festival.
