66th Cannes Film Festival Review - The Bling Ring (2013)
19 May 2013 3:27 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
The Bling Ring, 2013.
Written and Directed by Sofia Coppola. Starring Katie Chang, Israel Broussard, Emma Watson, Taissa Farmiga, Leslie Mann and Claire Julien.
Synopsis:
Inspired by actual events, a group of fame-obsessed teenagers use the internet to track celebrities' whereabouts in order to rob their homes.
After Sofia Coppola justly earned plaudits for The Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation, a lot of good will remained for the less successful Marie Antoinette and, despite garnering the coveted Golden Lion in Venice, for the frankly mediocre and at times racist Somewhere. That good will may have come to an end.
The Bling Ring tells the true and sorry tale of a group of Hollywood teens eager to purloin the riches of the rich in order to live the Us dream. It all starts with young Mark (Israel Broussard) attending a high school for drop outs, where he is befriended by the »

Sofia Coppola Defends Bling Ring Against Critics: "It's Not a Documentary"
16 May 2013 2:40 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Sofia Coppola isn't worried about what the real teenage crooks who inspired The Bling Ring think of her big-screen portrayal of their exploits. At a press conference for the film at the Cannes Film Festival, the 42-year-old director acknowledged that her movie is based on the true story of a group of teens who robbed the homes of Hollywood celebrities ostensibly for fun—but it's a fictionalized take. "It's not a documentary. We made a movie, and I'm not too concerned with their reaction," the BBC quotes Coppola as saying. The filmmaker behind such acclaimed movies as The Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation was asked about criticism coming from one of those involved in the »
Cannes: Teens Living Dangerously in Sofia Coppola's 'The Bling Ring' and Francois Ozon's 'Young and Beautiful'
16 May 2013 8:09 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Mainstream teen movies tend to resemble their naivete rather than exploring the more complicated world that surrounds it. Made outside that system, Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring" and Francois Ozon's "Young and Beautiful" premiered at Cannes back-to-back in a serendipitous illustration of multiple alternative approaches. Coppola has focused on outsiders since her directorial debut, "The Virgin Suicides," but the trio of features she made after that took her away from teen angst and into the realm of stardom. "The Bling Ring," inspired by the Vanity Fair article about a group of teens in Calabasas, Calif. who burglarized celebrity homes, consolidates the thematic interests running throughout Coppola's movies. Yet it's also the director's lightest, unobtrusive work, and makes it possible to both comprehend its characters' limited worldview while considering its vanity from a distance. At the end a frenzied opening montage, which established a universe of celebrity obsession carried »

Emma Watson's 'The Bling Ring' reviews: What the critics are saying
16 May 2013 4:54 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring has its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival today (May 16), playing in the Un Certain Regard section.
Emma Watson stars in the satirical drama as one of a real-life group of fame-obsessed Hollywood teenagers who robbed the homes of celebrities including Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan between 2008 and 2009.
Digital Spy rounds up the critical verdict so far below:
Screen Daily (Mark Adams)
"An impressively mannered and vividly evocative delve into the glossily vacuous side of fame-obsessed Los Angeles, Sofia Coppola's Un Certain Regard opener The Bling Ring is a cool and smart look at the antics of young teens who stole from the rich and famous, but frustratingly lacks the drama and narrative drive to grip audiences, despite the impressive efforts of the young cast."
The Hollywood Reporter (Todd McCarthy)
"Sofia Coppola's too-cool-for-school portrait of fame-seeking miscreants is beautifully shot but light on social commentary. »
15 Teen Film Senior Superlatives
8 May 2013 9:06 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
Graduation season is upon us and it’s time to start recognizing who had the best hair, who was the most ambitious and who was the biggest slacker. Check out the senior superlatives assigned to characters from your favorite teen films.
There’s no question Amanda Beckett (Jennifer Love Hewitt, Can’t Hardly Wait) had the best hair. When she walked into the party after graduation, all eyes were on her and it was perfect. On the guys side, Trip (Josh Hartnett, The Virgin Suicides) rocked some serious style. No wonder Lux fell for him.
Remember when Darcy (Ali Larter, Varsity Blues) tried to seduce Mox with that whipped cream bikini? Only Jake (Chris Evans, Not Another Teen Movie) came close to topping that.
When Marcie (Julie Benz), Courtney (Rose McGowan), Fern (Judy Greer, Jawbreaker) walked through the hallway, everyone steered clear. It was their territory. It was like they »

Even More Sexy New Stills From Sofia Coppola’s ‘The Bling Ring’
7 May 2013 11:10 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
We’re all big fans of writer/director Sofia Coppola after impressing with dark, fact-based debut The Virgin Suicides. Her ascent from the disappointing actress in her father’s Godfather conclusion to Oscar-winning writer and director of Lost In Translation has made her one filmmaker we’ll always enjoy seeing what comes next. And that ‘next’ project is another true-life tale, The Bling Ring.
The film follows a group of young teens whose obsession with the celebrity culture of Los Angeles led them to commit a number of burglaries in the Hollywood Hills. They were known to track their heroes whereabouts online and to break in and steal lavish gifts while away from their glamorous mansions. The likes of Paris Hilton and Orlando Bloom were said to be victims before the gang were eventually apprehended.

Emma Watson gets giddy about playing rich in first trailer for Coppola's 'Bling Ring'
23 April 2013 8:00 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
I understand how you might have different levels of reaction to the various films that Sofia Coppola has directed, but I don't understand at all when I hear people try to downplay her talents as a filmmaker. As soon as "The Virgin Suicides" ended that first theatrical screening I saw back in '99, I knew I was onboard with whatever she did in the future because that was as clear a display of filmmaker's voice as I've seen in a debut film in the last twenty years. Dreamy, literate, perfectly capturing a specific age in the life of the American teen, »

Sofia Coppola's 'The Bling Ring' Will Open Un Certain Regard Slate At The Cannes Film Festival
17 April 2013 11:06 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
While cinephile eyes will be wearily watching the internet early tomorrow morning for the official line up of the Cannes Film Festival, organizers let out a bit of a tease today to tide everyone over. And it will involve one filmmaker making her return to the south of France. Sofia Coppola will be bringing "The Bling Ring" to Cannes, with the festival announcing that it will open the Un Certain Regard slate at the fest. Cannes is a familiar home for Coppola who unveiled both "The Virgin Suicides" and "Marie Antoinette" previously, and the Un Certain Regard category -- which is usually reserved for edgier or more genre-driven fare -- seems like a good fit for her Emma Watson-starring film about a group of no good kids who steal from celebrities. The movie was long rumored to be part of the slate in one way or another, and this »

Photos: Is Kirsten Dunst Going Gray?
28 March 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Kirsten Dunst's style is as fashion-forward as it comes. Her roles in "The Virgin Suicides" and "Marie Antoinette" launched trend after trend, and Dunst's personal outfits make her an off-duty superstar. Surely any look on a magazine she covers should be one to copy, right? Get ready for the latest trend modeled by Kirsten Dunst: gray hair.
Billed in Bullett Magazine as "America's edgiest sweetheart," the glossy's cover story dip-dyes Dunst in a wash of silvery tones. Bullett's interview includes an outlandish declaration of Dunst's "disgust" with kissing Brad Pitt for one of her earliest film role. Her gray hair is paired with other avant-garde accessories, like ear cuffs, bronze eyeshadow and... gang signs?
According to Bullett's interview, the gang symbol was Dunst's idea. “Come on, guys,” she said. “Let’s make this controversial. Let’s sell magazines!”

‘The Bling Ring’, filmmaker Sofia Coppola’s newest feature, releases its first trailer
8 March 2013 6:00 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
One of the problems many critics and film viewers had with The Godfather: Part III was filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola’s decision to cast his daughter Sofia Coppola in a key role. Near the end of the decade, however, Sofia Coppola burst onto the filmmaking scene herself with her debut feature The Virgin Suicides, largely erasing any memories of her acting career and gaining a new set of fans. With her last feature, Somewhere, arriving in theatres in 2010, many fans were eager to see her return, which is set to happen with The Bling Ring. Taking on writing and directing duties, Sofia Coppola guides a cast that includes Emma Watson, Leslie Mann, Taissa Farmiga, and Gavin Rossdale. The first trailer for the feature has now been released, and can be seen below.

Emma Watson looks good going bad for Bling Ring teaser trailer
8 March 2013 10:41 AM, PST | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »
Sofia Coppola, we have missed you. After her disappointing, and slow slow slow Somewhere, a juicy teenagers-gone-very-bad story like The Bling Ring is a perfect opportunity for the talented lady behind The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette to skillfully, artfully tell the tale of adolescent thieves, with penchants for stealing from the wealthy, young and famous, and the teaser trailer delivers precisely what we were hoping Coppola would give us.
From the flashy neon titles, slow-mo group struts and club scenes where Harry Potter alum Emma Watson gives her best duckface, all set to a throbbing Sleigh Bells song, Coppola is back in her rebellious teen element and despite the almost complete lack of dialogue, we feel appropriately teased and can't wait for more.
Check out the teaser trailer for The Bling Ring, after the jump. »

Watch: Emma Watson Goes Bad For New Film
8 March 2013 7:12 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
This is the year of good stars behaving bad. On the heels of "Spring Breakers" -- the A24 release starring Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, James Franco's cornrows, threesomes, deep-throated handguns and all manner of poor decisions -- comes the first trailer for "The Bling Ring," the Sofia Coppola movie where Emma Watson steals from the rich.
Based on the real-life Bling Ring -- a group of California teenagers who stole from stars like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan between 2008 and 2009 -- "The Bling Ring" focuses on a group of California teenagers who steal from stars. (The film wound up in the middle of a real-life controversy when an officier involved in the case also acted as a consultant on the project.)
"The Bling Ring" co-stars include Leslie Mann and Israel Broussard, but the real star of the new trailer -- besides that Sleigh Bells music cue -- is Watson. »
