Watch Emma Watson Dance and Steal in 'The Bling Ring'
by Shannon Keirnan
The trailer for the new Sofia Coppola is out, and it promises… well, just about everything you would expect from a Sofia Coppola trailer.
“The Bling Ring” features Emma Watson, and is based on the true story of a ring of young crime experts who broke into the homes of celebrities like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr, and stole over $3 million worth of goods by using the Internet to determine when the celebrities were out of their home.
Watson features as a party girl who spends her purloined money on drugs, alcohol, and expensive clothes. In Coppola’s signature style, Watson dances in dark clubs, checks her makeup, and reviews her stash, all with almost no dialogue. Want to watch Emma Watson bounce and lick her lips? You’re covered.
Interestingly, the film, which follows the true story of the female thieves who ran amuck for a year and a half before being caught, is also causing controversy in the legal world. Los Angeles Police Officer Brett Goodkin has been criticized for using his knowledge of the case to assist in, and even appear in, the movie.
Superior Court Judge Larry P. Fidler said of Goodkin’s involvement in the film, “His judgment is as poor as it gets. It’s not outrageous. It’s not fragrant. It’s not egregious. It’s stupid. You can have a field day with him.”
The movie, which also stars Leslie Mann and Gavin Rossdale, will hit theaters June 14th. Check out the trailer below! Will you be seeing “The Bling Ring?”
