James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez and Emma Roberts are all in talks to star in Harmony Korine’s fourth feature length project, SPRING BREAKERS. The film follows four college girls who rob a fast food restaurant to fund their spring break and upon arriving in Floria, are immediately arrested.
Roberts (SCREAM 4) is set to appear as Candy, with tween stars Hudgens and Gomez in yet unnamed roles. The fourth member of their group is yet to be cast. James Franco, in another bizarre role to add to his resume, will play Alien, a ‘rapping drug and arms dealer’ who crosses paths with the young women.
Despite the family friend casting choices (Hudgens and Gomez starred in HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL and THE WIZARDS OF WAVERLY PLACE respectively), SPRING BREAKERS is unlikely to be easy watching. The film is written and directed by Korine, whose debut GUMMO followed ‘Lonely residents of a tornado-stricken Ohio town wander the deserted landscape trying to fulfill their boring, nihilistic lives’). 2009 release TRASH HUMPERS ‘Follows the lives of a small group of sociopathic elderly people in Nashville, Tennessee.’
