Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring drops on June 14 from A24 Films, based on the true story of a bunch of young, party-happy fame junkies who take to knocking off the homes of tabloid celebs like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom and the like. Its teaser poster, below, is a catchy thing, stacked up as it is with five pairs designer sunglasses. For auteur filmmakers and young ensembles, as is the case here, this is the type of imagination for which more one-sheets should be aiming.



That’s the movie’s visual shorthand selling, though. Its trailer is a slightly more conventional thing, pitching it as a gum-snapping, bubbleheaded heist version of The Perfect Score, with maybe a pinch of Spring Breakers. We’ll see if it possesses the latter’s allegorical punching power. Time will tell. I’ll say this, though — Emma Watson totally nails that voice of vacuous, proudly blithe entitlement, for whom demi-celebrity is an occupational aim.
