New Trailer: ‘The Bling Ring’ with Emma Watson

The Bling Ring will have its world premiere at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, but for those of us not heading to France at least we have a chance to check out a new trailer. In the latest video, Emma Watson does things that would make Hermione Granger furious, robbing the rich and famous without considering the consequences.

Directed by Sofia Coppola, the dramatic film based on true events also features Israel Broussard, Katie Chang, and Taissa Farmiga.

The Plot:

In the fame-obsessed world of Los Angeles, a group of teenagers take us on a thrilling and disturbing crime-spree in the Hollywood hills. Based on true events, the group, who were fixated on the glamorous life, tracked their celebrity targets online, and stole more than 3 million in luxury goods from their homes. Their victims included Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, and Rachel Bilson, and the gang became known in the media as “The Bling Ring.”

In The Bling Ring, Oscar Winning filmmaker Sofia Coppola takes us inside the world of these teens, where their youthful naivete and excitement is amplified by today’s culture of celebrity and luxury brand obsession. The members of the Bling Ring introduce us to temptations that any teenager would find hard to resist. And what starts out as youthful fun spins out of control, revealing a sobering view of our modern culture.
