Wow her hair is longer then I thought! She looks lovely!

[sobriquet87]

Lol. She's so pretty even when she looks SO angry.
I don't think I've seen her smile once since she's been filming this movie.

[Miloux]

Haha true! But I can't really blame her with all the media stalking her down .

her natural hair length now is beautiful

Sypnosis of her role in TBR

Quote:

As it happened, just as Miranda came on board, we came into possession of Coppola's (typically brief, at only 80 pages) script for the project, and we thought we'd take a quick read to see what we can expect from the project. And to put it simply: it's a Sofia Coppola film, for better or worse, examining empty lives of wealth and privilege, just as "Lost In Translation," "Marie Antoinette" and "Somewhere" all did. But thanks to the real-life tale, it's also got something more. The script opens (after a knowing quote from Nicole Ritchie's Twitter page) in media res, with the gang breaking into a Hollywood mansion, followed by indicators of their future arrest, and glimpses of interviews by the teens with journalists after the fact. This structure runs throughout, and other than changing the names of the central characters, Coppola seems to have stuck closely to how the true events unfolded (if not necessarily the biographical facts), and it lends the script an almost-docu-drama feel throughout. Also worth noting is that while Watson has widely been reported to be the lead, that's not quite accurate. The entry-point character for the audience is Marc (Broussard), a fashion-obsessed (and seemingly gay, although it's never stated outright) 16-year-old kid who starts at a new high school (based on Burglar Bunch member Nick Prugo), and quickly falls in with a Korean-American girl named Rebecca. It's Rebecca (a character based on the real life figure Rachel Lee, and will presumably be played by newcomer Katie Chang) who's the ringleader of the group, and arguably the female lead, while we suspect that Watson's playing Nicki, a pretty teen with an ex-Playboy model mother (to be played by Mann) who schools her two daughters on the importance of finding fame. "Wanna be thug" Chloe (possibly Farmiga's part) and Nicki's boyfriend, the Mexican bouncer Rob (presumably Miranda's role), fall in with the gang, and soon they're scouring gossip sites for the whereabouts of their favorite celebs, breaking and entering when they're away and taking clothes, cash, naked photos and even a gun (from Brian Austin Green, of all people), using their spoils to finance a hard-partying, coke-snorting lifestyle, with little regard for the possibility of getting caught. On one hand, this is a world we've seen Coppola tackle many times before, and it's hard not to wish that she'd found a more substantial piece of material like "The Virgin Suicides," especially in the middle section, where the burglaries and materialism porn becomes a little repetitive (although that's partly the point). But on the other, Coppola's found a new way to approach the subject, bringing in issues of class and the poisonous effect of a vacuous culture, and there's a neatly satirical touch to proceedings (Mann's character's first line is telling her daughter "Girls! Time for your Adderall!), while still retaining a sympathetic, even-handed approach that feels vaguely reminiscent of Gus Van Sant's "Elephant." Ultimately, Coppola, even more so than most filmmakers, uses her script as a skeleton, and much of what makes her films work (or otherwise) comes in the execution. With a cast so green, the movie will really hang on how well they can pull it off, but if nothing else, having Hermione Granger do a scantily-clad dance with a gun will get the attention of the mainstream media (the film is another smart choice for Watson, who looks like she could be a real force post-Potter). Things are certainly looking promising, all in all, and we're excited to see the finished film: with shooting underway, we could end up seeing this before the year is out.

I have to admit that my first thought when I found out Emma was going to be in Sofia Coppola's film was, "Yes! Lot's of awesome outfits from the premiere and film festivals," because we all know that this will show at some film festivals. It is Sofia Coppola film after all. And then after this thought I promptly freaked out because it's a new Sofia Coppola film! I think this was good choice for Emma, doing a Coppola film (and now she's a Coppola girl... joining the ranks of Elle, Kirsten, and Scarlett), and the script sounds interesting.

[sobriquet87]

Cool. It's nice to find out more about what role she's going to be playing.
I looked up the "Bling Ring" on wikipedia, so I had a feeling Emma wouldn't be playing the leader. I can't wait to see her on-screen with Leslie.

[dajrekshn]

most of the people out there are so worried and put off by this project for some reason (i dunno why as i'm not too familiar with the whole incident that provoked this story), but it's sofia HELLO! it can't be trashy or bad in her hands. i really think this is a great career choice for emma.

^In summary, the story is about a group of teens stealing from celebrities like Orlando Bloom, Rachel Bilson and Lindsay Lohan.. I find that most of those who are against this story is because they feel that by making a movie about this means that they are glorifying the group of teens and that would encourage others to do the same..

[jemina]

I love her dark hair.

[Caroliiine]

I love her dark hair, but I find it very odd that she's dying it dark for a role now (post-HP) when she refused to dye it during the HP years and kept insisting she was a natural blonde. I think hair was more important to the role of Hermione/HP fans vs. staying true to the Bling Ring character.

I think after this she should keep her hair dark and short... with the extensions she looks similar to Kristen Stewart and pretty much every other college girl in the country.

thanks for the summary! that's what i got from all the articles i've read on this group, but i think you raise a good point about why it's so "trashed" by everyone. glamourizing the whole thing...yeah...

[sobriquet87]

@Caroliiine: Well I think age plays a factor and it was never said that Emma refused. She was only 9 or 10 when she started playing Hermione, so I understand them not dying her hair. And the filmmakers probably didn't want to go too dark in the following films to help maintain some continuity. It would have been weird if Hermione's hair was light brown in films 1-4 and then all of a sudden was dark brown in movie 5. Plus, it's never said in the books how brown Hermione's hair is. It could be dark or light.

[Caroliiine]

Nah, I think Emma had an impact on Hermione's style (I remember the analysis of the pink hoodie when POA came out years ago), particularly during her teen years when appearances became important (like every teen girl). And I don't think hair continuity mattered to the WB since Tom Felton's Draco had a different hairstyle and color in almost every movie. And Tom started bleaching his hair from the first film at the age of 11.

As for the Bling Ring project, I'm interested to see what she will wear on the promo tour for it. Sofia's movies premiere at Cannes, don't they? But I'm uninterested in the movie itself after watching some clips of the real BR, they are just such a turn-off. I don't know if I could handle a movie based on a bunch of spoiled brats unless there was a twist and they all turned on each other at the end or something.

[rustyforareason]

She seemed to color her hair a lot. Just look at all of her film promo appearances through out the years.
