Just noticed she wore only one earring here, interesting.

I would be burning up in that bathrobe and parka.

The dark brown hair suits her so much better than the salt-and-pepper blonde!
And I really like the short bob she has now. Love the outfit with the grey blazer and black boots!

@YoninahAliza: Lol. I think Emma said in an interview that she's always cold and that her friends think she's insane because she'll have her heater on in the summertime. Me and her could never be friends, because I would kill her if she turned the heater on if it was 80 degrees outside. Me and heat don't mix.

I love the dark extensions. They make her look sort of emo. lol. It will be interesting to see what kind of character she's playing. I love her last casual outfit where she's holding the starbucks!

I don't know how someone can like being warm so much that they sunbathe in a thick dressing gown and slippers!

The more I see of her hair that colour, the more I like it.

I haven't seen a "natural" blonde with roots that dark in my life. She's not fooling anyone.

Seriously! Do we have to have this debate again? Even when she was a child her hair was a light, light, brown.

Emma is crazy with that parka on. I mean it's not really that warm in LA but it's not frigid enough to wear a parka. People in Cali are crazy though, wearing shorts when it's only 55 degrees out.

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 .

 

[KemAlnagdy]

her natural hair length now is beautiful

Sypnosis of her role in TBR

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 p*rn 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.

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.
