First ‘Spring Breakers’ Trailer Is Wild, Nihilistic and Flashy: Yes, Please!


January 17, 2013 | Marina Galperina

Finally, the first full trailer for Harmony Korine’s fuck-up-the-mainstream feature film is here, bitches! Yeah, Spring Break foreve-e-e-e-e-e-er!!! Fuck yeah!!!

Sorry. Sorry. It’s been a long time coming. And it came. Here it is. James Franco doing his best psycho-Riff Raff-esque ring leader and Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine (aka Harmony’s wifey) being lil badasses. Baby-faced former baby Hudgens explains:

Evolution. As an actor, you’ve got to grow. If you’re not growing, you’re dying, in a sense.

Bang bang bang. Oh, and the Pussy Riot balaclava thing makes sense now. It’s their bank robbin’ disguise. Alright, we’ll go with that.

Leave to Harmony Korine –– art house cinema’s grimiest, sleaziest, mini-Herzog — to turn out this year’s most anticipated, blockbuster-friendly and yet, still reasonably “weird” … sexy action flick.

Oh and nice titles. It’s like Gaspar Noe meets the beach art. Very nice. Yey. Do I hear Skrilly? Why yes. Hi, Skrilly.

SPRING BREAKERS tells the story of four sexy college girls as they plan to fund their spring break getaway by robbing a fast food joint. But that’s only the beginning… At a motel room rager, fun reaches its legal limit and the girls are arrested and taken to jail. Hungover and clad only in bikinis, the girls appear before a judge but are bailed out unexpectedly by Alien (James Franco), an infamous local thug and amateur rapper who takes them under his wing and leads them on the wildest Spring Break trip in history. `Rough on the outside but with a soft soul on the inside, Alien wins over the hearts and dreams of the young Spring Breakers, and leads them on a Spring Break they never could have imagined.

Also, I forgot. You have this to look forward to:
