Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers has a release date — March 22nd, da-da-dum. It also has this neat new poster as seen on the Vulture. Did you forget what it is? Did you forget that a shirtless James Franco will blast “Britney Spears’ ‘Everytime’ on a white piano at the beach as the girls dance around him wearing ski masks and toting shotguns”?
Oh, nice Pussy Riot drop right there, but the way, Korine. I see that mainstream relevance now comes with internet-references — ahem ahem, I’m pointing at you David Bowie, you trollolol. Not that Pussy Riot invented the balaclava or anything, but there’s a reason why it’s so hot these days, right?
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.
Da-blah-blah-da-blah. Let’s do it.
