We’re all big fans of writer/director Sofia Coppola after impressing with dark, fact-based debut THE VIRGIN SUICIDES. Her ascent from the disappointing actress in her father’s GODFATHER conclusion to Oscar-winning writer and director of LOST IN TRANSLATION has made her one filmmaker we’ll always enjoy seeing what comes next. And that ‘next’ project is another true-life tale, THE BLING RING.
The film follows a group of young teens whose obsession with the celebrity culture of Los Angeles led them to commit a number of burglaries in the Hollywood Hills. They were known to track their heroes whereabouts online and to break in and steal lavish gifts while away from their glamorous mansions. The likes of Paris Hilton and Orlando Bloom were said to be victims before the gang were eventually apprehended.
