First Look At Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring, Starring Emma Watson

The Bling Ring promises to be different than any other movie Sofia Coppola has directed thus far. While it will still a movie about rich people - I guess she doesn't want to stray too far from her bread and butter - it's also a crime caper and should move at a much different pace than Coppola's previous efforts.

The film is based on the true story of a group of rich teens in California who decide to start a heist gang and begin robbing celebrity's houses (including those of Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox). Though the cast largely consists of newcomers, the movie does star Emma Watson and Leslie Mann and Paris Hilton, Kirsten Dunst and Gavin Rossdale will all be making cameos. We've already seen a couple shots from the set of The Bling Ring, but today comes the first official still.

Posted over at EW, the image features (from left to right), Georgia Rock, Israel Broussard, Emma Watson, Katie Chang, and Claire Pfister. Check out the image below and full size over at the source.

The film is being distributed by FilmNation Entertainment but doesn't currently have a release date.
