Spring Breakers Delivers Guns And Babes In Sleazy New Trailer

Get ready to hear “Spring Break forever, bitches” a lot. It’s one of several instantly quotable lines from the first full trailer for Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers, a hot-chicks-with-guns crime comedy that sparked some buzz at the Toronto International Film Festival last year and is gearing up for a March release.

MTV lucked into the first trailer for the film, and we’re delighted to share it with you below:

Yes, that’s James Franco playing a corn-rowed pimp with the bling-ring grill in his mouth who recruits some sexy, bikini-clad spring breakers for a potential crime ring. The titillating, ticket-selling hook of Korine’s Spring Breakers is the potential sight of Disney Channel cuties Selena Gomez (The Wizards of Waverly Place) and Vanessa Hudgens (the High School Musical franchise) wearing next-to-nothing as they embark on a crime spree to fund their spring break vacation. But once we’ve gotten over the shock value, Korine has to give us something else to sink our teeth into. Reviews out of Toronto weren’t overwhelmingly positive, though most everyone who caught Spring Breakers at least said it has a real “Wow” factor because it proudly waves a freak flag and embraces the strange.

And this first trailer seems to sell that seedy side. Spring Breakers will be at this year’s South By Southwest Film Festival. It will open in theaters shortly after, expanding to multiple locations in March. What do you think of the first trailer? Does it make you want to see the film?
