i didnt know "Riff Raff" was an irl person, guess that helps explain some of the astonished reactions

should have done it like the dylan movie where different actors all play riff raff at various times in his life.

Would love to see Taryn Manning as Riff Raff.

damn otm

Mister Lonely is possibly the worst film of the last ten years. That or 'Kaboom' at least.

yeah that would be a publicity-grabbing sham

*chuckle*

Skrillex was recruited by the movie's musical director Randall Poster, who admits he had barely heard of the electronic music star until a recommendation from Spring Breakers director Harmony Korine.

Poster tells music website Pitchfork.com, "I'm working on Harmony Korine's movie Spring Breakers now and Skrillex is doing original music for us. I had heard of Skrillex, but I wasn't watching it that closely.

of course.

that was my main takeaway from that interview as well.

sounds about right

Left-field writer-director Harmony Korine's new picture is quite the weirdest, wildest beast we've seen in this year's Venice competition – a college-kid caper that's not so much a case of Korine moving to the mainstream as him showing us just how woozy and debauched the mainstream can be.
...
Full credit to Korine, who sustains this act of creative vandalism right through to the finish. Spring Breakers unfolds as a fever dream of teenage kicks, a high-concept heist movie with mescal in the fuel tank. The director monkeys with the plot and kicks away the signposts. He loops the dialogue and drags a dilated, ecstatic camera-lens across honeyed flesh and painted nails. The result is his most fully realised, purely satisfying feature film since Gummo, his outrageous directing debut, way back in 1997

PSYCHED

It has hypnotic visual style and a dense, driving soundscape.

sold.

At one point he sits poolside at a cheesy white grand piano and sings a Britney Spears ballad while three co-eds in DTF pants and pink ski masks do an impromptu dance routine with AK-47s.

sold.

pussy riot is in this?

the only way this could be better is if it had David Hasselhoff...PLAYING HIMSELF!

ooh, or wait no, Fabio, that'd be crazy

haha how many screens is this movie going to open on? 15?

However many screens can hold college kids who grew up on Selena Gomez.

GQ: With regards to your character in the movie, the rapper Riff Raff has said the role you are playing was originally meant for him. Is that true?

James Franco: None of that's true. I'll tell you why he could have never been offered the role. Harmony (Korine, the movie's writer and director) and I were talking about doing a movie together before Spring Breakers was even conceived. I had been a fan of his work and he wanted to do something and I said, "I'll do anything with you." We started discussing ideas and one day he sent me a treatment, which he said he's never done before, just to run it by me. And it was this idea of these girls going on spring break and then they meet up with this guy who leads them into the dark side. And then he wrote the script. So there's no chance Riff Raff could have been offered the role. Of course Harmony and I looked at some of Riff Raff's videos as inspiration, but he was one of a number of people we looked at. I would say the biggest influence on the role was this local Florida rapper named Dangerous. He's fairly unknown, but he was down there in the place, living the life, and he became the biggest model for me and he's in the movie.

Somehow I didn't know about this, or if I did I wasn't paying attention... I've seen <i>Gummo</i> probably more than any other movie and I'm hugely psyched for this.

Gummo

I will at least allow that the first 2 mins of this were the most hilarious I ever spent in a press+industry screening
