James Franco plays a drug and arms dealer in the upcoming Selena Gomez movie, Spring Breakers. He says that the casting of Gomez and co-stars Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine, and Vanessa Hudgens is perfect for so many reasons.
“When [director] Harmony [Korine] told me who he was going to cast, I thought it was perfect for so many reasons. The young actresses are so excited to do a movie like this with someone like [him]. They were so eager and enthusiastic to be a part of it,” said Franco.
Korine himself told Interview: “When I wrote the script, I started thinking about girls in bikinis with guns, wearing ski masks.” Yes, of course, who wouldn’t think that, I ask. Korine added, “I was like, ‘Where would you see that?’ And the idea of spring break came to me. I just started imagining girls on spring break robbing places.”
