New "The Bling Ring" Movie Trailer VIDEO

Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring has released a new trailer in which Emma Watson and friends rip off Paris Hilton and a host of her fellow Hollywood starlets.

The film follows a group of fame-obsessed teenagers desperate to have their share of the glamorous LA lifestyle by fair means or foul. Practically speaking, that translates into breaking and entering into the houses of Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Bilson et al, and stealing their luxury gear.

The film looks like an intoxicating blend of teenage kicks and social commentary, but it's Watson’s performance that really catches the eye, all valley-girl drawl and sneering superiority. Just about as far-removed from Hermione as you could hope for, really. Directed by Coppola and co-starring Katie Chang, Israel Broussard and Leslie Mann, The Bling Ring opens in the UK on 5 July 2013.

Sofia Coppola's Bling Ring Movie

If you happened to have picked up Vanity Fair's March 2010 issue, the Hollywood Issue with cover girls like Emma Stone and Mia Wasikowska draped on chairs and looking louche, you would have flipped by Nancy Jo Sales' juicy and jaw-dropping tale of teenage thieves whose targets were the young, rich and beautiful actresses who called California home. Your Parises, your Lindsays, your Audrinas. The bold and entitled junior burglars apparently made away with almost $3 million worth of goods from their home invasions and Sofia Coppola, who while an adult and mother speaks fluent teen, is giving us the fictionalized version of their unbelievable stories.

The movie lead by Emma Watson co-stars Leslie Mann and a slew of up-and-comers including Israel Broussard, Katie Chang, Taissa Farmiga, Georgia Rock and Carlos Miranda and according to Playlist, home theft victim Paris Hilton, Coppola regular Kirsten Dunst and, um, Gavin Rossdale, have filmed small parts.

No word yet on when we'll get to see this movie.
