Sofia Coppola's Crime Drama "The Bling Ring" Hits Theaters
Emma Watson, known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series, is taking a detour from magic wands to crime capers. The film "The Bling Ring" directed by Oscar nominee Sofia Coppola will make its way to American cinemas this summer.

Allegedly inspired by true events, the movie delves into the adventures of a band of tech-savvy burglars who used the internet to gather intel about the rich and famous. This gang, nicknamed The Burglar Bunch, gained notoriety with the public through a Vanity Fair article and was reported to have stolen around $3 million worth of property before their arrest[3].
Joining Watson on the big screen are Leslie Mann, Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, and socialite Paris Hilton, one of their real-life victims, who makes a special appearance in the movie.
