Just Jared is today reporting that Harmony Korine’s new project is set to start shooting on February 12th. The site also reports that “Pretty Little Liars” star Ashley Benson is replacing Emma Roberts, who dropped out of the project a few weeks ago. She will head to Florida to shoot the film alongside James Franco, “Glee”‘s Heather Morris, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Rachel Korine.
Ace Showbiz and various other sites are reporting that Emma Roberts has pulled out of the forthcoming Harmony Korine project “Spring Breakers”. Sources say that Roberts, niece of Hollywood actress Julia Roberts, suffered created differences with Korine and the project that could not be resolved.
If she would’ve stayed on Roberts would’ve portrayed a Southern brunette who feeds off of danger. The project is due to start filming this spring break with Rachel Korine, “Glee” star Heather Morris, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, James Franco all attached to star. No word yet on who will replace Roberts.
Back in late December heatherebyrd.com posted an article on Harmony Korine and The Black Keys (who are now neighbouring in Nashville). The article stated that Korine was to direct the video for their new single “Gold On The Ceiling”.
When the video drops you’ll hear about it from us.
The Black Keys got together with director Harmony Korine and the AtLTWINS yesterday in Nashville to make a new music video for their song, “Gold on the Ceiling.” They filmed for most of the day inside two large houses on the east side and also near Percy Priest Lake.
Collider.com yesterday discovered in an interview with regular Steven Spielberg cinematographer Janusz Kaminski that his next project will be Harmony Korine’s recently announced “Springbreakers”. In the video at the above link, Kaminski says he is not at liberty to talk about Spielberg’s latest film “Lincoln” but revealed that his next film will definitely be Korine’s “Springbreakers”, due for release in 2013.
It won’t be the first time Korine has worked with a critically acclaimed cinematographer. Gummo was shot by Jean-Yves Escoffier (who shot Leo Carax’s Lovers On The Bridge). Julien Donkey-Boy was shot by Anthony Dod Mantle (famous for his Dogme work) and Mister Lonely was shot by Marcel Zyskind (who has worked extensively with Lars Von Trier)
Harmony Korine, a longtime collaborator with Dazed And Confused Magazine, has sat down for an interview with Dazed writer Karley Sciortino. The interview was published on Monday in the 20th anniversary edition of their magazine.
A quote from the interview:
Harmony Korine: What’s true about me or what’s made up in my movies, it’s all the same, and it’s perfect. The ultimate truth is boring, and it doesn’t mean anything anyway.

Earlier this month it was reported that Selena Gomez along with Vanessa Hudgens, James Franco and Emma Roberts had signed on to a new Harmony Korine project entitled “Springbreakers”. MTV managed to get a few words from Gomez with regards to the project. Gomez told reporters:
The beginning of next year I will be starting my new movie called ‘Spring Breakers’, I’m really, really excited about it. It’s a different character than I have ever played before. It’s a different kind of vibe I think than people are used to seeing me in. What you’re going to see is more raw, I think. It’s going to be raw and more about acting.
The film is set to shoot next year during spring break with Korine writing and directing. Rachel Korine is also set to star.
