"Spring Breakers" Sequel Set with New Cast
Yara Sameh
A sequel to Harmony Korine's cult classic 'Spring Breakers,' which starred Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and James Franco, is coming.
The film, titled 'Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain,' comes from the producers of the 2012 original but with an all-new cast and Matthew Bright ('Freeway') replacing Korine in the director's chair.
Capture — the recently-launched joint venture between Capstone Global and Signature Entertainment — is launching sales in Cannes.
'Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain' will star Bella Thorne ('Rumble Through the Dark'), Ariel Martin ('Zombies 2'), Grace Van Dien ('Stranger Things'), and True Whitaker ('Godfather of Harlem').
The four are set to play a group of rebellious girls who hit the road for spring break in a crime thriller described as 'a bold new ride for Gen Z.' But, as per the synopsis, 'When their trip explodes out of control, they're forced to outrun the chaos they've created.'
Producers of the original feature, Muse Production's Chris Hanley ('American Psycho,' 'The Virgin Suicides') and Jordan Gertner ('Bully'), have reteamed for the sequel.
Capstone Studios serves as financiers, with global sales being handled by Capture's Ella Field, Asia Muci, Emilie Barra and Nathan Wang.
'We're thrilled to be working with Christian and Capture on 'Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain' and excited to keep exploring bold, new, disruptive stories around that wild, fever dream of youth,' said Hanley and Gertner in a statement. 'The desire for spring break to go on forever is something we've never let go of.'
Korine's 'Spring Breakers' went on to gross over $30 million at the global box office from a $5 million budget and solidified itself as a cult hit.
A sequel involving Christian extremists — 'Spring Breakers: The Second Coming' — was first announced in 2014 with Jonas Åkerlund attached and Irvine Welsh writing. By 2017, the project had been shelved in favor of a digital series that never materialized.
