Spring Breakers 2 sparks backlash as first look at cast is revealed
A sequel to the controversial 2012 film Spring Breakers is on the way and it is set to star Bella Thorne. The original, directed by transgressive filmmaker Harmony Korine, follows four college girls as they rob a diner to fund a trip to Florida for Spring Break. The R-rated flick starred James Franco, Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens. Now, more than a decade later, a sequel titled Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain, will be directed by Harmony Korine and heading up the cast is former child star Thorne. She is joined by social media star Baby Ariel and Netflix star Grace Van Dien, best known for Greenhouse Academy and Stranger Things. Several social media users have reacted negatively to the news, with one commenting: 'We don't need this.' Another wrote: 'It's giving straight to dvd.' A third said: 'Why? Nobody even remembers this movie. It's not Mean Girls!' Despite Korine and the original cast not returning for the sequel, the producers of the original feature, Muse Production's Chris Hanley and Jordan Gertner, are back. In a statement they said: '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. 'The desire for spring break to go on forever is something we've never let go of.' The original Spring Breakers premiered at film festivals in 2012 before receiving a wide release the following year. It grossed over $30million on a $5million budget, making it a huge financial success. Despite receiving mixed reviews at the time, the film went on to achieve cult status and was credited for establishing Gomez as an adult actress. Gomez had the role of Faith, a young woman who tries to devote her life to Christianity but at the same time is also friends with the three party girls.

Shailene Woodley and Lucas Bravo take next step in new romance: Instagram soft launch
Shailene Woodley and 'Emily in Paris' heartthrob Lucas Bravo are Instagram official, even if it may not look like it upon first glance. The pair of actors soft-launched their relationship in separate posts documenting their recent trips to multiple Southern California destinations. Woodley, 33, and Bravo, 37, first sparked romance rumors in March when they were spotted getting cozy with each other during a stroll in Paris. On Wednesday, Bravo posted a carousel of photos and videos capturing his time at the Stagecoach festival in Indio and his views during a pit stop at the vibrant landmarks of Slab City. Bravo included photos of his hand holding Woodley's, snaps of the 'Fault in Our Stars' actor with friends at Stagecoach and pictures of the environmental activist sitting and standing among Salvation Mountain's eclectic artworks. Woodley on Sunday offered her take at a soft launch and added some 'Star Wars' flare. The 'Big Little Lies' actor shared her own Instagram carousel of photos of a recent trip to Disneyland, specifically the attractions in the park's Galaxy's Edge area. 'May the 4th be...' she captioned her photos of the park's large set pieces, intricate facades — and a picture of Bravo walking in front of the Millennium Falcon. In true soft-launch fashion, neither of the actors tagged the other nor made their romance the focal point of their respective posts. Woodley and Bravo have kept their romance low-key for the most part, but in an April interview with People, the latter said 'I'm really happy' about the new relationship. 'Divergent' star Woodley was previously engaged to NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers. That engagement broke off in February 2022.
