He'll try just about anything: television dramas ('Freaks & Geeks'), soap operas ('General Hospital'), comedies ('Pineapple Express'), and big blockbusters ('Spider-Man,' 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'). His latest role, in Harmony
A group of girlfriends rob a store to fund their Spring Breaker excursion, but after they're caught, they soon find themselves in the company of an illegal arms and drug dealer who bailed them out of jail.
The buzz about Harmony Korine's 'Spring Breakers' - you know the one with James Franco with the cornrows and Selena Gomez with the bikini... - has been largely positive since it hit the festival circuit last year, and now comes the first official poster for the film, which makes it look like exactly the kind of movie you think it is.
