Two new posters for Spring Breakers feature Selena Gomez and James Franco… in very contrasting states of dress. First, Selena basically tells Justin Bieber to eat his little heart out, as she poses in a bright blue bikini that leaves little to the imagination. Next, Franco – who plays a drug dealer in the film – crosses his arms and exposes his gun. Look for his character to take young women played Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson under his dangerous wing in the flick. Want more Selena Gomez bikini photos ? We’ve got ’em!

Forget all those “most anticipated movies of 2013” lists — there’s only one major motion picture event I can’t wait to get my mind blown by, and that’s Harmony Korine ‘s Spring Breakers . Tween idols on a crime spree, James Franco channeling Riff Raff, the ATL Twins, and love for the pop powerhouse that was ’00s-era Britney Spears … who can resist? Are we not human beings? Today Vulture ‘s got the U.S. poster debut to tease the Spring Breakers marketing wave that’s coming in the next few months, which will have me floating in a fluorescent fever of anticipation until March. Spring Breakers , which stars Ashley Benson , Selena Gomez , Vanessa Hudgens , and Rachel Korine as a foursome of coeds who decide to fund their spring break shenanigans by robbing a fast food restaurant, also reportedly has a release date of March 22 (NY/LA) via A24 Pictures. Mark. Your. Calendars. As for the new U.S. poster, there’s a decidedly more dangerous, leering sensibility here than in the previous Girls Gone Wild -party time materials and sneak peeks we’ve seen; the obscuring ski mask makes it so that you can’t tell which Spring Breaker belongs to that nubile body posing provocatively in a camera flash in the dark, exactly, and how do you feel about that, you perv? To paraphrase Godard: All you need for a movie is a girl in a Day-Glo bikini and a gun. And if you don’t know: “SPRING BREAKERS tells the story of four sexy college girls as they plan to fund their spring break getaway by robbing a fast food joint. But that’s only the beginning… At a motel room rager, fun reaches its legal limit and the girls are arrested and taken to jail. Hungover and clad only in bikinis, the girls appear before a judge but are bailed out unexpectedly by Alien (James Franco), an infamous local thug and amateur rapper who takes them under his wing and leads them on the wildest Spring Break trip in history. `Rough on the outside but with a soft soul on the inside, Alien wins over the hearts and dreams of the young Spring Breakers, and leads them on a Spring Break they never could have imagined.” Head to Vulture for the full high-res poster debut.

Oscar-nominee Josh Brolin is joining the cast of the next Sin City , joining fellow cast members Mickey Rourke , Jessica Alba , Rosario Dawson , Jaime King, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and more. Brolin will star as Dwight in the follow-up to Frank Miller’s 2005 Sin City . In the latest installment, Dwight is hunted down by the only woman he ever loved, Ava Lord, and then watches his life go straight to hell. Chronologically, this story takes place prior to “The Big Fat Kill” (featured in the film Frank Miller’s Sin City ) and explains how Dwight came to have a dramatically different face. Dame weaves together two of Miller’s classic stories with new tales in which the town’s most hard boiled citizens cross paths with some of its more repulsive inhabitants. “Dwight is a constant character throughout the Sin City world and A Dame To Kill For is a defining episode in his life. We’re looking forward to Josh’s take on Dwight,” said Rodriguez and Miller in a statement. The part of the Dame has not yet been cast and production is currently underway at Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios in Austin, TX. The film, which was developed by Miller based on his graphic novel, will be released by Dimension Films in North America October 4th.
Things had been quiet on the Fifty Shades of Grey movie front of late, as the hotly anticipated erotic fiction bestseller teased its way through development — that is, until screenwriter Kelly Marcel ( Terra Nova , Saving Mr. Banks ) spilled a tantalizing tidbit to The Sunday Times : “There is going to be a lot of sex in the film,” she said. “It will be rated NC-17 .” NC-17!? Be still, our BDSM-loving hearts! EL James’s steamy erotic lit juggernaut, about demure college grad Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, the emotionally tortured millionaire she enters into a kinky relationship with, has its fair share of sexy clinches. If you’ve read the series — or the Twilight fan fiction it started out as — you know it’s pretty much a series of sexcapades tempered by interludes of soap operatic dramarama. (For a borderline NSFW idea of what happens in the first book, check out this fantastic fan-made animated trailer . Splash !) A Fifty Shades movie without the deliciously racy sex would hardly be a Fifty Shades movie at all (seriously, we still have Skinemax to serve our softcore needs) but once Focus Features and Universal snapped up the property a proper envelope-pushing rating seemed out of reach. How can studio heads sell an erotic film franchise to the masses that nails Ana and Christian’s heated psychosexual bond onscreen as vividly as it does on the page? Common sense says be prepared for a gentler, more suggestive-rather-than-graphic Fifty Shades movie. And yet, Marcel (who “pored over” the book with James for ten days) insists that they’re going all the way to NC-17 Town on the film: “[There] is going to be a lot of sex in the film,” she says breezily. “It will be rated NC-17 [18 here]. It’s going to be raunchy.” While they are not toning it down — “We are 100% going there” — some of the sex scenes have had to be edited out in order to get some plot in. “We did go through and decide which are our favourites and which are not,” she concedes. “Most of them are in there, but I can’t say more than that.” It’s a fine thought to have, and more power to Marcel if she and James manage to penetrate the MPAA’s conservative sensibilities with Christian Grey’s, to quote from James’s tome, ” kinky f***ery .” It just sounds a bit too much like screenwriter fantasy at this point, but hey — if I’m wrong I’ll send Marcel a pair of Ben Wa balls as a mea culpa and a thank you, on behalf of Fifty Shades fans everywhere.
