It appears that Selena Gomez is dipping into another Mickey-less role, solidifying her catapult into adulthood. Gomez is starring with Ethan Hawke in a film titled Getaway . A photo hit the internet today with the hoodied (with baseball cap) former child-star in the front seat of a vehicle with Hawke in the pic. Also starring Jon Voight (that’s an interesting one!), Paul Freeman and Bruce Payne, the film is an Action-Crime feature that is set for release next August. OnTheFlix said it is “about a retired race car driver who tries to track down his kidnapped wife with the help of a younger female computer hacker.” Gomez mentioned that she’s filming the pic in Bulgaria. Speaking about another film she recently completed, Spring Breakers , at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, Gomez said she is eager to move on to more mature roles. When my series ended, I was invited to do a couple of films,” said the former Wizards of Waverly Place star in Toronto . “I thought the independent film route would be best for me…The biggest challenge is that I have a younger generation of fans who follow my music, shows and clothing line.” Continuing about her fans she added: “Everything I do is for them and this may not be so accessible to them. But the other side is that people put you in a box and it is a challenge for me because some may not take me seriously because of the brand I have – that I’m fortunate to have – but it’s also about doing things that I just want to do for me.” Starring James Franco and Vanessa Hudgens, that Harmony Korine-directed Spring Breakers revolves around several college girls who get arrested after robbing a restaurant in order to fund their spring break vacation. But, they’re bailed out by a drug and arms dealer who wants them to do some dirty work. [ Sources: The Playlist , OntheFlix ]
