Sofia Coppola's movies have always shown a distinct film look. She's eschewed gloss and spectacle (with the possible exception of Marie Antoinette) for intimacy and lingering images. The Bling Ring is Coppola's first digitally shot feature. The look of the film is "more Pop, as in Pop Art," she told IndieWire. In the DGA Quarterly, she explained the difference in shooting digitally:

"It feels more immediate, and since you're not limited by the film in the camera you can go on and on and have really long shots."

Based on the true-life story of several teenagers who robbed celebrities, The Bling Ring looks to push Coppola's aesthetic in the opposite direction of her last film, Somewhere -- also a contemporary story about Los Angeles but with a distinct languorous, slowed-down feeling of reality.

The Bling Ring movie opens on June 14th, 2013.
