Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain”
Because nothing in Hollywood can remain untouched, a sequel to Harmony Korine’s 2012 fever dream “Spring Breakers” is officially underway. Titled “Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain,” the project is coming from the same producers who brought us the original — but that’s where the similarities end.
“Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain”
is the official sequel to Harmony Korine’s 2012 cult classic “Spring Breakers”.
Here’s what we know so far ¹ ²:
– New Cast: The sequel boasts an all-new cast, featuring:
– Bella Thorne, known for her roles in various films and TV shows
– Ariel Martin, star of Disney’s “Zombies 2”
– Grace Van Dien, part of the cast of Netflix’s “Stranger Things”
– True Whitaker, daughter of Forest Whitaker and star of “Godfather of Harlem”
– New Direction:The film will be directed by *Matthew Bright*, known for his work on “Freeway”, deviating from the original’s style and tone under Korine’s direction
– Storyline:The movie follows a group of rebellious girls on a chaotic spring break road trip that spirals into violence, described as “a bold new ride for Gen Z”
– Production:Chris Hanley and Jordan Gertner, producers of the original, are back on board, promising “bold, new, disruptive stories” around the theme of youth
– Release:There’s no official release date yet, but sales for the film are currently open at Cannes
It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first attempt at a “Spring Breakers” sequel. A previous project titled “Spring Breakers: The Second Coming” was announced in 2014 but never materialized. Despite this, the new sequel aims to capture the essence of the original while exploring fresh themes and ideas ¹ ³.
