Last week we got the news Jonas Akerlund (Spun) was planning on directing Spring Breakers: The Second Coming, an unofficial sequel to Harmony Korine‘s dubsteppin’ original with a screenplay from Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting). I didn’t report on it because it sounds terrible. The original cast isn’t returning and the story follows “the Spring Breakers doing battle with an extreme militant Christian sect that attempts to convert them.”
The key, of course, is Korine isn’t involved and James Franco, who starring in the original as Alien has now weighed in with his thoughts with the following Instagram video (via The Playlist) accompanied with the following comment, “ALIEN IN REHAB! And BTW F*** that SBers 2 BS, they’re doing it without HARMONY’s CONSENT. Sounds LAME AS A MUTHA!”
Lookin’ good James!
You interested in a sequel without the vision of Korine, at the very least… involved?
