Spring Breakers is a 2013 American thriller film written and directed by Harmony Korine, starring James Franco, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine and Gucci Mane. The film follows four college-aged girls who decide to rob a fast food restaurant in order to pay for their spring breakAccording to Harmony Korine, he wrote the film partially to make up for his own spring breaks, as he had been fully devoted to skateboarding, and therefore missed out on what he saw as opportunities for hedonistic pursuits. The original lineup for the lead girls were Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Rachel Korine, and Emma Roberts.Rachel Korine was the first to be confirmed in the project. Roberts dropped out in early 2012 due to "creative differences that couldn't be resolved." Director Korine had purposely collected a group of well-known young actresses with a similar reputation to Roberts in Hollywood.
James Franco's character in the film is based on underground rap artist Dangeruss. There was much speculation that his character was based around another rap artist by the name of Riff Raff. Speaking to the GQ magazine in May 2012, Franco said: "Of course Harmony and I looked at some of Riff Raff's videos as inspiration, but he was one of a number of people we looked at. I would say the biggest influence on the role was this local Florida rapper named Dangeruss. He's fairly unknown, but he was down there in the place, living the life, and he became the biggest model for me and he's in the movie." The film was shot in March and April 2012 in and around St. Petersburg, Florida. Skrillex has been confirmed to be producing the score for the film.
