Spring Breakers was a weird, weird movie starring Disney tits, Gucci Mane, creepy twins, and James Franco in what, unironically, might be his best performance. It came from Kids director Harmony Korine. So if you’re Wild Bunch Productions, and you want to make a sequel to Spring Breakers, how do you up the ante?
You hire Irvine motherfucking Welsh, the author of Trainspotting and Filth, to write the screenplay.
ScreenDaily provides this rundown of the movie’s plot:
Wild Bunch will also launch Spring Breakers: The Second Coming, in which the Spring Breakers do battle with an extreme militant Christian sect that attempts to convert them.
Of course it’s called Spring Breakers: The Second Coming. Also, I love that “Spring Breakers” is just an accepted term now. It sounds like a gang that was cut from The Warriors at the last second.
Supposedly The Second Coming won’t be a direct sequel, but will feature “allusions to characters from the original.” Here’s hoping we see Dave Franco embrace his WTF heritage and show up as Alien’s brother.
