THE BLING RING by SOFIA COPPOLA



 
I can't wait for the new Sofia Coppola's movie "The Bling Ring" based in a true story and facts that really happened.

The Bling Ring" sometimes called the "Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch", "The Burglar Bunch", or the "Hollywood Hills Burglars", were a group, mostly of teenagers based in and around Calabasas, California, who burgled the homes of several celebrities over a period believed to have been from around October 2008 through August 2009. In total, their activities resulted in the theft of about $3 million in cash and belongings, most of it from Paris Hilton, whose house was burgled several times. However, over 50 homes were reportedly targeted for potential burglary. Nancy Jo Sales, who covered the story for Vanity Fair, called the events "completely unprecedented in the history of Hollywood".

The alleged ringleader of the group, Lee lived in Calabasas with her mother. Lee and her older sister had a privileged upbringing, and she drove a white Audi A4 to school, where she was named "Best Dressed" in the 2007 yearbook. She attended Indian Hills, an alternative school, because she had been expelled from Calabasas High School, and upon graduating was awarded a creative arts scholarship. A year after graduation, she was fined and put on probation for a petty theft incident in which she and Diana Tamayo stole $85 of merchandise from a Sephora cosmetics store. According to Prugo, Lee was obsessed with reality television. Towards the end of the crime spree, Lee moved to Las Vegas to live with her father, which is where she was eventually taken into police custody. She was eventually sentenced to four years in prison. In the Sofia Coppola adaptation, Lee is to be portrayed by newcomer Katie Chang

Mal posso esperar pelo novo filme de Sofia Coppola The Ring Bling baseado em factos reais The Ring Bling, às vezes chamado de "Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch” ou os " Assaltantes de Hollywood  Hills ", era um grupo, na sua maioria de adolescentes de Calabasas, Califórnia, que assaltou as casas de várias celebridades durante um período que foi de outubro de 2008 a agosto de 2009. A suposta líder do grupo, Lee morava em Calabasas com sua mãe. Lee e sua irmã mais velha tiveram uma educação privilegiada, e Lee conduzia um Audi A4 branco para a escola, onde foi nomeada "Best Dressed" no anuário de 2007. Lee frequentou a escola  de Indian Hills, uma escola alternativa, porque tinha sido expulsa de Calabasas, e aí foi premiada com uma bolsa de artes criativas. Um ano depois da formatura, ela foi multada e colocada em liberdade condicional por um incidente de furto em que ela e Diana Tamayo roubaram US $ 85 de mercadoria de uma loja Sephora cosméticos.  A partir desse incidente criaram o The Ring Bling  donde resultaram  roubos de cerca de US $ 3 milhões em dinheiro e bens, a maior parte pertencentes a Paris Hilton, cuja casa foi assaltada várias vezes. No entanto, mais de 50 casas teriam sido alvo de potencial roubo.  Lee  e o seu grupo acabaram por ser apanhadas e Lee foi condenada a quatro anos de prisão. Na adaptação de Sofia Coppola, Lee será retratado pela novata Katie Chang.
