1 | * BillingDisplacement: Katie Chang is billed before Israel Broussard, despite Marc being more prominent than Rebecca. |
2 | * DawsonCasting: Averted, with the exception of Creator/EmmaWatson, who is in her early 20s; the actors playing the other members of the Bling Ring are in their teens (and Katie Chang was only 16 when the movie was shot). |
3 | * DisownedAdaptation: Alexis Neiers slammed the film for inaccuracies. |
4 | * DuelingMovies: This movie had the unfortunate situation of being released at the same time with ''Film/SpringBreakers'', another movie that shows the moral decays of teenage girls; that movie ended up doing better critically. Both were also released by Creator/{{A24}}. |
5 | * EnforcedMethodActing: |
6 | ** Sofia Coppola got the actors playing the teens to fake-burgle a house before filming and see what mistakes they would make. |
7 | ** Emma Watson listened to Music/BritneySpears's ''Femme Fatale'' album over and over to get into the mindset for her character. |
8 | ** Israel Broussard watched ''Series/KeepingUpWithTheKardashians'' and ''Fashion Police'' to get into character. |
9 | * FakeAmerican: The English Emma Watson as Nicki. |
10 | * OneBookAuthor: Claire Julien who plays Chloe has just one short and a tiny part in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' to her resume aside from this, and has not acted since. |
11 | * PlayingAgainstType: |
12 | ** At the time of the film's production, Creator/EmmaWatson was primarily known for playing the BrainyBrunette character of Hermione Granger in ''Film/HarryPotter'', and an assortment of good-natured [[TheWoobie woobies]] in other roles (''Literature/BalletShoes'', ''{{Film/Noah}}'', ''Literature/ThePerksOfBeingAWallflower'', etc). Here, she plays a vapid ditz who steals, smokes and drinks. |
13 | ** Creator/SofiaCoppola ''doesn't'' go against type here, but rather just does the inverse of some of her other films. Whilst Film/{{Marie Antoinette|2006}} cannot cope with the attention she receives, and [[Film/LostInTranslation Bob Harris]] cannot cope having lost people's attention, the teenagers (especially Nicki) desperately ''want'' the attention and fame of celebrity. |
14 | * PromotedFanboy: Emma Watson was a big fan of director Sofia Coppola. |
15 | * ThrowItIn: |
16 | ** Creator/KirstenDunst made an unplanned visit to the set to say hi to Sofia Coppola, and she was then given an unscripted cameo. |
17 | ** The scene where Marc dances in front of the webcam only came about because Sofia Coppola found a video of Nic Prugo doing the same. |
18 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: Sofia Coppola considered cutting TheOner of the burglary in the glass house. She was persuaded to keep it in, and it became the most celebrated shot of the film. |
19 | * WinBackTheCrowd: ''The Bling Ring'' helped Sofia Coppola begin to return to some degree of respectability after ''Film/MarieAntoinette2006''. |
