Cannes Film Festival kicks off on May 15 and Sofia Coppola's flick joins 'The Great Gatsby' during the event.


Emma Watson and her sticky-fingered pals are going to bring some bling (and hopefully not steal any on their way out) to Cannes Film Festival later this month.

Sofia Coppola-directed "The Bling Ring" will premiere during the Un Certain Regard portion of the festival, the Cannes Film Festival announced on Wednesday. While "The Bling Ring" is showing at the festival, it won't be eligible for the big prize, the Palme d'Or, given that it's premiering during the Un Certain Regard.

Movie Awards Sneak Peek Week 2013: 'The Bling Ring'
Watson and her "Bling Ring" co-stars sat down with MTV News last Friday during Sneak Peek Week, where she not only dished about taking dancing cues from Beyoncé, but also revealed how she managed to get so good at pole dancing.

"[Co-star] Claire [Julien] actually taught me a bunch of moves," she said about her work in the June 14 movie release. "You have to be very physically strong to hold your own body weight, and I really didn't have that core...

If there will ever be a textbook titled “How to Keep Your Career Alive and Well After Starring in the Harry Potter Series.’
Emma Watson will probably be the one to write it. After being a highlight in the wonderful ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower,’ the former Hermione Granger will soon be seen in Sofia Coppola’s ‘The Bling Ring.’

The images below show off Watson and her posse, looking at them while they’re at work and at play.

‘The Bling Ring’ will arrive in theaters in June, but it’s highly expected to play at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

Emma Watson shows some serious sexiness on the cover of British GQ magazine’s upcoming issue. She strikes a pose as Nicki, her “amoral” character from her upcoming movie “The Bling Ring.” Hello Julia Roberts. She wears the same dress that Julia wore in her 1990 move "Pretty Woman."

Watson wears a dress on the cover not seen since Roberts wore it in the 1990 movie “Pretty Woman,” with Richard Gere. She plays a hooker who falls for a tycoon.

Watson, 22, acquits herself well. Her navel peeks through a steel ring holding the dress together while she pulls down one side to give a peek at a tattoo perilously low on her hip.
