Emma Watson - Change Of Direction For Emma Watson As She Takes On Bling Ring Role

Emma Watson exposed a little more than people may have expected to see, as she was spotted filming scenes for the upcoming Sofia Coppola film The Bling Ring. In a story stemming from the Daily Mail, the 21-year-old star was seen on set sporting a tiny pair of Daisy Dukes alongside an equally tiny lace midriff top. In this startlingly un-Hermione turn, the Harry Potter actress filmed scenes along the boardwalks of Venice Beach in Los Angeles, topping off the outfit with a pair of snakeskin stilettos, a cropped leather jacket and a sprawling tattoo across her lower back that had been painted on especially for the role.

The film sees Watson star alongside Leslie Mann and TAISSA FARMIGA, who play her mother and younger sister respectively. The film chronicles the 'Bling Ring' - a group of fame-obsessed teenagers who stole from the homes of numerous celebrities around the Los Angeles area during 2008 and 2009. Watson tries her hand at being a bad girl who, inspired by her ex-Playboy model mother lessons that achieving fame is the most important thing in the world, stole from the likes of Orlando Bloom and Paris Hilton by using the internet to know when the houses would be empty. Inspired by true events, the film is slated for a release date sometime next year.
