Selena Gomez is a girl gone wild in skin-baring new 'Spring Breakers' poster
Latest Harmony Korine provocation also stars James Franco and Vanessa Hudgens
Selena Gomez has come a long way from "Waverly Place."
The Disney starlet joins former "High School Musical" teen-queen Vanessa Hudgens in a racy new international poster for "Spring Breakers," the latest effort from controversial writer-director Harmony Korine ("Gummo," "Trash Humpers"). Joining in the sexy good-time fun are co-stars James Franco (playing a sleazy criminal named "Alien"), Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine (a.k.a. Mrs. Harmony Korine).
If nothing else, the colorful new one-sheet - which utilizes the healthy spray-tanned assets of its young female cast in hopes of luring in potential ticket-buyers (you know who you are) - does get its core message across with admirable aplomb. Namely: Harmony Korine is throwing a super-hot barely-legal party at the local cineplex, and you, sir, have scored an exclusive invite.
My grade for the poster: A. After checking out the candy-coated advertitillation below, be sure and rate it for yourself at top left.
"Spring Breakers" hits theaters on March 8.

don't judge wizards is coming back for one more movie, so don't just assume things if you don't know about it. you have no shame to judge someone you don't even know.

Ashley Tisdale did it. She is wholesome as ever.

January 14, 2013 at 12:09AM EST Reply to Commentdon't know what's so flippin' racy about it they are all wearing bathing suits pretty sure she's worn a bikini on one of the Disney channel shows or movies she's been on and she's not spilling out of the suit either. in fact looks like it fits like those bandu swim tops normally do

February 4, 2013 at 4:27PM EST Reply to Commentjust because shes in a more adult movie now doesn't mean anything "happened" to her. She grew up. As did Vanessa Hudgens, notice no ones sayin anything about her? It's all Selena Gomez because she was on Waverly place...Vanessa Hudgens was in all the high school musicals, but she's not "sleezy" because she's in this too? In their career, they gotta grow out somewhere. They can't stay 30 years old and still playing a wizard on disney now can they? Come on people, they grew up, you should try it sometime.
