Book Vs. Movie: The Bling Ring
The Vanity Fair Article Vs.The 2013 Sofia Coppola Movie
“The Bling Ring” is a 2013 film written and directed by Sofia Coppola and is based on the true story of a group of teenagers known as the Bling Ring, who used the internet to track celebrities’ whereabouts to rob their homes. The screenplay is based on Nancy Jo Sales’ 2010 Vanity Fair article “The Suspects Wore Louboutins.“
The film follows a group of fame-obsessed teenagers in Los Angeles who track celebrities’ locations through social media and then break into their homes to steal luxury items. Our special guest for this episode is Kristen Meinzer of the Daily Fail, How to Be Fine, and By the Book podcasts!
