The film, which derives its title from an alternate label for “millennials,” follows “a group of disillusioned twenty-somethings, who use the city as their playground by breaking into the homes of the richest citizens, stealing from the rich and giving to themselves.” A press release touts it as being based on a true story, but it’s unclear if that story is the same one dramatized in The Bling Ring, which took inspiration from a Vanity Fair article by Nancy Jo Sales. Of course, Coppola’s film was explicitly about celebrity, while this one seems to find its cast ransacking the homes of normal, non-famous rich people, so we’re probably looking at something altogether different.
Regardless, the cast is impressive. Rising stars Nick Robinson (Love, Simon), Britt Robertson (Girl Boss), and Alex Pettyfer (Elvis & Nixon) will likely play the aforementioned twentysomethings, while Oscar nominee Michael Shannon will be the one croacking at them to get off their gosh-darn phones.
