NEW YORK (TheWrap.com) - A24 will release Sofia Coppola's 'The Bling Ring' June 14 and James Ponsoldt's Sundance hit is set for 'The Spectacular Now' August 2, the independent distributor announced on Thursday.
A24 acquired both projects in January - 'The Bling Ring' on the eve of Sundance and 'Spectacular' after it screened well at the Utah-based festival.
Coppola's film stars Emma Watson as one member of a group of real-life kids who tracked celebrities' whereabouts in order to rob their homes. They stole more than $3 million of goods from the likes of Paris Hilton.
Coppola wrote and directed the film based on Nancy Jo Sales' Vanity Fair article, 'The Suspects Wore Louboutins.'
Ponsoldt's film stars Miles Teller as Sutter, a high-school senior who refuses to think about his future as those around him begin to plan for college and the next phase of their lives. After breaking up with his girlfriend, he meets Aimee (Shailene Woodley), a sweet, hard-working girl whose life contrasts with his own more hedonistic approach.
'(500) Days of Summer's' Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber wrote the script.
A24 launched publicly last August and just released its first movie, Roman Coppola's 'A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III.' It will open two more in March, 'Ginger & Rosa' and 'Spring Breakers,' before turning to these two summer titles.
