Spring Breakers Sequel Features New Cast, No Originals

A sequel to the cult 2012 film Spring Breakers, titled Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain, has been officially announced and is being marketed at Cannes. The film features an all-new cast led by Bella Thorne, Ariel Martin, Grace Van Dien, and True Whitaker, with Matthew Bright replacing Harmony Korine as director. The story follows four rebellious girls whose spring break turns chaotic. Original producers Chris Hanley and Jordan Gertner return, but none of the original film’s stars or Korine are involved. The project replaces previous failed sequel attempts and is positioned as a bold crime thriller for Gen Z. While some fans are excited about the fresh cast, many online reactions have been skeptical or negative, questioning the necessity of a sequel.
