Selena Gomez has described working on Spring Breakers as 'an actor's dream'.
While the actress was not familiar with the work of Harmony Korine at first she soon became excited about the project as it gave her the chance to improv and play with the characters
Gomez was given the Spring Breakers script by her mother and she admits that she was intrigued by her mum was so excited about this piece of work.
Speaking to Collider the actress said: "I was intrigued because I wasn’t familiar with Harmony Korine’s work, so I was interested in why my mom really loved the script.
"And then, we watched all of his movies together and I watched a couple of his interviews, and I just got extremely excited. I thought this was a great way to throw me into a huge acting camp, basically.
"It was going to be a low-budget indie. Harmony was giving us opportunities to improv, and he let us play. That’s really refreshing and rare. It was an actor’s dream, in a way."
The movie sees Harmony Korine return to work on his first full movie since Trash Humpers in 2009 and it sees Gomez team up with James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson.
This is the edgiest role for Gomez so far as she begins to move away from her Disney image.
She has also completed work on Behaving Badly and Getaway - both of which are due for release this year.
Spring Breakers is released 5th April.
