Bella Thorne Is Also Directing and Writing the ‘Spring Breakers’ Sequel She’s Starring In: ‘From Start to Finish, It’s Lit as F—’
Bella Thorne has said she will write, direct and star in “Spring Breakers 2”, a sequel to Harmony Korine’s 2012 cult film. The change gives Thorne creative control over a high-profile follow-up and marks an expansion of her work behind the camera after completing her directorial debut, “Color Your Hurt”.

Thorne said the producers responded positively to an early cut of “Color Your Hurt” and then to her writing, while original producers Chris Hanley and Jordan Gertner are involved; Korine is not, having said he has no interest in the sequel.
