Max, the surfer with the Uzi, would be played by Robert Pattinson-furthering his descent into character acting-and none other than Al Pacino was cast as Slim’s parole office. Slim's plot includes recruiting a crew of Uzi-wielding surfers led by Max, as well as enlisting the help of Rico's cocaine-happy manager."Īs of this writing, Slim is to be played by Benicio del Toro and Rico by Idris Elba. Slim is determined to exact revenge after learning that Rico not only achieved fame and fortune but also married his girlfriend and raised Slim's son as his own. The official plot synopsis on IMDb goes like this: “An ex-con is out for revenge against a gangster rapper and former friend who let him take the fall for a robbery they committed 14 years earlier.” But later on, The Hollywood Reporter published a more detailed description of the story, and it sounds insane and insanely awesome: “Rico is at the top of his career and about to enjoy a triumphant night at the Grammy Awards when Slim is released from prison after 14 years. So, what happened? And is there any chance of us seeing The Trap? We investigate below. It has now been over a year since production on The Trap was scheduled to begin, and more than four years since Spring Breakers reconfigured Korine’s career. And then, two weeks before production was scheduled to start-“I got as close to shooting as you could be,” he once said-something went terribly wrong. Featuring a starrier cast and a crazier plot, The Trap, Korine said, was going to blow people’s minds. That project was a movie called The Trap, which Korine described as the second feature in his so-called Florida trilogy and positioned as Spring Breakers on bath salts, another gangster saga set amidst the palm trees and beaches of the Sunshine State. Suddenly, the director of cult curiosities like Gummo and Julien Donkey-Boy was an in-demand director, with some of the biggest names in Hollywood lining up to work with him on his next project. Until then, the Nashville-based director had been the enfant terrible of the indie world’s more avant-garde fringes, but with that film's iconic images of bikini-clad college girls in Day-Glo balaclavas and a nihilistic performance from James Franco at its center, the movie catapulted Korine into something resembling the mainstream. In 2013, few movies captured the zeitgeist like Harmony Korine’s sun-bleached crime mash-up Spring Breakers.
