James Franco in dreads is hottest thing in official Spring Breakers photos

I knew he was a part of the cast but I wasn't all that convinced that James Franco's involvement in SPRING BREAKERS could overshadow that of the bikini clad young co-stars of his, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine (she of the pink hair), wife of the movie's writer and director, Harmony Korine (he was the writer for the cult movie of the '90's, KIDS, as well as the director behind the beautifully bizarre GUMMO.). Putting the pieces of the puzzle together and looking past the bared stomach flesh of the young Disney tarts, I'm thinking that this movie might very well be the weird and wonderful project that none of us guessed it would/could be. And that makes me oddly happy, seeing as how I've felt burnt out constantly posting updated set shots of these actresses. I'm actually curious to watch this now. (FYI: Korine's 2007 movie, MISTER LONELY, is a cool watch too.)
