Selena Gomez has signed on to star in indie filmmaker Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers, starring opposite James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens and Emma Roberts.

The film centers on a group of female college students who rob a restaurant in order to fund their Spring Break vacation, eventually landing in jail and becoming involved with a drug dealer.

"It's a different character than I have ever played before," Selena Gomez told MTV. "It's a different kind of vibe than people are used to seeing me in. It's going to be raw and more about acting."

No production date has been set.
