The cast included young actors James Franco, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson. The film shot in various spots in Gulfport, St. Pete Beach and St. Petersburg over four weeks.

The Gulfport Police Department is the latest backdrop for the movie "Spring Breakers."
Rumor has it, James Franco is rocking dreadlocks in the film "Spring Breakers." Franco and Selena Gomez were spotted Tuesday morning in Gulfport at the Gulfport Police Department. The sealed off parking lot seemed to be the perfect fit for a police station backdrop. This is the second time the crew has filmed at the Gulfport Police Department. Last Tuesday, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson shot scenes inside the department.

Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson and Vanessa Hudgens are best gal pals on the movie set.
It seems as though Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson and Vanessa Hudgens are already enjoying their time working on the set of the new film, "Spring Breakers." Benson posted a picture to Instagram of herself, Gomez and Hudgens with the caption "Love Them." One can almost hear their young fans give a collective, "Ahhh!" Even though filming has just begun in Sarasota, Gomez has found time to grab some sun. She posted an image of herself sunbathing to her Instagram earlier today. Rumor has it that Gomez is staying at a private posh home in St. Pete, and she has been seen in the city. She will be filming beach scenes on the Pinellas Beaches, of course. James Franco, the male lead associated with the film, has yet to be seen in the Tampa Bay area. If…
