Emma Watson totes gun in new Bling Rings pics

Emma Watson appears to have gone bad-ass in the latest stills released from Sofia Coppola's new film 'The Bling Ring'.

Following her seductive turn in the first trailer, which emerged last month, and coupled with her recent expletive-punctuated appearance in the trailer for 'This Is The End' with Seth Rogan, she's powering away from the image cemented by playing wholesome Hermione in the 'Harry Potter' films.

The remarkable story is based on a real-life group of fame-obsessed teenagers calling themselves the Bling Ring, who robbed the homes of the rich and famous in Hollywood in a crime spree that ran through 2008 and 2009, and hauled in $3 million in cash and belongings.

Among their victims were Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr, Megan Fox, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, who has a small role playing herself in the film.

The group would use social media to work out the schedules of their targets, to find the most likely times that they would be out.

It also stars Vera Farmiga's younger sister Taissa, Leslie Mann, Katie Chang, Israel Broussard and Gavin Rossdale.

It's due for release on June 14.
