After the Franchise

The career problem this record describes is the one every franchise lead faces: what to do after the trilogy that made her a household name. The answer given here is range — critical acclaim for Bandslam in 2009, family adventure in Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, and then the deliberate break of Spring Breakers (2013), a film focused on drug use and sexual activity, promoted with the song “$$$ex”, and Machete Kills for Robert Rodriguez. The V letter also keeps a small period detail: a past article from April 2, 2009 recording Hudgens as a celebrity fan of Ella Moss, spotted wearing Ella Moss Black Label — the kind of single-sighting fashion note this section was built to collect.
