The 19-year-old actress has signed on to appear in Spring Breakers from Harmony Korine, the writer behind the dark 90s classic Kids. In the upcoming flick, Gomez stars as a college girl who robs a restaurant with pals in hopes of funding a spring break trip.

"It's a different character than I have ever played before," an "excited" Gomez -- whose last film was the 2011 teen comedy Monte Carlo -- told MTV News. "It's a different kind of vibe I think than people are used to seeing me in. What you're going to see is more raw, I think. It's going to be raw and more about acting."

James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens and Emma Roberts costar in the flick, set for a 2013 release.
