Bret Easton Ellis Alert!

I heard awhile back that Bret Easton Ellis' The Informers was being turned into a movie, but I only learned last night that it already has a trailer. Now, Ellis (American Psycho, Rules of Attraction) is one of my favorite authors, but the movies of his book often don't hold up (thank you James Van Der Beek for ruining one of my favorite books). So let's see how The Informers looks.

Warning: NSFW. Lots of nudity.



The Informers is a hard book to adapt, as it's basically ten short stories loosely connected by some of the same characters. Yet I spotted a surprising number of them in that trailer (though not the one where it turns out everyone is a vampire). Regardless of cohesiveness, the large collection of pretty blonde people having lots of sex in different combinations means the movie will definitely feel like Ellis. And with Kim Basinger, Winona Ryder, and Mickey Rourke, they've assembled quite the interesting cast. Here's hoping it's more American Psycho than Rules of Attraction.
