'The Informers' Trailer Is A Bit Cloak And Dagger, And More Bret Easton Ellis News

There's something a bit funny going on with 'The Informers', the latest Bret Easton Ellis book to be made into a film. Following in the footsteps of the brilliant 'American Psycho', 'The Rules of Attraction' and the less than brilliant 'Less Than Zero', a bit of digging finds that most trailers have been taken offline, and coverage is very thin on the ground, especially for a film with a cast this good (Kim Basinger, Billy Bob Thornton, Mickey Rourke, Winona Ryder, Rhys Ifans etc and the interesting Amber Heard).

The trailer looks slick, and spot on for how I imagine an Easton Ellis social scene. Whilst both 'American Psycho' and 'The Rules of Attraction' perfectly depicted their settings, I don't think that until this point any film has truly captured the nihilistic decadence of his soul-less-rich-kid work, be it an Easton Ellis work or otherwise.

In further Easton Ellis news, there was an interesting interview, albeit a bit raw, over at Suicide Girls of all places, where apparently he has a bit of a fanbase. Furthermore, it looks as though 'Less Than Zero' is set for a remake, by Tarantino no less... this could be interesting.
