Date:

#26. The Informers

Director:
Gregor Jordan
Writers: Nicholas Jarecki

Producers: Marco Weber (Igby Goes Down)
Distributor: Senator International

The Gist: Based on the Bret Easton Ellis 1995 novel, this is a collection of connected short stories set in 1983 Los Angeles and featuring movie execs, rock stars, a vampire and other morally challenged characters in tales highlighted by sex, drugs and violence.

Fact: Three of Ellis’ novels — “American Psycho,” “Less Than Zero” and “The Rules of Attraction” — have been made into films.

See It: B-E-Ellis fans are looking forward to this, cinephiles will be noting Brad Renfro’s last performance and this red carpet will see an eclectic bunch of actors who’ve managed to grab attention for their public lives.

Release Date/Status?: Now in post-production, new kid on the block distributor Senator have yet to set a date for this ensemble.
