Plot Summary: In such works as "Less Than Zero" and "American Psycho," Brett Easton Ellis brilliantly dissects contemporary American society, a culture in which too much is never enough. Now, adapting his own acclaimed novel for the screen, he returns to the Los Angeles of the early 1980's with a multi-strand narrative that deftly balances a vast array of characters who represent both the top of the heap (a Hollywood dream merchant, a dissolute rock star, an aging newscaster) and the bottom (a voyeuristic doorman, an amoral ex-con).

Connecting all his intertwining strands are the quintessential Ellis protagonists—a group of beautiful, blonde young men and women who sleep all day and party all night, doing drugs—and one another—with abandon, never realizing that they are dancing on the edge of a volcano.

Filmed with uncommon glamour and grit by acclaimed Australian director Gregor Jordan ("Ned Kelly," "Buffalo Soldiers"), The Informers" is an alternately blistering and chilling portrait of hedonism run amuck.

The Informers is a book by Brett Easton Ellis, which is composed of about ten short stories. In the book, most of the stories are not intertwined, which is why I'm interested to see how the director pieced this together, considering the amount of talent they've gotten for this project.

Ellis usually themes his book around materialism, youth, sex, drugs, etc, as I'm sure you can see from the previews. Some of his other works are Glamorama, American Psycho (made into a film with Christian Bale) and The Rules of Attraction (also turned film).

I love Bret Easton Ellis' work and I really loved the film versions of American Psycho and The Rules Of Attraction. So I'm really excited to see this one. I thought the book The Informers was excellent and to have such a great cast for the film version and have Bret himself write the screenplay is just awesome!

Bret is a terrible writer and both his novels that i have read, American Psycho and Rules of Attraction, are poorly written. They are good movies and this is one of those rare occasions that if his novels were never turned into movies; we would never really know how talented he really is.
