Check out this interesting-looking cast.
This film project brings together some interesting folks: Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Ashley Olsen, Brandon Routh, Jon Foster and Lou Pucci are all set to star in The Informers, based on a collection of short stories by Bret Easton Ellis.

What's it about?
Well, in typical Ellis fashion (this is the man who penned American Psycho and Rules of Attraction), I'm betting on a healthy dose of rape, drug use and general depravity. Variety describes the plot thusly: "The drama is set over the course of a week in 1983, in the chillingly nihilistic world of Ellis' youth in Los Angeles. Seven storylines intersect, involving movie execs, rock stars, a vampire and other morally challenged characters."

Ashley Olsen? Really?
Molly thinks this is a mistake, that reporters on this story are mixing up Ashley and Mary-Kate. If this turns out to be true, it will be pretty amusing.

    NO. WAY.

    I always get excited when I see Bret Ellis' name dropped for something. I liked the American Psycho adaptation. The book was a bit better, of course. Not sure how they are going to adapt his short story collection into a movie, but when I think about it, the book's stories all kind of connect in their own way and I think it would play out better on the big screen than it did on the page.

    And either of the Olsen twins would be perfect in an Ellis story - skinny, on drugs (or look like they might be), rich, interesting love lives. Yeah, I'm excited for this.

    I am a HUGE fan of his books,(and have read them all) but I never really like any of the movie adaptations. American Psycho was ok,(only b/c of Christian Bale) but Ellis' books are soooo dark. It's hard to portray his charachters with any sort of depth in a 2hr format. But I love the way Ellis exposes how detached from reality the young and wealthy are...I'm interested to see how Ashley Olsen plays that part on screen.
