Bret Easton Ellis’ The Informers has just had two new additions to it’s already impressive cast. Billy Bob Thornton and Kim Basinger have joined Brandon Routh, Austin Nichols, Ashley Olsen, Jon Foster and Lou Pucci in the big screen adaptation of The Informers.

If you haven’t heard of Bret Easton Ellis, you’ve undoubtedly seen a movie based on his books: American Psycho, Less Than Zero, The Rules of Attraction. In my eyes the man is a genius and I’m so excited about this movie.

Gregor Jordan (Buffalo Soldiers) is attached to direct a screenplay which was written by Nicholas Jarecki and Ellis.

The Informers was first published in 1995 as a collection of loosely connected short stories that captures a week in Los Angeles in 1983. The stories feature movie executives, rock stars, a vampire and various morally challenged characters in adventures laced with sex, drugs and violence.
