The Informers Film Trailer Up

Finally, fellow culture aficionado, the Jarecki film adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' collection of short stories, The Informers, has come to our screens, albeit not the silver screens just yet. The trailer is up here, at the movie website, including all we need to know. The cast reads like a list of anyone who's anyone in the Hollywood area; I've admired Winona Ryder for a long time since her performance alongside Daniel Day Lewis in Arthur Miller's The Crucible, and Mickey Rourke has returned from the abyss and has been receiving beguiling critical acclaim for The Wrestler, which I haven't yet seen, but anything that brings BEE to a larger audience is no bad thing. I suspect the character played by Jon Foster is Sean Bateman, infamous younger brother of Patrick Bateman, and star of Ellis' Rules of Attraction (if you're acquainted with BEE you'll know that his characters often overlap and intertwine), and Foster seems to have adopted the the role of detestably repellent anti-hero quite well, first perfected by Christian Bale. As you can tell, I cannot wait.

Re: The Wrestler. If you watch it let me know what you thought.

My opinion - weak.
