good evening! i’m not sure why i didn’t know about this film sooner – i just saw the trailer for the informers and i was blown away – it totally looks like my type of movie! (the tagline is greed is good. sex is easy. youth is forever.) based on the book by bret easton ellis (who also penned american psycho, less than zero – i love the 1987 film and the bangles‘ version of hazy shade of winter) it’s set in 1983 los angeles (a sex & drugs fueled party scene) and stars mickey rourke, kim basinger, billy bob thornton, winona ryder, amber heard, and brad renfro (the last film he made before his death back in january of ’08) watch the red band trailer below (be warned … there’s some naked boob shots of ms. heard) the film hits theaters on april 24th – you can bet your bottom dollar i’ll be there (the film did play at this year’s sundance film festival – i’m trying not to read the reviews which were not favorable at all – i just need to go see it) popbytes over & out for now … xoxo
