Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with some news that'll either run really cool or really hot for you fans of Bret Easton Ellis' work. Now, I'm a big fan of RULES OF ATTRACTION. I love the way Roger Avary translated that film, so this news is A-OK to me. It seems that Roger Avary has nabbed lifetime rights to Ellis' GLAMORAMA! I was given the heads up from Daniel Robert Epstein of SuicideGirls.com of this great interview he did with Ellis where he spills the news. The interview is a great read, so I highly recommend clicking on the link at the end of the snippet to give the whole thing a read! Enjoy!!!
Roger Avary (the Oscar winning co-writer of Pulp Fiction and director of Rules of Attraction based on Bret Easton Ellis' has taken the money he made from the Beowulf script (co-written with Neil Gaiman) and purchased the lifetime rights to Ellis' novel Glamorama.
Apparently there also exists storyboards for some scenes as well.
DRE: Is Roger Avary still doing the Glamorama movie?
ELLIS: He has the rights now for the rest of his and my life. So it?s up to Roger. Roger made a bunch of money from this Beowulf script that he sold and with that money he came to me and just made me an offer I could not refuse. Since I loved Rules of Attraction I said great. He?s written a real spellbinding script for Glamorama. I think the problem is that it?s an expensive movie to make and I think it?s topic, which is Americans committing terrorism abroad, makes it not a very popular movie in development right now. I don?t know what?s going to happen. Roger keeps saying he?s going to do it. He keeps showing me storyboards for some of the big set pieces.
