SYNOPSIS:
In his bestselling novels (American Psycho, Less Than Zero), author Bret Easton Ellis established himself as a modern chronicler of decadence, and a writer who reveals the dark shadows behind lives of wealth and glamour. In this new film, Ellis co-writes a script inspired by his own stories. Academy Award® winners Billy Bob Thornton (Best Adapted Screenplay, Sling Blade, 1997) and Kim Basinger (Best Actress in a Supporting Role, L.A. Confidential, 1998), Academy Award® nominees Winona Ryder (Best Actress in a Leading Role, Little Women, 1995) and Mickey Rourke (Best Actor in a Leading Role, The Wrestler, 2009) star in an interweaving tale in the tradition of Boogie Nights, which unfolds in Los Angeles: a city ruled by addictions of every type – from sex, to drugs, to power – where youth is wasted, where love is fleeting, where every night is a headlong rush to the next orgy of sensation. Sooner or later, the party has to end ...and the hangover is bound to be a killer. Also starring Chris Isaak, Brad Renfro in his final performance and hot up-and-comers Amber Heard (Pineapple Express) and Austin Nichols (TV's One Tree Hill).
The Informers is directed by Gregor Jordan (Ned Kelly, Buffalo Soldiers) from a screenplay by Bret Easton Ellis (American Psycho) and Nicholas Jarecki. Jere Hausfater (Fireflies in the Garden), Nicholas Jarecki (Tyson), Vanessa Coifman (Unthinkable) and Brian Young (The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things, forthcoming The Runaways) serve as executive producers, with Marco Weber (Fireflies in the Garden) producing.
