Bret Easton Ellis is making his Directorial debut with horror film he wrote titled “Relapse”
It stars Joseph Quinn and it is about a man “ who checks into rehab after witnessing a horrific death during a debauched party. Three months later, he is set to get his life back together, staying at his parent’s mansion in the hills of Los Angeles. But things have changed around Matt and everything seems off balance.”
“Fueled by his unstable personality and the invading power of social media, Matt’s paranoia grows, messing up with his rehabilitation program. As he starts using again, a mysterious presence starts growing around Matt, and a monster that has been haunting him since he was a teenager reveals itself. His therapist tries to help, convinced that the monster is actually in Matt’s head,”

Who is cutting the checks for this thing? They must want to flush money down the toilet.

Sounds terrible, though it is probably not a good idea to tell so many details of the story in advance.

If B E E wrote it, it should have been called PROLAPSE

What kind of demons did Ellis have in his overpriced upbringing that brings such odd shit to his mind?
Was it too much coke?

A DEI hire. Hollywood needs to have at least 40% Anglo-Scots-Irish actors

Looks like he's hitting all the familiar BEE subjects. LA, drugs, ennui, rich parents and paranoia. I'm guessing the main character will be a model-georgous 21 year old who likes pussy AND dick.

Is Todd still sodomizing Bret?

I loved “Less Than Zero” and think the movie is such a fucked up adaptation. We go from a bisexual main character in the novel to that same character being straight in the film but not only straight, but SO straight that when he sees his friend pimping himself out to a man, he vomits.
I don!5 think BEE approved of that.

Totally r14. I wish someone would redo it and make it closer to the book.
It is largely forgotten, but the movie version of The Rules of Attraction is very close to the book. I love that book and I have watched the film several times. The only glitch is Shannyn Sossamon as the female lead— back when they were trying to make her a thing. Thankfully, they kept the book’s best scene.

BEE said that Rules of Attraction is the best adaptation of his work, r15. I haven't seen it but it's on my list.

It’s surprising that BEE didn’t jump on Ozempic.

Ellis looks like Philip Seymour Hoffman.

In other words, the script is based on every BEE book ever written.
Look out for ChatGPT be nominated for Best Screenplay at the Oscars next year.

I really liked “Rules of Attraction”, R17, both the book and the film.
And it has Faye Dunaway!
