Superman, Vicki Vale and Karl Childers are THE INFORMERS!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. This one sounds pretty sweet, actually. Bizarre, but cool... like most of Bret Easton Ellis stories. So, we have Gregor Jordan (BUFFALO SOLDIERS) directing this story set in the filthy world of 1980s LA. I haven't read the book, but from a quick bit of research it seems that it's many loosely connected vignettes all taking place in the city. We have a slew of names that just got announced as being attached. Billy Bob Thornton will play a movie executive, Kim Basinger plays his wife and Brandon Routh plays a vampire who lures his victims from the nightclub scene. Kind of hidden in the trade stories is the casting of a few more people, including Ashely Olsen (I'm assuming it is indeed that Ashley Olsen... one half of the Twins), Jon Foster (Ben's brother who was in STAY ALIVE) and Lou Taylor Pucci (indie favorite... CHUMSCRUBBER, THUMBSUCKER, etc). Now, Olsen is supposedly turning in a role that is sure to make Eli Roth and the other pervs out there feel like their pants are shrinking to an uncomfortable level... She is a "sexually promiscuous girl," according to the reports. Some of the other characters in the story are a rock star and a kidnapper, so I'd assume Foster and Pucci will be in those roles. I could see Pucci as a rock star. So, interesting sounding flick. I'm curious to see Brandon Routh in a role so completely different from Supes. Thoughts?
