Bret Easton Ellis is an author, not a movie marketer.
So forgive him for not playing by the rules in new Q&A.
Ellis, the mind behind “Less Than Zero” and “American Psycho,” co-wrote the script for “The Informers,” a new film based on his short stories centering on L.A. circa 1983.
The film is a clunker, and Ellis seems to know it.
Here’s his take on the creative process behind the movie in a revealing chat with The Onion:
The Onion: The tone of “The Informers” is really funereal. This isn’t a terribly funny movie.
BEE: No, and the script was really funny (laughs). So what do you do? This is why the screenwriter should never be interviewed when a movie’s premiering. This really should be the director’s job, because it’s a director’s medium.
