Rose McGowan In Glamorama?

This little article is from June of 2003, so it may be shit at this point, but it says that both Rose McGowan and Shannon Doherty have signed on for Glamorama.

Rules Of Attraction Needs More Love

There's so little info out there on Ellis' new book right now, that we're reduced to chatting about the movie adaptations. Anyhow, The Rules of Attraction has made it onto CHUD's list of 100 Movies That Deserve More Love :

Roger Avary’s contribution to the success of Pulp Fiction will probably never be fully recognized, and so it’s to his credit that he’s not spent the following years trying to be another Quentin T. Instead he turned out Killing Zoe (another movie that could easily be on this list) and – after several years as a script doctor and producer – turned to the work of Bret Easton Ellis for this snarling, hallucinogenic swandive into the grubby moral quagmire of selfish, horny students at a liberal arts college. James Van Der Beek is the standout star, throwing off his Dawson niceness to portray Sean Bateman (brother of American Psycho Patrick) as a shark-eyed emotional monster, riding roughshod over the feelings of those around him and dicking anything that moves.

The Defense: The American Trainspotting is a stupid and crass simplification of this movies appeal, but – hey – it works. Savagely exciting stuff.

'Rules' has also just been released in theatres in Italy. The official Italian site is here.
