Next For Ellis: Imperial Bedrooms?

So a couple weeks ago I received a copy of The Delivery Man by Joe McGinniss Jr. and as I'm prepping to write a review of it last night (I'm about 1/3 thru with the book currently - its excellent so far) and I come across this review in the Washington City Paper that happened to include a huge tidbit of Bret Easton Ellis News.

Like Ellis' 1985 novel about Los Angeles party kids, Less Than Zero, The Delivery Man's title was inspired by an Elvis Costello song. (So was Ellis' forthcoming novel, a Less Than Zero sequel titled Imperial Bedrooms.)

During the book tour for Lunar Park, Ellis consistently gave the answer that a sequel to Less Than Zero was likely his next project. So now that we've got a title, what do you think of the idea of a sequel?

Informers Cast Member Dies

Brad Renfro died this morning, likely of a drug overdose. He had been filming a part for The Informers, but I'm not sure if he finished everything that needed to be done. This may cause the need for some re-shoots if there were unfinished scenes.

UPDATE: Renfro's death is now confirmed as a heroin & morphine overdose.
