Imperial Bedrooms Complete!

Whole bunch of news nuggets today.

Bret's new novel, Imperial Bedrooms is complete and will hit shelves in May 2010. He's also working on trying to re-unite the original case of Less Than Zero for a potential film version of Imperial Bedrooms.

Thanks to Joe McGinnis Jr. for the heads up.

After the jump are some quotes from Bret about Imperial Bedrooms.

"The cast is still around, so it would be really funny to see [them film a sequel]," he explained of the re-visit, which will be titled "Imperial Bedrooms". "And this book is pretty dramatic, in terms of how complicated the relationships have gotten in the last twenty years."

"It's in present-day," he explained. "You'll find out where all the characters from the book have now ended up, for better or for worse."

"I first thought [they'd be dead] when I started thinking about it; when I began to outline the book and figure out who's going to be around and who's not - some of the main people are going to be okay," Easton Ellis laughed. "There was some supporting cast that I realized was expendable - you knew something bad was going to happen to them. But the leads? Yeah, they kind of stuck around."

"[A second 'Less Than Zero' movie] can either be a stunt and seem really gimmicky, or it could work out. But I think it would be of interest," he explained. "Now that I'm finally done with the book I'm thinking 'God, what if Fox wants to do this as a film?' Because Fox did the original and I think there's a rights issue involved...I think it would be a great idea. We'll see."
