The latest Bret Easton Ellis novel has been optioned.
Lunar Park is Ellis’ most autobiographical work so far and features the author-narrator as a narcissistic, self-pitying drug fiend who gets a shot at redemption when movie star Jayne Dennis, an old flame, offers to marry him. The deal is that he must now connect with Robby, the son he has shunned for 11 years.
Palm Star Entertainment has nabbed the rights. But there’s no director or cast attached yet.
Ellis’ novels have a history of movification – American Psycho, Less Than Zero and The Rules Of Attraction have all been released, while Glamorama continues to chug through Development Hell.
