Thornton, Basinger Join 'The Informers'

The Informers
Senator Entertainment has set Billy Bob Thornton and Kim Basinger for "The Informers," an ensemble drama based on short stories by Bret Easton Ellis.

The drama is set over the course of a week in 1983, in the chillingly nihilistic world of Ellis' youth in Los Angeles. Seven storylines intersect, involving movie execs, rock stars, a vampire and other morally challenged characters. Gregor Jordan ("Buffalo Soldiers") is directing.
