EXCLUSIVE: Watch Kip Pardue and James Van Der Beek Update The Famous Rules of Attraction Montage
When Movieline recently interviewed Bret Easton Ellis about the cinematic adaptations of his novels, he singled out Roger Avary's Rules of Attraction as his favorite. The most acclaimed part of that film was the stream-of-consciousness montage chronicling the hedonistic European trip of Victor Ward (Kip Pardue), and this month, Pardue and James Van Der Beek got together to create a semi-sequel to the clip that pays homage to Ellis's novels (including his new book, Imperial Bedrooms) and all the films based on them.
Conceived, shot, edited and screened in under 10 days, the short debuted last week at the Largo in Los Angeles. This is its internet debut, and if you think that's a fast turnaround, it is -- in fact, it still doesn't have a name! For that, you can head to breteastonellis.com to suggest your own title.

If this is the closest I'll ever get to an adaptation of Glamorama, I'm in.
Love. It.
God, I hate hipsters.
I'm just waiting for our own Victor Ward to weigh in.
WE GET IT, Bret Easton Ellis, you're either a shallow vapid pig, or like to write about them! Please move on to some new subject matter.
This was great - a movie this fast n' demented could be a riot
If you were paying attention, you would see that Bret Easton Ellis was not listed on any of the credits and therefore had no involvement in actually creating this. So, like, shut up.
The epitome of the void of hollywood. Worthless.......
I agree with Callo...if this is the closest we'll get to a Glamorama film, then I say...rock'n'roll...
