Who Belongs In The Shards Adaptation?

Agents, we require a finder's fee.

Calling all freaks: The Shards adaptation is in full swing. Following Luca Guadagnino’s exit from the project (after the massive success of Challengers…fair enough!), Kristoffer Borgli, who directed the beautifully whacked-out Dream Scenario and Sick of Myself, has stepped up to direct. We thought he could use some help with casting.

For the uninitiated: Set in 1981 Los Angeles, The Shards is Bret Easton Ellis’ semi-autobiographical psycho-thriller following a group of ludded-up rich kids whose lives are upended as a serial killer moves closer into their orbit. We recommended it in an earlier newsletter as one of our favorite gay panic novels.
