That's right. Less Than Zero remake is planned for 2009 by director Quentin Tarantino. May possibly end up being called

The LTZ movie was totally off from the book. It was a lame movie with good acting on Andrew and Robert's parts, but I was pulling at couch cushions and gritting my teeth just so I wouldn't ruin it for the people watching it who haven't read the book. Whoever made that so-so movie should have called the it something else and given the characters different names. The fact that a few details from the book made it into the movie ticked me off even more! Robert Downey Jr. may have done a good job as a cokehead, but who in Hollywood hasn't done coke? Gimme a break! To me, it's horrible that he almost ruined his life being involved in such a bad movie. The music was terrible, the scenes seemed alright, but the dialogue was just thrown together and the feeling was way off. Clay didn't do a line in the whole movie! They made him seem like a goody two shoes. Although, I gotta admit, it did provide some closure for me when he told off RIP THAT the book didn't do for me. That was a pretty good scene, he was intense and assertive. In the book, Clay was weak because he couldn't believe what he was seeing but, he never got up on his feet to do anything about it. He didn't care and, I think that is the point in the book. I really hope QT is an Bret Easton Ellis fan, and I hope he gets it right if the rumors are true.

I really loved the movie (and the book is one of my all time faves). However Andrew McCarthy and Jami Gertz were all wrong for the roles of Clay & Blair.
Not sure how i feel about a remake. Sometimes I dont think BEE's books translate well onto film. And yes I do like Rules of Attraction and think the film version of American Psycho is ok.
I love Tarantino, but I'm conflicted about this.
