According to this Swedish interview with BEE, Kristoffer Borgli (“Dream Scenario”), Luca Guadagnino & Bret Easton Ellis himself are all set to direct the highly anticipated HBO series "The Shards"
"The Shards" is being developed as we speak, written by Ellis, and based on his own novel. The book is a fictionalized memoir of Ellis' final year of high school in 1981 Los Angeles. Jacob Elordi is rumored to star, but there’s been no confirmation on his casting.
Guadagnino already collaborated with HBO on the miniseries "We Are Who We Are". The idea is for “The Shards” to have three seasons of ten episodes each and Ellis will be writing them all. The author mentioned that there would be subplots in the series that weren’t in his novel.
Meanwhile, Ellis, American author, screenwriter, short-story writer, director, always has always pushed buttons in our cultural. After all, this is the man who created “American Psycho” and Patrick Bateman, a work and character of transgressive art that warned us about consumer culture.
