The dark and talented minds behind such films as Last Days and American Psycho will be bringing us one twisted tome! Director Gus Van Sant and author Bret Easton Ellis will team up to pen a feature film based on The Golden Suicides, a Vanity Fair article written by Nancy Jo Sales detailing the double suicides of artists Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake. The romantically involved couple gained notoriety in the New York and Venice, CA art scenes. Duncan was one of the first videogame designers for girls and Blake became known for his "digital paintings," kaleidoscopic images shown on plasma screens. Their paranoid downward spiral began as they increasingly believed that government and religious organizations were conspiring against them. In 2007, Duncan killed herself and Blake discovered her on their bedroom floor. One week later, he walked in the Atlantic Ocean to end his own life. We're so curious to see the result of this collaboration! Wowsa! [Photo via Patrick McMullan] Posted: October 14, 2009 at 4:30 pm Publish Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:30:46 +0100 Read more...
