Noted author Bret Easton Ellis is teaming up with director Gus Van Sant to write the screenplay foe the pic "The Golden Suicides" says Variety.Based on a Vanity Fair article, the story follows the incidents leading up to the double suicide of popular digital artists Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake.
The couple descended into a paranoid spiral when the artists developed a consuming notion that according to friends-- “they were being stalked and harassed by followers of Scientology. who were ”conspiring against them". She killed herself in 2007. Blake found her body on the floor of their bedroom, and walked into the Atlantic Ocean one week later, ending his life. His wallet and suicide note found on the beach.
Van Sant is only slated to write the pic for now....
This fascinating yet tragic tale should make for in testing cinema. I'm betting that Van Sant ends up directing as well
