"Lunar Park is in some state of pre-production. This is a very funny town," chuckled Easton Ellis when we spoke with him recently. "Oddly enough, Benicio Del Toro I think is going to do it."
The casting of Del Toro is sure to raise some eyebrows because the main character in Bret Easton Ellis' novel is...Bret Easton Ellis. Lunar Park is a semi-autobiographical tale that details the early fame he received when his literary career took off in the Eighties, then blurs it with such fictional details as terrorist attacks, ghost hauntings, and a marriage to an actress.
"Benicio would actually be playing Bret Easton Ellis," the author said of his new, unlikely doppelganger. "It's a strange bit of casting."

I never read Lunar Park But I like Ellis work and Benicio Del Toro is a great actor so I will like to see how this turns out.

del Toro should be great in any part he chooses even though this one sounds rather strange.
