I need to start by apologizing. I actually spotted this trailer yesterday but didn’t post it because I was confused and thought it was a trailer for another Mickey Rourke film which didn’t look particularly interesting.

When we posted the first cut trailer for The Informers, we were asked to remove it (the studio obviously thought it didn’t look good enough) but they’re now in full promotional swing and have released a brand spanking new and shiny trailer for the film which stars Winona Ryder, Mickey Rourke, Kim Basinger, Billy Bob Thornton and Brad Renfro and directed by Australian helmer Gregor Jordan.

Adapted from Bret Easton Ellis’ novel about the 80’s, music, fashion, drugs and over consumption (did Ellis ever write about anything else? I love him for it) this new trailer certainly suggests we’re in for a trip down memory lane (if your memories involve sex, kidnapping and snorting coke off of bathroom counters). Anyway you cut it, I simply can’t say no to a trip into the synthpop soundtracked world of 80’s highlife. I’m breaking out the shoulder pads and hair spray for this one. Wonder if my bangs will cooperate?

The Informers is scheduled to open on May 1st.

Trailer is tucked under the seat (Updated with our own copy of the trailer), but be sure to check out an additional clip over at Cinematical.
