Ensemble drama co-written by Bret Easton Ellis, based on his 1994 collection of short stories following the adventures of a loosely-connected group of people in 1983 Los Angeles. Movie executives, rock stars and other morally dubious characters are involved in the stories, which are generously laced with sex, drugs and violence. The cast includes Winona Ryder, Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Mickey Rourke and Brad Renfro, who died of a heroin overdose while the film was in the latter stages of production.
Billy Bob Thornton was raised in Arkansas amid a rich storytelling tradition. See, the South is just different than other places. . . . You can feel the ghosts. These stories didn't have to be made up. The characters were already there. Thus was borne his Oscar(R)-winning masterpiece Sling Blade and now The Billy Bob Tapes--based on late-night conversations with friends who gathered 'round to hear Billy mine a cave full of ghosts. Billy grew up shooting squirrels, playing drums, and dreaming of rock 'n' roll and baseball. At sixteen he met the drama teacher who first encouraged his talent. Billy recalls struggling and nearly starving in Hollywood--but also encountering compassion and wisdom from people like legendary director Billy Wilder, who advised: "Write about your interesting life." The Billy Bob Tapes tells of collaboration, friendship, and loss, while reflecting on fame, culture, filmmaking, and entertainment itself. With passion, unvarnished honesty, wry humor, and a little help from friends Angelina Jolie, Robert Duvall, Dwight Yoakam, Tom Epperson, and Daniel Lanois, Billy Bob finally talks.
