Following 2023’s “Dream Scenario” and 2022’s “Sick of Myself,” Kristoffer Borgli announces his latest project: HBO’s series adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ “The Shards.” According to the official logline, it is “part teenage coming of age, erotic thriller and exploration of the untamed and mysterious era of Los Angeles 1981, tracking a group of privileged high school friends as a serial killer strikes across the city.” Ellis, the author of “American Psycho,” published “The Shards” just last year. This period drama marks a fascinating change of pace for Borgli, known for exploring themes of mass culture, recognition, and social media.
Congratulations to Kristoffer on this exciting project!
