Horror Lionsgate developing American Psycho remake

[DorkyFresh]

This announcement makes a Starship Troopers remake look justifiable in comparison...

 

[Asgard]

Doesnt make financial sense.

 

[Lasirius]

Doesn't make any sense at all. The movie is not even old, it's pretty close to the book, and it's great. I say, give it a chance for other people to see it first!

 

[RKO]

Really Lionsgate?

 

[PSYLENTGuardian]

It's going to be really, really hard to top Christian Bale.

 

[bullets]

Doesn't make any sense. Although it stands a chance of being better than American Psycho 2 .

 

[Compi716]

 

[Lasirius]

If they do go through with this, Kermit for Bateman.

 

[Hush]

Absurd Idea.

Jesus Christ, this is the most ridiculous thing i've heard since........they decided to make Starship Troopers! Seriously WTF is going on in Hollywood?

 

[Dave McFly]

I have to agree with Spock there

I dont understand it, the movie originally kind of came and went financially and wasnt really a big box office smash but had a huge following afterwards on dvd over the past 10 years. So are they remaking this in hopes that it will hit big and lead to a new franchise? If so thats just an idiotic way of thinking. Instead of the 10-20 million the studio is gonna spend to have this made why dont they give me the money and Ill quit my job and crank out about 20 million original ideas for them because clearly they are out of them.

This isnt hard studio execs, create original ideas and stop trying to redo someone elses hard work from before you arrived. Were getting remakes now less then 10 years old and some are still so fresh you dont know if theyve been recieved as classics yet. Just leave the past alone, I dont need or ever asked for remakes of :

The karate kid
Nightmare on elm street
Halloween
Friday the 13th
Prom night
Total recall
The wicker man
The wolfman
Footloose
The list goes on. Im sick of people with millions to blow redoing the past how they see fit. The problem is they remake great old films and dress them up with crap and the younger dumber kids today eat it up like there instant classics. Is it too hard to have a year in hollywood where there isnt a single remake or one talked about being done?

 

[Rac]

What a swell idea.

 

[Grillz]

So every other movie is remake now? Geez, this movie is only 11 years old right now and Lionsgate wants to remake it. It really ticks me off that some jerk-off of a writer thinks they can make it big if they remake already good movies. What's next? A remake of Scarface? Starship Troopers? A remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake?

... I just thought of something, Lionsgate releases Tyler Perry films... What if that movie with Kim Kardashian is a front for: Lionsgate presents Tyler Perry Presents Tyler Perry in Tyler Perry's American Psycho? If that's the case I might see it.

 

[Jackasscoley15]

Why don't they just re-release it?

 

[Pennywise]

Why?

 

[Drizzle]

What in the fresh hell is up with that top right picture in the tweet? I can't tell if it's AI or some weird filter.

 

[Arachnerd]

It's a photoshopped meme pic of Bateman as a Giga Chad basically.

Anyway, what's the point of remaking this?

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Why?

That just makes no sense.

 

[3rdstone]

I was hoping this idé had died.

 

[Hurm...]

Terrible idea.

 

[Daywalker89]

Can't work in todays climate, the incels and misogynists will be propping it up like jesus himself, I personally love the original and Bale is stand out but films like this and its explicit themes will cause alot of unwanted attention from both sides of the fence.

Sick of Hollywood's pointless bull**** of remaking films that just need to be kept in the era they were made in especially one like this, christ!

 

[Boom]
