Horror Lionsgate developing American Psycho remake

[Silvermoth]

They should do a shared universe with different spin offs each time. Japanese Psycho, German Psycho etc

 

[Lily Adler]

You'll all change your tune when Pattinson is cast.

Oh forget it... it'll probably be Elordi.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

American Psycho is my all time favourite film and one of my favourite novels. It is a perfect adaptation. Zero reason to **** with it.

Unless you're making a movie of the musical which has literally one fan and that fan is me.

[SwordOfMorning]

Elordi is 100% the right choice though if you have to make this.

 

[Pennywise]

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

This is completely and utterly unnecessary.

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

I wasn't on board then I googled who this guy is and now I'm 100% on board.



This is complete bull**** though. The original film isn't that different from the book. It just arguably mishandled the intent of the ending.

 

[emielaen]

It's Guadagnino. He can do whatever he wants.

 

[Pennywise]

Hope they don’t try to modernize it!

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Normally, I’d say another adaptation after the first one did such a great job of being its own thing, led by Bale’s iconic performance… Probably a bad idea.

But if you asked me, the one person I’d be interested in adapting the material again? It’s Luca. So this is great, I’m sold.

 

[Pennywise]

No topping Bale’s Bateman, perfect casting!

Whoa, the book is so f'ed up that it makes the original movie look like a fun Disney romp. Adding Luca Guadagnino in the mix makes this all the more intriguing. I also wouldn't be surprised if he courts Chalamet for this, which if it happens would make it the second time that he's portrayed a role from a book played by Christian Bale in a film adaptation after Little Women.

Its really not that messed compared to what you get in the movie. Some of its toned down in the original film but not enough to matter. The only really ****ed up sequence thats missing is the rat tube. Mary Harron's film is an incredibly faithful adaptation. The notion they're completely different beasts is hyperbole at best. When I read the book in college, I was actually disappointed at how close it is considering the novel's reputation.

The rat tube alone is enough, not to mention how graphically detailed some of he murders are described in the book.

 

[emielaen]

Pattinson is up.

 

[Lily Adler]

Austin Butler. Charles Melton. Glen Powell.

Chase it, feel it?

I'm just gonna throw out David Corenswet as some bizarro world choice.

 

[Drizzle]

I'd be interested in Powell's take on this. Has he played a villain yet?

Wait, wait! I forgot he played a finance bro in TDKR. The worst of the worst!

Don't worry they get stolen by GIPHY sooner or later.

Its still not that different than what already in the original. Outside of the rat tube, what you see in that film is what you get on the page even the hard cuts where it feels like the film is omitting stuff are in the book. They're not drastically different enough to market this new one as "closer to the book." It just irritates me when remakes are promoted that way because its disingenuous. They hired a unique filmmaker to bring his unique voice to the material. That's more than enough to put my ass in a theater seat. Hyperbole about the source material isn't necessary.

I hope he pulls a suspiria remake and takes the core concepts and does his own thing with it which is what I suspect will happen.

Count me in as quickly Glen Powell stan for this version.
