Horror Lionsgate developing American Psycho remake

[Kane52630]

Then I shall steal them for Bluesky in your honor.

 

[Lily Adler]

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

As long as we bring back Henry Golding's career.

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.

Fair enough, but it's probably a safe bet that they're not going to pull as many punches in adapting the more violent aspects of the novel with this version compared to the original movie.

As long as we bring back Henry Golding's career.

Oh, you mean the guy whose career Charles Melton is about to run away with?

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Melton and Powell, you guys are swinging for the fences.

I was thinking this gentleman to be NuPatrick:


Lyle Menendez was the perfect audition for him.

@Link already said Melton.

I would pick Sebastian Stan for Bateman even though he's much older, but he already played someone similar in Fresh.

Some other picks:

Jamie Campbell Bower
Jacob Elordi
Dylan O'Brien
Harris Dickinson
Glenn Powell
Owen Teague
Bill Skarsgård
Timothée Chalamet
Alden Ehrenreich

Isn't that the movie where he literally eats a girl's ass cheek?

He already slaughtered The Crow for Lionsgate, you want him to go two for two with this remake?

Hey he was in that one John Wick movie apparently people like for some reason.

Oh God Slim Jim have those Macho Man jerky sticks now and I can see those being a heart attack waiting to happen.

It's Keanu Reeves, that's the only reason people like those movies.

To be fair, that wasn't Skarsgard's fault. He's a great actor, that was just a bad project. He'll bounce back with Nosferatu.
That said, I can't picture him as Bateman. I feel like it's too on-the-nose after playing Pennywise and Count Orlok.

 

[Pennywise]

[Deck Rickard]

Can they cast Jared Leto as Paul Allen again just so I can watch his head get chopped off a second time?

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Yeah Cooper's hot, but wrong Menendez bro.

Again I say either Nicholas Chavez, Charles Melton or Glen Powell.

I really have to watch Monsters! Heard S2 was pretty good!

Saw the Film Twitter streets said George MacKay and that's kinda tight.

 

[Kane52630]

And the casting is finalized.

 

[Kane52630]

We're so cooked if Gen Z get their way.

 

[Pennywise]

Take it with some salt, as Sneider is hit or miss with what he reports.

 

[Deck Rickard]

I could see it, especially after Euphoria. They would have to cast a lot of other tall actors though. Bateman is a big guy but I don’t see him as the type who towers over everyone in the office.

Give everyone else shoe lifts.

Why not make elordi walk on his knees for everyone scene instead?
