As always with many news of any planned remake, the one question in your head right now could only be “WHY?” as some shocking news tonight is that Luca Guadagnino is in talks to direct an all new AMERICAN PSYCHO film for LIONSGATE.

With the 2000 film version by Mary Harron being a huge fan favourite with a star performance by Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman, the news from this is that it wont quite be a remake, but a fresh take on the source material with Scott Z. Burns writing this new version.

Oscar Nominee Guadagnino has already been involved in adapting a new horror based on a classic with his 2018 remake of Dario Argento’s Suspiria, so it be interesting to see how this develops, even if it feels somewhat unnecessary, given just how brilliant the last film was.

Both films are based on Bret Easton Ellis’s novel.
