Not much is known about director Luca Guadagnino‘s remake of American Psycho at present, and the directors latest interview continues to keep us all guessing what’s in store for fans of the original film.
In a new interview with the folks over at GQ Magazine this week, the source asked Guadagnino why he would want to remake American Psycho, in which he answered by saying:
“Any director, in this moment, they are all developing projects. Sometimes you develop with Hollywood, sometimes you have material being handed to you by a studio, by a producer. And I think all of us do make two, three, four, five, six, seven developments…”
He added, “Bret Easton Ellis is one of the greatest American writers alive.”
The original American Psycho has the following synopsis:
“Patrick Bateman is a young, handsome, Harvard educated Wall Street success, seemingly perfect with his stunning fiancé and entourage of high-powered friends. But his circle of friends doesn’t know the other Patrick Bateman, the one who lusts for more than status and material things. With a detective hot on his trail and temptation everywhere, Patrick Bateman can’t fight his terrible urges that take him on the pursuit of women, greed and the ultimate crime – murder! Based on the controversial book by Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho is a sexy thriller that sets forth a vision that is both terrifying and chilling.”
Last we heard, Austin Butler had been cast as the new Patrick Bateman.
Dark Nation will keep you posted on the development of the new American Psycho remake.
