As a seasoned cinephile with a penchant for the dark and twisted, I find myself both intrigued and apprehensive at the news of an American Psycho reboot. Having read Ellis’ novel in my youth, I can attest to its chilling impact and the sheer audacity of its content. The original adaptation was a masterful piece of filmmaking that left me with a sense of unease long after the credits rolled.
Brett Easton Ellis’ 1991 novel, “American Psycho,” caused quite a stir with its extreme controversy. It was a biting satire set in the ’80s, featuring Patrick Bateman, a Manhattan banker turned serial killer, whose gruesome chapters were juxtaposed with intellectual discussions about iconic ’80s albums like Huey Lewis and the News’ “Hip to be Square. The novel’s violence seemed to make it unsuitable for film adaptation, but director Mary Harron successfully brought it to life, casting Christian Bale in the lead role, who gave an outstanding performance. Now, there are rumors of a reboot for American Psycho.
In this upcoming movie, Luca Guadagnino will be directing, as Scott Z Burns pens the script. Unlike a remake, Guadagnino’s film is said to be a new interpretation of Ellis’ novel. Given the success of graphic violence in films like Terrifier 3, it may not shy away from being as intense or gruesome as the book. Notably, Guadagnino has experience with horror, having directed the cannibal horror film Bones and All. The studio has been trying to adapt this book for some time, and after meeting with Guadagnino, executives believe he is ideal for offering a fresh perspective.
It’s uncertain who will star as the lead in the upcoming American Psycho remake, but since the director has collaborated extensively with Timothée Chalamet, he seems like a strong candidate for the role of Bateman. Filming is expected to start next year.
