Keep in mind that American Psycho remake we excitedly reported about? Apparently, it’s not occurring in any respect…
In November, we reported {that a} new adaption of Guess Easton Ellis’ traditional novel was within the works. Lionsgate had been mentioned to be making the mission “a excessive precedence,” with Suspiria’s Luca Guadagnino allegedly in “ultimate negotiations” to direct. Moreover, information reached the media in December that Elvis star Austin Butler would play the lead position of Patrick Bateman.
Nevertheless, based on latest statements by Ellis himself, none of that is true. Talking on his podcast, Ellis broached the topic of an American Psycho remake, clarifying that he has solely been made conscious of the mission by the press:
“I’ve a sense it’s faux information. I heard someplace, from somebody, that there aren’t any contracts. Austin Butler hasn’t signed something to play Patrick Bateman. Luca doesn’t have a deal. Scott Burns, who is meant to put in writing the screenplay, doesn’t have a deal both.”
Elaborating additional, Ellis mused that it’s doable the studio has began the rumours, in a bid to check the urge for food for the mission:
“From varied sources that I’ve, that is simply faux information that was put on the market to see how an viewers goes to react.”
Ellis closed the subject by clarifying that he’s not concerned with, nor does he help a possible remake:
“If it does exist, I’m not concerned. I’ve nothing to do with this. I would get some cash in the event that they do that, however I’m not concerned creatively on any degree, and that’s all I do know.”
So, Ellis appears to place to mattress all we’ve been listening to over the previous two months. Have we been fooled by a studio simply testing the waters? It’s doubtless protected to imagine American Psycho gained’t be receiving an replace any time quickly.
