American Psycho

Here's a rather interesting bit of news coming from American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis regarding Lionsgate's upcoming remake of his tale of an investment banker gone batshit. It seems Mr. Ellis has some very specific casting choices in mind.

And the remake train keeps right on chugging along. Next stop: a new take on Bret Easton Ellis' 1991 satirical novel American Psycho! Excited? Confused? Bewildered? Feel the urge to check out the thickness of the paper used to make your business card?

Ladies and gentlemen ... get ready for the musical stylings of one of our country's most batshit nuts serial killers - Patriiiiiiiiiick Batemaaaaaaannnnnnnnnn!!!!! *cue applause*

Readers, it's Bateman, Patrick Bateman. You are fans so I think you should know -- I've killed a lot of people. Some girls in the apartment uptown. Some homeless people - maybe five or ten. Um, an NYU girl I met in Central Park. I left her in a parking lot behind some donut shop. I killed Bethany, my old girlfriend, with a nail gun, and some man, uh ... some old man with a dog last week.

Patrick Bateman may have been a very unhappy investment banker at Pierce & Pierce who never could get a reservation at Dorcia's, but at least he will be getting his own American Psycho Broadway musical!
