Worst news I've ever heard:

We’ve heard rumblings and now the threat is real: Lionsgate is developing a new film based on the Bret Easton Ellis novel American Psycho. The studio has just hired Noble Jones to write the script. Jones seems at first like an unknown quantity, as his few IMDB credits include second-unit director on part of The Social Network, and shooting and directing the doc 10 Days Out: Blues From the Backroads. But he’s also got credits as a commercial and music video director, so it’s not like he came out of nowhere.

A few more details on the new American Psycho are below.

Variety has the news, but no real details other than the fact that Lionsgate wants a new version of the story that Mary Harron previously directed with Christian Bale in the lead role. That performance is one of Bale’s distinctive works, and in fact such a specific and iconic turn that it is really difficult to imagine anyone else playing yuppie and killer Patrick Bateman.

So it has a lower budget, a pretty much unknown writer and directer, they are ignoring the book and bringing the story forward 20 years... and to top that they obviously won't be able to get a better Patrick Bateman than Christian Bale's.

Um why? it doesnt need remade.

Christian Bale made that film a hit with the way he played the part, I hope the new one flops

If this film ever comes out, I will buy it, convert it to VHS, and return the videotape to a garbage disposal.
