The return of Patrick Bateman is coming. According to reports from Jeff Sneider aka The Insneider, Lionsgate is planning a modern remake of American Psycho.
The movie American Psycho (2000) by director and co-writer Mary Harron, was based on the novel written by Bret Easton Ellis in 1991, with Christian Bale playing the lead role as Patrick Bateman, a wealthy New York investment banking executive who hides his alternative psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends, while delving into his violent hedonistic fantasies.
This film, considered a cult classic, gave way to a sequel distributed directly to video (direct-to-video), American Psycho 2 (2002), a story initially unrelated to the original film, which became a sequel to American psychopath. Mila Kunis starred.
For the new version, moviegoers are asking for the signing of Jacob Elordi as protagonist. Elordi is known mainly for his role in the series Euphoria from HBO. In 2023 she released the films Saltburn of Emerald Fennell, y Priscilla by Sofia Coppola.
SYNOPSIS:
It is the late 1980s. Patrick Bateman, a twenty-seven-year-old Wall Streeter, moves among a closed network of proverbially beautiful people, that closed network in which only they are capable of allowing others like them to enter with a feeling of superiority. Patrick has a routine morning regimen to keep him looking attractive and in shape. He, like those in his network, is vain, narcissistic, egomaniacal and competitive, always having to surpass others in this presentation of himself, but he, unlike the others, realizes that, for him, everything Those are masks to hide what is really underneath, someone/something of an inhuman nature. In other words, he is composed of a human-like shell that contains only greed and disgust, greed for wanting what others may have and disgust for those who do not meet his expectations and for himself for not being the first or the best. . That disgust ends up manifesting itself in wanting to rid the world of those people, not seeing them as people but only those characteristics that he wants to get rid of.
The main cast was made up of Bale, Justin Theroux, Josh Lucas, Bill Sage, Chloë Sevigny, Reese Witherspoon, Samantha Mathis, Matt Ross, Jared Leto, Cara Seymour, Guinevere Turner y Willem Dafoe.
Harron and Turner co-wrote the screenplay based on Ellis' novel.
The original film is available on Prime Video in Mexico and the rest of Latin America.
