An American Psycho Remake Idea Completely Misses The Point Of The Original Christian Bale Movie
If the rumored American Psycho remake comes to fruition, its very creation would totally contradict the whole point of the original movie.
American Psycho (2000)
Based on the book of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho follows Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) an investment banker in New York in 1987 who leads a double life as a serial killer. As investigators circle Bateman after the disappearance of a colleague, he finds himself trapped in a spiral of murder and excess, unable to stop himself from giving in to his increasingly dark urges. Also stars Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Justin Theroux, and Reese Witherspoon.
