Director Luca Guadagnino is set to direct a new American Psycho movie. Guadagnino will direct the upcoming feature from a script written by Scott Z. Burns. Early reports suggest that the new film won’t be a remake instead an entirely new adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ 1991 novel.
In a statement, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson praised Guadagnino as a “brilliant artist”.
“We are thrilled to add another elite filmmaker to our upcoming slate,” said Fogelson. “Luca is a brilliant artist, and the perfect visionary to create a whole new interpretation of this potent and classic IP.”
