Luca Guadagnino to Direct New 'American Psycho' Film Adaptation

The upcoming film will present a fresh take on Bret Easton Ellis's novel, not a remake of the 2000 movie.

Lionsgate has chosen Luca Guadagnino to direct a new adaptation of 'American Psycho,' with Scott Z. Burns writing the screenplay.
The project is not a remake of Mary Harron's 2000 film but a new interpretation of the original novel by Bret Easton Ellis.
Guadagnino is known for his work on 'Call Me by Your Name' and 'Suspiria,' bringing a unique vision to adaptations.
Casting details for the new film have yet to be announced, but it aims to update the story for a contemporary audience.
The original film, starring Christian Bale, became a cult classic despite initial mixed reviews and was noted for its commentary on consumerism and 1980s culture.
