American Psycho gets small budget remake
By Alexandra Heilbron on December 9, 2011 | 4 Comments
Noble Jones, whose only film credit is working as a second-unit director on The Social Network, has been given the go-ahead by Lionsgate to write a remake of the 2000 cult classic American Psycho, which starred Christian Bale as a serial killer. The new film will be a low budget remake and will be updated to modern day New York, rather than the 1980s Wall Street setting of the 1991 novel by Bret Easton Ellis. The film gained Bale much critical acclaim, but it’s unclear why any studio believes a low budget remake would be a good idea, since the original American Psycho, though now a cult classic, didn’t do well at the box office, making just $15 million in total.
