00:04It looks like we're getting a fresh take on Patrick Bateman with Luca Guadagnino.
00:08The filmmaker is in negotiations to helm a new film adaptation for
00:12Lionsgate of the 1991 novel American Psycho.
00:15The book was previously famously adapted into the 2000 film from director Mary Herron
00:20and starring Christian Bale as the dapper investment banker
00:23slash closet psychopathic serial killer Patrick Bateman.
00:27Hey Paul! Lionsgate motion picture group chair Adam Fogelson said in a statement
00:32we are thrilled to add another elite filmmaker to our upcoming slate.
00:36Luca is a brilliant artist and the perfect visionary to create a whole new interpretation
00:41of this potent and classic IP. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.
00:46The filmmaker most recently helmed the Zendaya starring sports drama Challengers
00:50which opened at number one at the box office over the summer and his current
00:53film Queer starring Daniel Craig will be released by A24 on November 27th.
