Horror Happenings! – Luca Guadagnino set to direct a remake of AMERICAN PSYCHO for Lionsgate

I don’t know how to feel about this.

One one hand, Guadagnino proved innovative when he rebooted Dario Argento’s landmark of sights and sounds, SUSPIRIA, back in 2018, but Mary Harron already gave us a keenly grotesque and funny adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ bestseller the first time around, way back in 2000.

Go check out the original article over at Variety and see what your take is on this one. One thing’s for certain: Guadagnino is going to have a tough time besting Harron’s “did-he-or-didn’t-he?” ending, which still stands as one of the strongest of its era.
