Primarily based on the controversial e-book by Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho is a horny thriller that units forth a imaginative and prescient that’s each terrifying and chilling. Harron wrote the screenplay with Guinevere Turner.
Throughout an interview with GQ, Guadagnino was requested why he would wish to make an American Psycho remake. He replied, “Any director, in this moment, they are all developing projects. Sometimes you develop with Hollywood, sometimes you have material being handed to you by a studio, by a producer.
