The book follows the author-narrarator as an narcissistic, self-pitying drug fiend who gets a shot at redemption when movie star Jayne Dennis, an old flame, offers to marry him. The deal is that he must now connect with Robby, the son he has shunned for 11 years. Apparently among the unsettling events plaguing his life is the appearance of what appears to be a real-life incarnation of his fictional Bateman character.

NBC’s adaptation of “The Sixth Gun” graphic novels has found its lead. Deadline reports that The Ruins and No One Lives‘ Laura Ramsey, pictured left, will star in the Carlton Cuse-produced pilot. Written by Ryan Condal, directed by Jeffrey Reiner and produced by Uni TV, ““The Sixth Gun” is a supernatural Western which follows the story of six mythical guns, each with its own other-worldly powers. When the Sixth Gun, the most powerful and dangerous of the group, resurfaces in the hands of an innocent girl, a farmer’s daughter named Becky Montcrief (Ramsey), dark forces reawaken. Vile men, long thought dead, set their sights on retrieving the gun and killing Becky.”

Here’s a weird piece of news that’s circulating this late Friday afternoon, apparently American Psycho writer Bret Easton Ellis has already put his foot down on who would play the psychotic Patrick Bateman in the forthcoming remake being penned by Noble Jones.
“I have warned Lionsgate that I will not approve a new version of ‘American Psycho’ unless it stars Scott Disick or Miles Fisher,” Ellis states on Twitter.
Disick is the scummy douche that appears on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”, and shockingly is a perfect fit for the role. What I don’t like is that Disick would be playing himself, and there’s nothing worse than watch a dick play a dick. Pass.
Fisher, on the other hand, fits the bill as a snarky, sharpshooting swindler with a gross air of confidence that I can get behind. I did dig his work in Final Destination.
Yet, what it all boils down to is that nobody will be better than Christian Bale. This reeks of a terrible idea. What are your thoughts? READ MORE
I had to re-read this article a few times as the title confused the hell out of me. Picture Machine and Galavis Films are developing Bret Easton Ellis’ (writer of “American Psycho”) screenplay Bait, a Spain-set thriller to be directed by Jonas Pate. The reason for my confusion is that the title is the same as Arclight’s now-filming tiger shark attack flick being directed by Kimble Rendall, and starring Xavier Samuel and Julian McMahon. Even more peculiar is the plot, which centers on a disturbed woman who holds a group of American students hostage in shark-infested waters. Ellis’ story sounds way more appealing, but it should be known that there are now two shark movies named Bait in production. Anyhoo, Lionsgate has first look at domestic rights. Producers are aiming to shoot the film in the spring at Ciudad de la Luz studios in Alicante, Spain, as well as on the open water.

Patrick Bateman is a homicidal maniac working on the New York stock exchange. His reasons for killing are debatable, such as extreme envy of fellow co-workers, material obsession, pure hatred or simply no other reason than complete insanity. His lunacy escalates throughout the film, killing at least 20 people in the process, including models, homeless people, co-workers, friends, and anyone else who stands in his way, be it rage, jealousy, or something else. The only person who he seems to sympathise with is his secretary, Jean, who eventually he can’t help but have a desire to murder her. Many times, Patrick can’t tell whether these events are real, or simply part of a psychotic delusion brought on by his problems.
