Bret Easton Ellis is making his directorial debut with a new series for Fullscreen’s forthcoming standalone video service.
The “American Psycho” author is attached to “The Deleted,” described as a thriller about the disappearance of three people in Los Angeles, writes THR. Although they seem to be unconnected to each other, the deaths trigger the collective paranoia of a group of twenty-somethings who recently escaped from a cult.
Ellis, the bestselling author of “The Rules of Attraction” and “Less Than Zero,” wrote and produced 2013’s Lindsay Lohan starrer “The Canyons” and has directed two short films, but “The Deleted” will be his first time directing a serialized project.
Fullscreen is targeting an early 2017 premiere for “The Deleted” on its subscription video service, which launches Tuesday, April 26.
