Bret Easton Ellis and his unfiltered mouth is one of my favorite people in Hollywood. He gives no shits and it shows in his work. While he’s best known as the writer of “American Psycho”, “Less Than Zero” and “The Rules of Attraction”, he’s making his directorial debut on a forthcoming television series that dabbles in a cult.
It was reported this past summer that Ellis is directing “The Deleted”, a cult thriller that follows the disappearance of three seemingly unconnected people from Los Angeles, which triggers paranoia among a group of twenty-somethings who escaped from a cult a few years back.
We have it on good authority that “The Deleted” is going to be appease Bloody Disgusting readers in the goriest of ways, with a source telling us that there are scenes in which the walls are quite literally covered in blood.
Streaming video app Fullscreen has picked up the project and is planning an early 2017 premiere. The thriller will join a slate of original series and youth-skewing licensed fare available on the teen-centric app, which costs $4.99 a month.
Vine “star” Nash Grier leads the unknown cast.
