‘American Psycho’ Is Getting Re-Released On Steelbook

Scott Cooper Reunites With Christian Bale For Edgar Allen Poe Movie ‘The Pale Blue Eye’

Louis Bayard‘s 2003 novel The Pale Blue Eye is being adapted for the big screen by Antlers director Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart, Antlers) who also penned the screenplay, according to Deadline. But that’s not all, Cooper will be reuniting with Oscar-winning American Psycho and The Dark Knight actor Christian Bale who is set to star. The two previously worked together on both Out of the Furnace and Hostiles. Deadline reports that “The thriller revolves around the attempt to solve a series of murders that took place in 1830 at the US Military Academy at West Point. Bale will play a veteran detective who investigates the murders, helped by a detail-oriented young cadet who will later become a world-famous author, Edgar Allan Poe.” Even though Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston and died, delirious, in Baltimore, the majority of his life was spent in Virginia, my home state,” Scott Cooper said in a statement. “So I grew up with his

FX And Lionsgate Are Bringing ‘American Psycho’ To TV

FX and Lionsgate are looking to capitalize on the horror show trend by adapting ‘American Psycho’ for a new series. The new series is already being written by Ed Pressman, who will also be serving as the show’s executive producer. Ed Pressman and Allison Shearmu are both listed as producers. Christian Bale played Patrick Bateman, the main character of the 2000 horror movie ‘American Psycho’, about a man who is delusional and can only be labeled as having a serious case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder and a love for murder. The series will be a little a different from the movie. It will follow the character of Patrick Bateman, in his 50’s. Bateman has trained a protege, who has become his equal. I will say this, I’m really looking forward to ‘American Psycho’ the series. If Lionsgate and FX could only get Christian Bale to return to play one of his most iconic roles, I would be truly ecstatic! I
