There's a new rumor going around that this project may be back in development at Lionsgate. According to industry scooper Jeff Sneider, the studio is reportedly open to a writer updating the story for the modern age and possibly offering their own take on the character. Since nothing official has been revealed, you can take this as a rumor or simply being "in talks" right now. (2/26/24)

Announced in 2011, it looks like this project never officially got greenlit. In fact, FX and Lionsgate were reportedly working together on a television series back in 2013 that would've served as a sequel to the first movie. It would've been set in present day and would've featured an older Patrick Bateman grooming an apprentice to be just like him. This and the television project now both appear to be in development hell. (2/9/23)

Lionsgate hasn't given the official greenlit on this project, as its still in the very early stages of development. (12/8/11)

Noble Jones was previously attached to this project as writer/director. This would have been his feature film debut, after helming several commercials and music videos for artists such as Taylor Swift and Mary J. Blige. He most recently handled second unit directing duties for David Fincher's The Social Network.

Described as a "down and dirty new version that imagines how yuppie serial killer Patrick Bateman would fare in New York today."

Said to be "low-budget".

The original spawned a critically-panned 2002 straight-to-video sequel that starred Mila Kunis.

A remake of the 2000 Mary Harron film with the same name, which was based on the book by Bret Easton Ellis.
