A New American Psycho Movie Has Been Announced, And I’m Jazzed About The Director Who’s Being Lined Up To Helm It

Before he was tapped to play Batman in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, Christian Bale was arguably best known for his portrayal of serial Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, the Mary Harron-directed film adaptation of the same-named novel by Bret Easton Ellis.
