Unnecessary Remake of the Day: Lionsgate is reportedly moving forward with a remake of American Psycho penned by music video director Noble Jones.

Jones, whose only major motion picture experience comes from directing the second unit for David Fincher’s The Social Network, is better known for his work on music videos for Taylor Swift and Mary J. Blige.

If all this hasn’t put you off this idea yet, Deadline says the project will have a small budget, and the film will reportedly be set in modern-day New York, as opposed to late-80s setting of Bret Easton Ellis’s critically acclaimed novel.

There is no word yet on a timeframe, and the development is still in its infancy, so, with any luck, this project will go the way Lionsgate’s insipid American Psycho sequel should have gone.

No no no no no no no! Please tell me this isn’t real…? :(
