When word broke this week that American Psycho was inexplicably getting a modern-day remake already, what most people, including myself, didn’t know is that the book’s author Bret Easton Ellis is not only on board with the remake but is legitimately asking for Scott Disick of Kardashian fame to play Patrick Bateman. No, really. Via indieWIRE by way of FilmDrunk:
The quote worthy author declared, “I have warned Lionsgate that I will not approve a new version of ‘American Psycho’ unless it stars SCOTT DISICK or MILES FISHER.” Fisher is probably best known for being a dead ringer for a young Tom Cruise, who he impersonated in the only watchable part of “Superhero Movie.” … As for Disick, he’s a professional reality TV douchebag who’s currently courting Kourtney Kardashian (aka one of the other ones who isn’t Kim). He’s actually got the perfect personality to play Patrick though and perhaps his inability to be self-aware would help, but alas it won’t be.
Ellis tweeted, “I am waiting for Scott Disick to ask: ‘Who in the hell is is Bret Easton Ellis?’” to which Disick replied, “Not going to happen, I know just who u r!”
Scott Disick basically just got handed a major film role for doing absolutely nothing worthy of note save for falling out of wealthy vagina which allowed him to knock up a Kardashian (twice) and have the grooming skills of a sociopath, so of course, he’s going to turn it down. It involves work.

They need to quit with the American Psycho even the first one wasn’t as great as people make it out to be.
oh, come on. it was pretty fucking awesome.
So is my cock but you don’t see me trying to hire this dick to play it.
Dennis & his awesome cock for the win
I hope this whole idea is just a joke. Why remake a movie that was made just 11 years ago? It’s not like it wasn’t perfect the first time, because I personally thought it was. FUCKEDOUT is right. Hollywood needs more original ideas instead of this obsession with remaking every movie ever made.
Because these tards have run out of ideas. And if this tool is in the movie it should be renamed “American Douche”
+1 Ha! I completely agree.
He looksh perfect for American Homo.
This greasy, little cocksucker needs to go…. stat. I’d rather fuck Bruce Jenner than this tool, and that is revolting. I think I just made myself vomit.
This is perfect. The first movie was a huge disappointment and I think it is hard for anyone who is a fan of the book to not agree that Scott Disick doesn’t have to be an actor for this role because he IS Patrick Bateman. I’ve been saying it for years and I’m glad Bret Easton Ellis himself has now commented on it. He is, unfortunately, only kidding about the movie though. It isn’t going to happen.
No need to insert joke. Title does it all.
the truth!
It stops being funny when Patrick Bateman tweets you back that he knows just who u r.
Just so creepy looking.
FAIL.
If they kill him off for real in the movie I will watch it.
Heheh Do snufff films still get made? That could be charmingly retro.
superflous f. :)

The other dude, Miles Fisher, did a music video copying American Psycho.

I’m surprised exec isn’t wanting to make it a sequel and call it American Psychos kinda like how Alien spawned Aliens.
Bret Easton Ellis may want Scott Disick to play Patrick Bateman, but I’m willing to bet that Scott Disick’s acting ability ends at playing Scott Disick.
This is my all-time favorite novel, so if some bobblehead gigolo doesn’t want to accept the roll, that’s fine with me. I am hoping Ellis doesn’t want the movie made either and set up an impossible condition. When pigs fly, or when pseudo-Kardashians work… Same thing.
seen the size of his NOSE HOLES?
well, take a close look, hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!
That SUCKS!! He would have been perfect!!
Come on, dude is totally a serial killer. Method acting at its finest.
Love it.
I have no idea who this guy is. Let’s keep it that way.
Lol, strong sarcasm by Ellis.
Don’tcha just want to smack the smug off his face??
I agree. I bet the motherfucker collects items mentioned in the book. He’s clearly a Bateman wannabe who doesn’t realize Batema is a satire to begin with.
the first time I saw disick on one of the kardashian shows I got chills because of his eerie resemblance to bateman. I thought he could easily be the actual American psycho. Now reading this piece of news I feel like I’ve made a prophesy and it’s come true.
I’m amazing.
try and get in the dorsia now fucker
Speaks volumes that it doesn’t nauseate you. But I’m glad you like him.
I like Scott Disick .I wish he had more air time on the Kardashian’s. He would make an excellent American Psycho, in real time, no acting involved. The second kid will put him over the edge, I hope. I love to see well to do upper crust dudes, fall apart, bad. I want to see him break up the place, throw his kids over the NY rooftop, rape Bruce Jenner while Kris, watches, and then kick back with a scotch and a smoke. The end.
Thank you! I was thinking the same thing. Best way to not get your movie remade into the horrible mess we all know it will be is get someone the studio will never want to work with. Then the studio’s the bad guy.
Then again… Several MILLION dollars does wonders to make someone suppress their sarcasm…
Definitely. There’s no way he would want that untalented douchetool. He’d probably like to get a good performance out of the lead, and make a worthwhile movie.
Well I love AmPsy as much as the next guy but I think you forgot there was a sequel (remake, sequel does it really fucking matter? They took an existing idea and ran with it) already and it fucking blew donkey cock. Morgan Freeman directed that shit (he is not god) and Mila Kunis ruined the rest.
indeed
Exactly my thoughts. Were did creativity go in the last years ?? It’s comics, 3rd, 4th, 5th parts or remakes. Anyone please I’d love to see something new !!!
“Can’t the gypsies you live with find you a job maybe as perfume sprayer at DASH ?”
I laughed my ass off.
I think its hilarious! Hehe I read the book and thought Scott Disick was totally Bateman!
Yes, Mr Ellis is taking the piss, and poor old Scott is all excited about being in the movie.
Scott represents all of the f***ed up, shallow values that Bret was ripping apart in the book.
I think that a nice compromise would be a reality show called ‘American Himbo’ where Scott Disick could just walk around being himself.
