I think it comes out in the US pretty soon, because I read a early review of the "O" dvd and theres a trailer for it on there.
ANyway what I know about it is that Mila Kunis (Jackie from that 70's show) is the only person to ever survive Patrick Bateman. (?)
It has almost nothing to do with American Psycho at all. Christian Bale is not in it, and the only thing to do with the first one is a flashback with some asshole as Bateman. It also has that dingleberry Shatner in it, so that can't be good.
It sounds like one of those slightly erotic thriller movies with Richard Grieco or some other non actor in it. It should be decent, but I really like Mila Kunis so that's the only reason I'll be seeing it.

It's gonna suuuuuuuck.
First Less Than Zero and now this... Bret Easton Ellis should sue all of Hollywood.
Sigh...
What are the chances Roger Avary (Killing Zoe, Phatasm's End) and James van der Beek's Rules of Attraction adaption will be any good?

I agree Werner, I adore Mila Kunis so I will take a look but it is straight to video here in the states and essentially unrelated to the first. Odds are it blows.

If it's straight to video then I'll rent it. I liked the first, but this one doesn't sound very good.

I have a question about straight to video movies... I mean, other than the Disney sequels, do companies really make money on these? I just never saw the point in it.

The sequel is ridiculous. Patrick Bateman did NOT kill anyone. It was all in his mind. There is no "survivor" because he never attacked anyone. Also, from what I've read, the time period is inconsistent with that of the original.

Being that I work at a video store, I think I can answer your Direct to video question. I've noticed that there are a lot of people who come in to the video store every week and rent whatever is new. If only one "big" movie comes out a week, this week it's Captain Correli's Mandolin (how Ghost World only has 10 copies at my store and Correli has 100 is beyond me) then they Have to rent like 2 more so they walk around, "Oh, U.S. Seals 2, oh neat Kung-Fu navy guys, well I bet that sucks but there's nothing else so what the hell. Then there's the foolish horror fans like myself who get excited whenever a horror movie comes out even if it sucks. Of course I'm usually disappointed but still. So if there are people who get excited about new horror movies, then there are those who are excited about shitty action movies. And so forth.

Well looking back that probably only mildly helps, if at all. Oh well, I tried. By the way rent or buy Ghost World. Not horror, but I think alot of people here should like it. Hell of a movie.

DTV movies are pretty much guaranteed to make a profit if they can get Blockbuster &/ or Hollywood video to stock them. That's really all they need...
To be fair, the "all in his head" idea is much more of an issue in the film than the novel. From the novel, the interpretation that it isn't all in his head is a lot more valid. ...Or, maybe I'm just stupid.
Anyway, Ghost World f'in' rocks the house.

huh? wow. watch it again or try reading the book. its about a self-obsessed yuppie nut with a materialism fetish who murders people. sort of about the evils of objectifying people through materialism. it SURE as HELL is NOT about a new york yuppie with an overactive imagination. duh.

but, the sequel WILL suck. and that swamp rat Kunis is a little toad, not a hottie.

I guess me likes da swampies den! Some toads make ya trip when you lick em.

if licking kunis' head will take me on a psychedelic trip, then count me in. as long as i don't have to fuck her!

I just saw the trailer yesterday. I should probably have been working instead of watching movies. Anyway it doesn't look too promising for the lovely Mila's leading film debut. It looked kinda silly. I mean American Psycho had it's funny bits, but that was a quality movie, and the funny stuff was pretty dark and mean. This second one looks to be pretty shabby. Oh well I'm renting it when it comes out, but I do get it for free so I guess that's not saying much.

Its a literary device called an unreliable narrator. So youre both wrong. And youre both right. The book is all first person from a delusional mind. There is no way of knowing how much is fantasy and how much is reality. There is a point in the novel where the delusions are so strong you have no choice but to accept that Patricks reality is not the same one the rest of the world lives in. Re-read the passage with the shoot out and police chase. Its clearly written to cause a loss of faith in the reliabilty of the narrator.

The materialism themes in the novel are certainly present but not the overriding theme and it doesnt mean that Patrick did all the deeds he thinks he did. But does it really matter if Partick really raped a woman with a rat? Its a guided tour through a sick mind.
