What does "modern" American psycho even look like? How are they going to put a chick in it, and make her lame and gay?

I liked the part afterwards where they assured us it was ethically sourced, carbon neutral, and accessible for all.

Even if she does kill people, she will either have an unearned redemption at the last minute or is actually the real victim because some male made her that way.

Because creativity is all but dead in hollywood. They'd rather remake stuff that was already successful for its time albeit now (((retooled))) for diverse audiences in hopes that they can swindle enough old school fans to watch the reprocessed slop while simultaneously reeling in a new audience of zogmutts.

'They're going to cast a black trans woman amirite 😏😏😏' aside, even if it remained wish fulfillment for teen boys, it doesn't need to be made. The original aged fine.

I'm not interested in a modern American Psycho remake unless thry turn Patrick Bateman into a Trans-femme Queer Bipoc to make up for the representation that the original movie so noticeably lacked.

patrick bateman becomes president of the united states of america by running on a campaign promising to kill all the brown people. It is revealed that he conspired with a foreign government to cheat the election. He spends the next four years locking up journ*lists and trans people just for existing. At some point there is a global health event in which millions of americans die as bateman watches on gleefully and does nothing. He even adds to the death count by intentionally giving bad health advice to his legions of deluded supporters. When he eventually loses the next election, he refuses to hand over leadership to the rightful heir, and sends his maniacal supporters to the capital building for revenge. It is a complete bloodbath and the congress members barely escape with their lives in tact...
I know what you're thinking: "that sounds absolutely terrifying, but maybe a little too extreme even for satire". Well... Its not satire. It really happened. But his name wasn't Patrick Bateman. It was Donald Trump...
Thank you

The original was a critique of yuppies. So a modern equivalent might actually be a takedown of DEIJ-obsessed corporate culture where, despite the obsession with diversity, everyone's a generationally wealthy Ivy-educated WASP, apart from the one Asian women who never shuts up about being BIPOC. Like those "day in the life" tiktoks, they're all far too busy relaxing at the pool and getting massages and ordering from the in-house Michelin-starred chef to do any work.

American psycho played with this idea really well (patrci spouts social justice topics several times to avoid honest answers to things) and honestly, looking back, it's arguably the only way to go. Just the most evil, ruthless capitalists murdering people by night and advocating for the disadvantaged by day

Remake it for modern audience
Patrick Bateman is now a black trans mtf who has landed a sweet executive position through
affirmative actionclimbing the corporate ladder. Xer homocidal episodes are a completely justified and understandable response to being a black-coded transwoman struggling to survive in a white cishet culture. yaaaaassss queen, slay!Jump in the discussion.
