Directed by Mary Harron, the 2000 film American Psycho brought Bret Easton Ellis’s novel to the big screen, and it looks like Patrick Bateman is next headed to the small screen.
Speaking with Deadline this week, Lionsgate Television chairman Kevin Beggs previewed all things Lionsgate TV that are currently in the works, including an American Psycho series.
And, potentially down the road, a television series set in the Saw universe?!
“American Psycho is in development,” Beggs reveals. “We’re always exploring what we can do in television with something like the Saw franchise, so that’s a conversation.”
Deadline’s Nellie Andreeva adds into the report/interview, “Beggs would not elaborate further, but I hear that Lionsgate TV is in early talks on a TV series adaptation of the book of Saw, from Mark Burg and Oren Koules’ Twisted Television. The Saw film franchise, one of the longest-running horror franchises in history and which has grossed over $1 billion at the box office, has long been rumored as ripe for a TV expansion.”
Spiral: From the Book of Saw will be released in theaters on May 14, and it’s clear Lionsgate has plans for the franchise beyond that movie. As we recently reported, early development has reportedly already begun on another feature film, and it looks like Lionsgate is also keeping the door open to expand upon that “Book of Saw” with a small screen project.
More as we learn it.
