‘American Psycho’ heads to stage<\/h1>\n

Musical adaptation in development\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

“American Psycho”\u00a0has begun the development process and is aiming for Broadway.<\/span><\/p>\n

Legit version of the 1991 Bret Easton Ellis novel, about a 1980s\u00a0Wall Street<\/a>\u00a0banker who is also a serial killer, will come from the Johnson-Roessler Co., management-production company the Collective and XYZ Films. The three shingles have partnered to acquire the rights to develop and produce the stage incarnation.<\/p>\n

“Psycho”<\/a>\u00a0was previously adapted into a 2000\u00a0Lionsgate<\/a>\u00a0pic that starred Christian Bale.<\/p>\n

Development team has just begun the selection process for creatives to pen the score and the book. No timeline has been set for what is envisioned as a large-scale musical.<\/p>\n

Graphically bloody novel, which juxtaposes Reagan-era decadence and gruesome killings, includes prominent references to bands of the era, a fact that contributed to the idea of musicalizing the story. Sounds of the time will influence the new show’s score.<\/p>\n
