Steven Soderbergh finally called it quits on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. TV show adaptation a few weeks back (at the time of writing this) as he was unable to agree with Warner Bros. executives over both the proper casting and budget for the 1960s-set secret agent adventure-thriller. The film has since then been in a state of development limbo, as far as the general population has been concerned.

A new American Psycho movie is now in the early stages of development over at Lionsgate; it will apparently be neither a direct remake of Harron’s film, nor a strictly-loyal re-interpretation of Ellis’ source material.
Variety is reporting that the new, low-budgeted American Psycho project has not officially been greenlit by Lionsgate just yet. However, a preliminary script draft penned by Noble Jones was recently completed and the studio is now giving serious thought to giving the film the go-ahead, with Jones in the director’s ...
