‘Birdemic’ Sells Out Los Angeles; Don’t Miss Austin Screening on Tuesday!

Published

The best-worst movie ever made? While my friends and myself have been passing around a scratched DVD copy of James Nguyen’s Birdemic: Shock and Terror for months now, last night our dreams came true as Bloody Disgusting hosted the red carpet premiere of the film to a sold out Los Angeles crowd (check out some quick pics and vids below, with a bigger report forthcoming). Tim & Eric hosted, birds fell from the mother effin’ ceiling and the buzz after the screening ranged from “I’m speechless” to “That WAS the best time I have ever had in a theater!” Am I over hyping it? F*ck no. Do you have to see it with a massive group of people to get the full enjoyment out of it? Yes. With an encore screening locked for here in LA on March 5th (info here), those of you in Austin, Texas will have the opportunity to be among the first to witness this “Romantic Thriller” (trademarked, LOL) with an actual audience (Tuesday, March 2, 2010 @Alamo Drafthouse). Our suspicions where dead on. Birdemic works, and it works unbelievably. Move over The Room, cause the eagles and vultures are attacking! Get all of the info and find links to tix on the Austin Facebook event page. We’d love to see yet another sold out crowd and hear back from some BD readers.

Luca Guadagnino’s ‘American Psycho’ to Star Austin Butler as Patrick Bateman

Luca Guadagnino (Bones and All, Suspiria) will direct a brand new interpretation of the 1991 book American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis for Lionsgate, and Variety has announced this morning that Austin Butler (Dune: Part Two) will star as serial killer Patrick Bateman.

Scott Z. Burns pens the script, which is said to be a new adaptation of Ellis’s novel and not a remake of the 2000 film. Burns most recently created the Apple TV+ limited series “Extrapolations.”

In the story, “A wealthy New York City investment banking executive, Patrick Bateman (played by Christian Bale in the 2000 movie), hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he delves deeper into his violent, hedonistic fantasies.”

It’s quite likely that Guadagnino and Butler will have a drastically different version of the character that Christian Bale made unforgettable in director Mary Harron’s adaptation.

The new film will be produced by Frenesy Films, executive produced by Sam Pressman, son of Edward R. Pressman, producer of the first adaptation, through his company Pressman Film.

“We are thrilled to add another elite filmmaker to our upcoming slate,” said Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson. “Luca is a brilliant artist, and the perfect visionary to create a whole new interpretation of this potent and classic IP.”

Jacob Elordi was considered the frontrunner to play Patrick Bateman in the upcoming adaptation, which makes Austin Butler an unexpected choice. Elordi will, however, play the Monster in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein.

With this key casting locked down for the upcoming film, expect more details about the project to arrive soon.
