Can you imagine what all those other movies would be like?
1992: Johnny Depp expressed interest in the lead role
>Mila Kunis
They all would have been shit. Leo is alright at some things, but imagining this movie in any other way besides how it was handled disgusts me. It's one of the best book to film translations I've seen.
The only thing that interests me is how Cronenberg may have done it.
It's massively overrated anyway but check these digits yo
Based Bale.
pft...amateur.... check 'em
>Can you imagine what all those other movies would be like?
Still shit. They didn't even include the urinal cake or starving rat in vagina scene.
I don't even fucking know what movie you're referring to
Leo would have been garbage for that role but I agree that Cronenburg's take would have been interesting to see.
Probably a little less outrageous and a little more sickening.

Huey was quite the sex symbol lf his day.
Underage please go
>Oliver Stone was brought onboard, wishing to eliminate the satire from Harron's script
Why would he want to remove it? The satire is the best part of American Psycho.
>The only thing that interests me is how Cronenberg may have done it.
I've always thought that it felt a lot like a Cronenberg movie already, didn't know that he was once attached.
>Oliver Stone
reminder that at around that time he had made Natural Born Killers, which was a piece of shit.
Leo has shit range, has he even played a villain before?
Damn, he actually had the nerve to tell Ewan Mcgregor to turn down the role?
I wonder what he said to Yewan
really would have liked to have seen the zoo scene.
What happened at the zoo?
Did Bateman shoot a gorilla?
i know that elliis wrote a draft of the script himself at one point and it was way different from the novel. it ended with a big musical dance number at the statue of liberty or some shit
>Leo has shit range, has he even played a villain before?
Django and Wolf of Wall street

Wow, kill yourself, Reddit.
What the fuck is wrong with the you guys?
how has no one checked these yet?
I spend my spare time on a Japanese inspired image board where I argue with Anonymous users who disagree with me no matter what I say.
>Depp
Who knows
>Cronenberg
Could have been good
>Ed Norton
Possible.
>Leo
I'm a big fan but he would have been absolute shit for this
>Oliver Stone
Always shit aside from Wall Street.
In the end I think we got the best adaptation there was ever going to be. Feels good.
Does Bale hate Leo more than any other actor?
>Leo cucks him out of Titanic
>Leo could have cucked him out of American Psycho
>Leo cucked him out the Revenant
>Leo cucked him out of Inception
