I love how they have already mentioned it's going to be made on a very low budget with a first time director. Epic fail ahead... icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

This has never been confirmed or denied by the author. That's the conundrum and the mystery behind the whole book. There is A LOT in the book and Ellis' others that give conflicting messages on what really goes on with Bateman.

This just ruined my day.

EDIT: Rapier Wolfcastle's comment in that article is awesome:

In books you have to imagine the penetration.

This sounds like a really stupid idea, a recipe for failure before the first letter hits the page.

Wat.

Teger, how long has it been since you read the book? There was plenty of textual evidence to suggest he was mentally ill in general (disordered thoughts, eating sand on beach), and imagining his crimes in particular (though I can't say where without a reread myself). I felt the movie perfectly captured this -- and the book's sense of humor -- though BEE himself is happiest with Roger Avary's Rules of Attraction.

I love Avary's Rules of Attraction. I like how it is nothing like the book, however captures the "feel" and emotion of the book. Avary bought the rights to Glamorama and has stated that he even if it takes him his whole career he is going to get the movie made.
