I can see the novel turned into an opera and that could work very well. But a musical by the guy who wrote the songs for that awful adaptation of Spring Awakening? I really hope this doesn’t make it very far. The movie itself is a bit disappointing, but this sounds straight up awful.

[...] Psycho The Musical! A musical version of the Bret Easton Ellis novel turned Christian Bale flick is reportedly in the works, with Duncan Sheik penning the tunes. I loved Spring Awakening, so I’m thinking this [...]

I am a fan of both the book and the movie and I think if you’re going to make a musical of this story (which I find a little odd) that Duncan is the best person for the job. He is a huge fan of a lot of 80s acts (like Foreigner) and by now he’s had a few tries on the stage and it always works. He is also very diverse – all of the shows he’s worked on so far have had a different feel and different music from one another (I’ve seen stagings and/or readings for Spring Awakening, Nero, and Whisper House). I think that if this is true, then it’ll be great.

I think this could pave the way for a lovely transition from film to theater for Christian Bale! I’m a big fan.

@jo – hell yeah, Newsies!

I saw a musical of American Psycho once; it was the “final exam” type project in a musical theatre college. It was actually pretty good I thought :)

Sooo…am I misremembering Duncan Sheik as being some guy who one or two bland radio songs in the 90′s?? The name sounds familiar..

Read the book! The movie is good, but the book is better. So violent and. at times, hard to read. It really shows how crazy Bateman is.
