Bret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho and The Rules of Attraction, has penned an untitled original screenplay that The Roseblood Movie Company will co-finance and produce.

The story follows an awkward social outcast who takes a group of people who humiliated him hostage. As you can expect, the results are grim.

Brad Furman will direct. The untitled film will start shooting later this summer.
