turned into a stage musical.

produced by the Headlong Theatre Company, which made Enron, the acclaimed play
about corporate greed.

will be directed by Headlong's artistic director Rupert Goold, with music and
lyrics by the Grammy and Tony award winner Duncan Sheik.

London-based company said no casting had taken place and the venue had not been
confirmed.

Easton Ellis wrote the book in 1991 and a film adaptation, starring Christian
Bale as investment banker turned serial killer Patrick Bateman, was released in
2000.

script for Broadway production of Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark.
