Author Bret Easton Ellis has signed on to direct a thriller series for Fullscreen’s new subscription video service.
Ellis has written for the screen and has directed some short films previously, but The Deleted will be the author’s first foray into directing a series. The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop:
The American Psycho author is attached to The Deleted, described as a thriller about the disappearance of three people in Los Angeles. Although they seem to be unconnected to each other, the deaths trigger the collective paranoia of a group of twenty-somethings who recently escaped from a cult.
The project is slated for release next year.
