- A 10-episode Netflix show: of course, probably better, since it could explain some things.
- Asked about an all-Black cast, one participant says you could but would rather fold it into the American Psycho universe, with the husband as one of Patrick Bateman's investment-banker friends, since those books all interconnect.
- For an all-Black remake Zendaya plays the Julia Roberts role; she seemed maybe too young until producer Craig points out Julia was 24 in the movie and Zendaya is 24 now; seeing her in danger, as on Euphoria, would make viewers invested.
- The husband is the toughest part: no star like Michael B. Jordan would take it, so it has to be a no-name actor.
- Jermaine Fowler, from Sorry to Bother You and Coming 2 America, would be cast as the new boyfriend.
- There are said to be even odds the remake comes out in the next two and a half years, and with Zendaya it would be huge even on HBO Max or Netflix.
- Where she goes: not Cedar Falls; options include Louisiana, Atlanta (too trite) and Gary, Indiana, before settling on Austin, where people from L.A. go when they are sick of L.A.
