American Psycho 2 (also known as American Psycho II: All American Girl)[1][2] is a 2002 American slasher film directed by Morgan J. Freeman from a screenplay by Alex Sanger and Karen Craig. Starring Mila Kunis and William Shatner, it is a stand-alone sequel to the film American Psycho.[3] Kunis portrays a criminology student who seeks to advance her career by murdering her classmates.
The screenplay for the film, entitled The Girl Who Wouldn't Die, originally had no association with American Psycho.[4] After production began, the script was altered to connect the film with the original.[5] American Psycho 2 was released direct-to-video on June 18, 2002. The film was panned by critics for its screenwriting; the script was also denounced by Bret Easton Ellis, the author of the original novel, and Kunis later expressed regret for the film.[6][5]

When I did the second one, I didn't know it would be 'American Psycho II.' It was supposed to be a different project, and it was re-edited
