A huge rumor going around Hollywood is that Austin Butler will be the new lead in the remake of American Psycho. Butler is rumored to be playing infamous serial killer Patrick Bateman made famous by actor Christian Bale from the 200o film.
Luca Guadagnino‘s new interpretation of the book “American Psycho” by Bret Easton Ellis will be released by Lionsgate. The film, which features a script by Scott Z. Burns (“The Laundromat”), will not be a remake of the 2000 film, but a new adaptation of Ellis’ novel. Luca Guadagnino‘s take on the novel is rumored to center on more of an erotic tone than center on the horror that made the 2000 film great.
The original movie is set in the 1980s, Christian Bale stars as Patrick Bateman, a Wall Street yuppie and serial killer. Guadagnino just wrapped the shoot of “After the Hunt” starring Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield. His previous two movies “Queer” and “Challengers” turned up in the Golden Globes nominations.
