Original American Psycho Casting Director Picks A Different Role For New Rumored Patrick Bateman Austin Butler

The original American Psycho casting director discusses which role Austin Butler would actually be perfect to play in the upcoming adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' novel of the same name. In late 2024, it was announced that director Luca Guadagnino will helm a new American Psycho movie with a script by Scott Z. Burns. Rather than being a simple remake of the previous 2000 movie starring Christian Bale, it will be a reimagining of the original novel. Butler has been rumored to be in consideration to play Patrick Bateman.
