As a die-hard fan of the original “American Psycho,” I must admit that I was initially skeptical about the remake. Christian Bale’s portrayal of Patrick Bateman was nothing short of iconic, and his performance left an indelible mark on my psyche. However, upon hearing that Austin Butler will be taking on the role, I find myself intrigued rather than dismayed.
In a twist of events, the lead role for Luca Guadagnino’s remake of “American Psycho” has been cast with Austin Butler, an actor who has recently found himself in numerous productions. Previously, Christian Bale brought the iconic character Patrick Bateman to life in the 1991 novel adaptation by Bret Easton Ellis, a role that continues to be celebrated among today’s film enthusiasts. As Butler steps into these big shoes, he will portray the psychopathic, businessman murderer in the forthcoming retelling of the acclaimed early ’90s book.
As reported by Variety, Austin Butler is set to take on the leading role of Patrick Bateman in Guadagnino’s adaptation of “American Psycho”. Many fans had speculated that Jacob Elordi, who previously portrayed Elvis in the film “Priscilla”, would be cast for this part. However, it’s now confirmed that Butler will portray the iconic character. Although Bateman is the protagonist, he is one of the more villainous roles Butler has tackled. This year, he played the ruthless Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen in “Dune: Part Two”, but “American Psycho” promises a significantly different and violent turn for the Academy Award-nominated actor.
In the bustling 1980s Manhattan, Patrick Bateman mingles with the vibrant and fashionable crowd. He is a young, attractive, and educated man who accumulates his wealth on Wall Street during the day, while his nights are shrouded in mysteries we can barely imagine. Through acts of violence and murder, Bateman hints at an impending, terrifying horror that no civilization would be prepared to face.
