‘American Psycho’ Writer Claims Luca Guadagnino Reboot Is “Fake News”
In October 2024, it was announced that Guadagnino’s remake of “American Psycho” is in the works, with Austin Butler set to play Patrick Bateman. However, Bret Easton Ellis, the book’s author, has expressed skepticism about this announcement on his podcast, The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast. He suggested that it might be a false report as neither the director nor Lionsgate, who hold the rights to “American Psycho,” have officially confirmed the remake.
