As a seasoned cinephile with a penchant for unraveling the intricacies of storytelling, I am genuinely thrilled by the news that Austin Butler will be gracing our screens once more, this time as the chilling Patrick Bateman in Luca Guadagnino’s American Psycho.
After garnering universal acclaim for his portrayal in ‘Elvis’, Austin Butler is slated to take on yet another well-known character.
It’s confirmed that actor Butler is set to play the main role in director Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming movie version of American Psycho, as reported by Variety on the 11th of December.
The upcoming movie written by Scott Z Burns (Extrapolations) is thought to be a modern adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s novel, rather than a re-telling of the 2000 film with Christian Bale in the lead role. This suggests that it will probably present a unique perspective on the original book.
In New York, the narrative unfolds around Patrick Bateman, who seemingly has a regular life as an investment banker during the day. However, when the sun sets, his true identity surfaces – that of a remorseless serial murderer.
It’s not the first time Guadagnino has adapted a book for the big screen.
In 2017, I followed the adaptation of a novel penned in 2007 titled “Call Me By Your Name,” written by André Aciman. More recently, in 2022, I delved into another cinematic interpretation, this time of Camille DeAngelis’ 2015 novel titled “Bones and All.
In a new movie titled “Queer,” directed by our current filmmaker, renowned actor Daniel Craig portrays a disregarded American expatriate. This role is based on a 1985 novella of the same name, penned by the esteemed author William S Burroughs.
But for now, read on for everything you need to know about his latest project, American Psycho.
Luca Guadagnino’s American Psycho release date speculation
Since the project’s production hasn’t started yet, it might take some time for the film to become available. It seems that we may not see this film until at least 2026.
The news came out in October that Guadagnino is set to direct the upcoming film adaption of the 1991 novel.
Lionsgate’s head announced with excitement: “We’re excited to welcome another top-tier filmmaker to our upcoming lineup.
Luca shows exceptional artistic talent, making him an ideal candidate to offer a fresh, innovative take on this powerful and timeless intellectual property.
Luca Guadagnino’s American Psycho cast: Who could star?
According to what’s been shared previously, Austin Butler is set to star in the main part of the production. However, the remaining cast members have not been revealed as of now. We’ll need to stay tuned for further updates.
Since Guadagnino’s adaptation of American Psycho was initially revealed in October, spectators have been eagerly pondering if Jacob Elordi, known for his roles in Euphoria and Priscilla, might assume the character previously played by Bale in the 2000 film.
On different occasions, these particular actors have found themselves vying for comparable roles. Most recently, Elordi and Butler portrayed variations of Elvis Presley in the films directed by Sofia Coppola (“Priscilla”) and Baz Luhrmann (“Elvis”).
Recently, Variety asked Elordi about the gossip that he might take on the role of the next Bateman. To this, he stated that he had not heard anything about it.
