Austin Butler to Star as Patrick Bateman in ‘American Psycho’ Adaptation

Dec 13 2024

Austin Butler, the Oscar-nominated star of Elvis, is set to play Patrick Bateman in Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho. Following rumors that Euphoria star Jacob Elordi was considered for the role, it has now been confirmed that Butler will take on the iconic character of the narcissistic, serial-killing investment banker.

Guadagnino, best known for Call Me by Your Name and Challengers, will not remake the 2000 film directed by Mary Harron but will instead offer a fresh take on the novel. The script is penned by Scott Z. Burns, known for his work on Contagion and The Laundromat.

The original film, starring Christian Bale as Bateman, was a horror satire set in the 1980s. Guadagnino’s version is expected to emphasize a more erotic tone, with the director’s experience in genre films like Suspiria and Bones and All.

Butler, recently seen in Dune: Part Two and The Bikeriders, will also star in upcoming projects including Eddington and Caught Stealing.
