Is Austin Butler Suitable to be Patrick Bateman? Well, Casting Director for 2000 film “American psycho“Has another time what role butler should play …
A “American psycho” -reimagining was announced 2024 with Luca Guadagnino directed from Scott Z. Burn’s adaptation. Austin Butler was rumored to lead the film as Patrick Bateman, the character that Christian Bale first took on the screen. But the author broad Easton Ellis later said that the remake was “False news“And that no offers for any of the aforementioned creative are in place. Guadagnino continued to show up in a video message under Lionsgates Cinemacon presentation that confirms his commitment to the project and said that the script is” comes out very beautifully. ”
Now Casting Director Kerry Barden weighs on how Butler can only be for handsome to lead the function. Barde quoted how butler resembles supportive star Jared Leto than lead bale. Leto played Bale’s competitor on the Paul Allen screen in the 2000 version.
“I would throw Austin into Jared’s role because he is so beautiful, and that’s why we threw Jared, is because he is so beautiful,” the bard told Hollywood Reporter. “Jared is really a great actor too, and obviously Austin has a lot of depth as an actor too. But not every person has that kind of beauty.”
And that feeling of Butler’s aesthetics has also been shared by his “The Bikeriders” director Jeff Nichols, who previously told Total film That he was “pretty sure I saw the most beautiful person I have ever seen” when he met Butler.
It is not only the bond (and “American Psycho” author Ellis) who has expressed his skepticism for the conversion. Producer Chris Hanley told THR that “everyone calls me and goes like” how stupid to do (“American Psycho”). “After working with the 2000 feature, however, Hanley stands at Guadagnino’s Take.” Luca is a great director, “he said.” He has never made a bad movie. “
The “American Psycho” actor Justin Theroux also approves Guadagnino’s restart. Theroux told me Vulture That 25 years later, “American Psycho” is equally relevant. He said it’s “”Perfect time“For a new recording, adds,” it sounds like they put together an interesting team of people and actors. I’m usually not in remakes, but when I heard who is involved, I thought it could be really good. Maybe it’s a perfect time to recount that story. When you get more time away from an era, you have more perspective on it. The truth or lie comes in more relief, so it may be easier to satirize. “
