‘I Like Brave People’ \u2014 Christian Bale Says Making a New American Psycho Is a ‘Bold Choice’ Credit: IGN<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Actor Christian Bale, who played the lead in the 2000 American Psycho movie, was recently asked what he thought of the new American Psycho movie<\/a> coming from Luca Guadagnino. “Whoever wants to give it a shot, give it a pop,” Bale told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> at the premiere of his latest film The Bride in New York City. “I loved making it with Mary Harron so many years back. So many fantastic memories of it all. Bold choice of anyone to\u2026 I don’t know if they’re doing a remake or what… I don’t know anything about it, but all the best to ’em. I like brave people.”<\/p>\n

Bale didn\u2019t have any particular picks when asked as far as actors to play the iconic Patrick Bateman this time around, but it\u2019s great to see him so open to another portrayal that might end up quite different from his own.<\/p>\n

That said, casting has seemingly been a big undertaking for the project. When it was first announced in 2024, Austin Butler was set to star<\/a> as Bateman \u2014 but a 2025 report claimed that The White Lotus star Patrick Schwarzenegger was up for the role<\/a>. But, as of this writing, no one has officially been attached to the part just yet. It doesn\u2019t seem to be for a lack of trying, though.<\/p>\n

“A couple of high-profile actors, whom I can’t name, have turned it down,” Bret Easton Ellis, author of the 1991 novel on which the film was based, revealed last month on his podcast<\/a>. “I think maybe because they don’t want to be in the shoes of Christian Bale.” To be fair, that makes a lot of sense. Bale\u2019s performance is the stuff of legend, and it will probably prove a bit difficult to find an actor ready and willing to do something wholly different with their Bateman \u2014 which appears to be Guadagnino\u2019s strategy here.<\/p>\n

“From what I\u2019m told, this movie is completely different from Mary Harron\u2019s 2000 movie<\/a>,\u201d Ellis also shared on the pod. \u201cIt’s a completely different take, and going to bear no resemblance to that movie.”<\/p>\n
