Rumors about a new film adaptation of “American Psycho” have sparked excitement among movie fans. The big question—who will step into Christian Bale’s shoes as Patrick Bateman?
Jacob Elordi is one of the top contenders. After his breakout in Emerald Fennell’s psychological thriller “Saltburn,” it seems like an obvious choice, according to Metro.
These rumors aren’t just based on his rising career. Elordi was recently seen having lunch with director Luca Guadagnino, who will be leading the project.
As of now, no release date, cast, or details have been confirmed. The film will once again follow the original plot by Bret Easton Ellis, telling the story of banker Patrick Bateman, who becomes a violent killer by night.
The first film adaptation of “American Psycho” came out in 2000, with Christian Bale, Willem Dafoe, Josh Lucas, Reese Witherspoon, and Cara Seymour in lead roles. It earned a 7.2/10 on Kinopoisk and 7.6/10 on IMDb.
