Austin Butler Lands Lead In American Psycho Reboot

Austin Butler has landed a new role! The actor will play Patrick Bateman in the upcoming American Psycho.

According to Variety, “under the lens of Guadagnino, who is best known for Call Me by Your Name, Challengers and most recently Queer, the new take on the book could have a larger erotic emphasis than the original horror satire. Guadagnino has also dabbed into genre in “Suspiria” and “Bones and All.” While Butler is attached to play the lead role in the movie, Guadagnino might have have interpreted the Patrick Bateman character in a much different way than its previous incarnation.”

I am still not sold that this needed a reboot, but congrats to Austin.
