Director Luca Guadagnino wants to remake American Psycho.
Here are the actors who could follow Christian Bale as unhinged yuppie Patrick Bateman.
But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory.
Yet Guadagnino has never been afraid of big swings.
Still, a filmmaker of Guadagninos abilities needs the right guy to step into Batemans pure leather oxfords.
Here are some of the actors who have certainly slipped their embossed business cards to Guadagnino.
WB
Austin Butler
Austin Butlerloves to play pretty weirdos, which is Patrick Bateman to a tee.
That quality could work for Bateman.
After all, Ellis gives Bateman endless first-person narration inAmerican Psycho, but spreads it all thin.
WB
Jacob Elordi
And what about the otherElvisof late?
Josh OConnor
Of course Guadagnino just worked with a pair of young male leads inChallengers.
On the other hand, Josh OConnor exudes confidence, which Bateman needs.
Amazon / MGM
Tom Holland
Yes,Tom Hollandplays Peter Parker as a big ol sweetie-pie.
But look atCherry,The Crowded Room, andThe Devil All the Time.
Kelvin Harrison Jr. Harrison would be the perfect actor for a Bateman that looks at other parts of Elliss novel.
MGM / Amazon
And inSuspiria, she played no fewer than three different characters, one of them an elderly man.
If anyone could pull it off, its Swinton.
And dont tell me you wouldnt watch it.
