Information about the potential involvement of Australian actress Margot Robbie in the new version of “American Psycho” was provided by “The Sun”. As it turns out, the star will not star in the film adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s novel. The iconic Patrick Bateman will remain a man. “Deadline” denies the rumors.
At the moment, it is not known who will play the main character. Some sources mentioned the names of currently top Hollywood stars, including: Jacob Elordi and Austin Butler. We know that the script for the film will be written by Scott Z. Burns, and Luca Guadagnino will be behind the camera. It is said that the new version of “American Psycho” is not intended to be a faithful reproduction of the book.
Currently, the director is working on the film “Artificial”, which will tell the story of Open AI, the creators of ChataGPT. On October 17, 2025, Luca’s latest project – the production “After the Hunt” – premiered. The film tells the story of a university lecturer who must face her past and a serious scandal at the university. The cast included Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield and Chloe Sevigny.
In 2000, Christian Bale created one of his most iconic roles. He played Patrick Bateman in the film adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s book “American Psycho”. The production told the story of two faces of a young rich man who is a talented banker by day and specializes in killing by night. The film, which has gained cult status over the years, was directed by Mary Harron.
In addition to Christian Bale, the cast included Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Josh Lucas, Samantha Mathis and Matt Ross. In 2002, a sequel to the film was made with Mila Kunis in the main role, but it was crushed by viewers and reviewers.
