"Whoever wants to give it a shot, give it a pop! I loved making it with Mary Harron so many years back. Fantastic memories of it all. Bold choice of anyone to try to do a ... I don't know if they're trying to do a remake or what. But all the best to 'em."
"Ellis said on his podcast this February that 'high profile' actors turned down the part, theorizing that 'they don't want to be in the shoes of Christian Bale.' Someone will just have to be a brave person."
Christian Bale, who starred in Mary Harron's 2000 adaptation of American Psycho, offered encouragement for Luca Guadagnino's planned remake. Bale recalled positive memories from working with Harron on the original film, despite initially not being the studio's preferred choice for the role. He acknowledged the boldness of attempting a new adaptation and praised brave creative choices. Guadagnino's version features a script by Scott Z. Burns and Bret Easton Ellis himself. The project has faced casting challenges, with Austin Butler rumored but unconfirmed for the lead role. Ellis revealed that high-profile actors have declined the part, suggesting reluctance to follow in Bale's footsteps.
