Bret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho, stated on his podcast that he believes the reports of Austin Butler being cast as Patrick Bateman are 'fake news.' He mentioned that Butler hasn't signed a contract and emphasizes he's not involved in the project. According to Ellis, it seems the news was circulated to gauge audience reaction rather than indicating a real casting.
Industry insider Jeff Sneider added that the announcement regarding American Psycho was primarily a strategy to attract potential buyers to Lionsgate rather than to confirm an actual film. This insight suggests a potential agenda behind the news, hinting at market pressures affecting decisions in the film industry.
