A new American Psycho film is in development, and movie lovers are not impressed with the star tipped to play its lead. The film is to be directed by Luca Guadagnino, the Italian film director behind some of the industry’s most talked about movies recently, including Challengers and Queer.

Ironically, Elordi, 27, also played Elvis in Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” movie last year. Butler’s role as the King of Rock and Roll earned him an Oscar nomination in 2023. He was mocked on social media for spending three years transforming into Elvis and acting like the late star for the movie.

Austin Butler will star as Patrick Bateman in the new "American Psycho" movie, according to Variety. Luca Guadagnino will direct the new movie, which Scott Z. Burns wrote. They have said the movie will not be a remake of the original 2000 "American Psycho" movie but will be a new adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' novel.
