Armie Hammer 'perfect' for American Psycho remake, fans say, 3 years after cannibalism scandal ended career


Armie Hammer is being touted as a potential lead star for the new American Psycho film by fans -  3 years after his cannibalism scandal imploded his career.

The actor, 38, who was at the peak of his fame, fell from grace when a series of disturbing allegations were made against him by multiple women, who accused him of violent abuse and harboring cannibalism fantasies. Bale, 50, received critical acclaim for his portrayal of yuppy serial killer Patrick Bateman in the 2000 film directed by Mary Harron - with the movie developing a cult following in the decades since. In 2004, Bale lost five stone to play emaciated insomniac Trevor Reznik in The Machinist by barely sleeping and surviving on a diet of coffee and apples.
