Oscar-nominated star of Elvis will take on lead role in Challengers director’s take on Bret Easton Ellis’s novel

Austin Butler is set to play Patrick Bateman in the director Luca Guadagnino’s new take on Bret Easton Ellis’s American Psycho. Guadagnino, whose credits include Call Me by Your Name and this year’s tennis drama Challengers, will not be remaking Mary Harron’s acclaimed 2000 adaptation but will craft a new interpretation. He will next star in Ari Aster’s comedy western Eddington alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone, and Darren Aronofsky’s 90s-set crime thriller Caught Stealing with Zoë Kravitz.
