Kerry Barden, the casting director for the new adaptation of 'American Psycho,' remarked that Austin Butler may be too beautiful for the role of Patrick Bateman. He suggested Butler would be better suited for the character Paul Allen, made famous by Jared Leto in the original film. Barden praised Butler's depth as an actor but highlighted the unique beauty that comes with the role. Directed by Luca Guadagnino, this adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' novel strives to present a fresh take, distinct from the 2000 film starring Christian Bale.
Barden believes Austin Butler is too beautiful for the role of Patrick Bateman, suggesting he would be better as Paul Allen instead, noting his 'depth' as an actor.
Kerry Barden emphasized the rarity of Butler's beauty in casting, stating 'not every person has that kind of beauty,' comparing him to Jared Leto's character.
Guadagnino's adaptation is described as a love letter to Bret Easton Ellis' work, indicating that the film will not merely repeat the previous cinematic version.
While Butler's casting in the lead role of 'American Psycho' is reported, he has yet to officially confirm, with other actors like Jacob Elordi being speculated.
