Austin Butler will star in American Psycho remake, but fans have issue with casting choice
The highly anticipated remake of American Psycho has finally found its leading man - Austin Butler. However, fans seem to be a bit skeptical about this casting decision. After much speculation and rumors, it has been confirmed that 33-year-old Austin will be taking on the iconic role of Patrick Bateman.

For those unfamiliar with the story, American Psycho follows the life of a wealthy Wall Street yuppie who also happens to be a serial killer. The original film, released in 2000, starred Christian Bale and received critical acclaim for his chilling portrayal of Bateman. The remake will be directed by Luca Guadagnino, known for his work on Call Me By Your Name, Queer, and Challengers.

Variety broke the news with a statement that read, "Austin Butler is set to star in Luca Guadagnino's new interpretation of the book 'American Psycho' by Bret Easton Ellis for Lionsgate." However, this announcement has sparked a heated debate among fans on social media.

Many are questioning the need for a remake, as the 2000 film is considered a timeless masterpiece. Fans are taking to social media to express their disappointment, with some stating that the original film is perfect and doesn't require a remake after just 24 years. "Noooooooo!! Leave that masterpiece alone!! No one will ever be better than the original Patrick Bateman," said one fan.

Another fan added, "I feel like the original does not need a remake. Stop with the regurgitating and make new, quality films." While some are skeptical about the remake in general, others have expressed their doubts about Austin Butler's ability to pull off the role.

Austin Butler rose to fame through his roles on Nickelodeon and the Disney channel. He is currently sporting a cropped haircut and has been praised for his recent performances, including his portrayal of Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann's film Elvis. The actor won the Golden Globe and BAFTA Awards and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor.

Despite his recent success, some fans are unsure if Austin has the sinister look required for the role of Patrick Bateman. "Austin Butler for the new American Psycho movie? He doesn't even look the part lol," commented one fan. Another added, "I'm sure Austin Butler will do a good job acting, but he does not look like a finance bro in the slightest."

However, there are some who believe that Austin's acting skills will make up for any physical appearance concerns. "If they had to remake American Psycho, this is good casting. But they don't have to remake American Psycho," said one fan.

In addition to his role in American Psycho, Austin has also been praised for his recent performances in Dune: Part Two and Masters of the Air. He will also be appearing in the upcoming black comedy movie Eddington and crime thriller Caught Stealing. It's safe to say that Austin's career is on the rise, and we can't wait to see his take on Patrick Bateman.
