2025 marks the 25th anniversary of director Mary Harron’s Bret Easton EllisadaptationAmerican Psycho(watch itHERE), which has come to be known as a cult classic – and while fans celebrate the anniversary, director Luca Guadagnino, whose credits includeChallengers,Call Me By Your Name,Bones and All,Queer,and theSuspiriaremake, is gearing up to take the helm of anAmerican Psychoremake.Guadagninoreportedlysigned on to direct the film from a screenplay by Scott Z. Burns (Contagion) back in October, and in Decemberwe heardthat Austin Butler (Elvis) and Jacob Elordi(Saltburn) were being considered for the lead role of Patrick Bateman, the character who was played by Christian Bale in Harron’s film. Guadagnino confirmed the project at the CinemaCon event last month – and now, original American Psycho cast member Chloë Sevigny, who played Patrick Bateman’s secretary Jean, has told IndieWire that she wants to play the character in the remake as well. She has even pitched the idea directly to Guadagnino!
Harron’sAmerican Psychohad the following synopsis:Patrick Bateman is a young, handsome, Harvard educated Wall Street success, seemingly perfect with his stunning fiancé and entourage of high-powered friends. But his circle of friends doesn’t know the other Patrick Bateman, the one who lusts for more than status and material things. With a detective hot on his trail and temptation everywhere, Patrick Bateman can’t fight his terrible urges that take him on the pursuit of women, greed and the ultimate crime – murder! Based on the controversial book by Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho is a sexy thriller that sets forth a vision that is both terrifying and chilling.Harron wrote the screenplay with Guinevere Turner.
Sevigny told IndieWire, “When I heard that [Luca Guadagnino] was maybe doing it, I don’t know if he is for sure. I thought he was doing a World War II picture. I pitched to him that I should play Jean again, and that they do that reverse-aging on me. I thought that would be something that he would be into, conceptually having the same actress play the same part. But I don’t know. He said he was going to think of something else for me.” Sevigny and Guadagnino have previously worked together on Bones and All, the HBO series We Are Who We Are, the upcoming thriller After the Hunt, and this year’s Sundance premiere Atropia, which was written and directed by Hailey Gates and produced by Guadagnino.
