Chloë Sevigny needs in on Luca Guadagnino‘s new American Psycho movie.
Sevigny performed Patrick Bateman’s secretary, Jean, in the 2000 satire, directed by Mary Harron. When she heard that Guadagnino would direct a new adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ novel of the identical title, she made her curiosity recognized to the filmmaker.
“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,” Sevigny lately instructed IndieWire.
The Monsters actress continued, “He said he was going to think of something else for me.” Casting remains to be underway for the position of Jean, however it is usually for the lead, Bateman, who Christian Bale initially portrayed.
Many actors’ names have been rumored to play Bateman, reminiscent of Austin Butler and Patrick Schwarzenegger, to title a couple of. The unique movie’s casting director, Kerry Barden, instructed The Hollywood Reporter final month that Jared Leto’s position of Paul Allen can be a greater match for Butler. “I would cast Austin in Jared’s role because he’s that beautiful, and that’s why we cast Jared, is because he’s that beautiful,” he stated. “Jared is certainly a great actor as well, and obviously, Austin has a lot of depth as an actor, too. But not every person has that kind of beauty.”
As far as Schwarzenegger, he replied to a fan’s tweet on X on Wednesday suggesting Bateman can be his “breakout role,” by writing, “I’d love nothing more,” adopted by a winking emoticon.
Guadagnino’s American Psycho is about at Lionsgate with a script penned by Scott Z. Burns. The launch date is but to be introduced.
