Patrick Schwarzenegger has said he dreams of playing Patrick Bateman in a new version of "American Psycho"
A still from "The White Lotus"

Patrick Schwarzenegger has publicly expressed his desire to play the lead role in the new film adaptation of "American Psycho" that director Luca Guadagnino is working on. The actor responded "I’d love nothing more" to an X post where one user called the project his "breakout role".

This is not the first time Schwarzenegger has expressed interest in the role of Patrick Bateman: earlier in 2024, in a comment under the Variety news story, he also called it his dream to take part in the project.

Earlier it was reported that Austin Butler could appear in the role of the main character, but since then no additional confirmations have been received. Jacob Elordi was also mentioned, but his candidacy was rumored to have been rejected.

I don't mind. I liked him in the last season of Lotus, if not for him, the season would have turned out to be extremely boring, but at least Patrick in a shirt constantly reminded his father in his youth)

I think he could have done it. If you look at the same White Lotus, then many of the qualities inherent in Bateman are perfectly played out there.

It would be necessary to review the film
I remember watching it a long time ago and being disappointed in the movie, unlike the book...

The actor's desire to play a difficult role with a high standard already set by another is commendable! Let him dare!)

Patrick is more gifted as an actor than his father (there's charisma and a bodybuilding type there, if the fans will forgive me), but it's very, very unlikely that he can take out the competition with Bale.

@Hidji: Patrick saw only in the spinoff of boys - well, a tree is a tree

@karaspunk: We're mostly relying on his role in the White Lotus here. I can't really remember much else besides that. Except maybe Midnight Sun with Bella Thorne.

@karaspunk: It just seems to me that the type of good guys is not his. And here it's more interesting. He's great at playing douchebags.

Of course, no one can beat Bail. But! There are vibes like that in Patrick Schwarzenegger, despite his vanilla appearance, I think he can play a psychopath very well.
