Ironically, Elordi, 27, also played Elvis in Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” movie last year. Butler’s role as the King of Rock and Roll earned him an Oscar nomination in 2023. He was mocked on social media for spending three years transforming into Elvis and acting like the late star for the movie.

A new American Psycho film is in development, and movie lovers are not impressed with the star tipped to play its lead. The film is to be directed by Luca Guadagnino, the Italian film director behind some of the industry’s most talked about movies recently, including Challengers and Queer.

Luca Guadagnino’s take on American Psycho is shaping up. Austin Butler has landed the role of Patrick Bateman, originally played by Christian Bale, Variety reports. The trade reports that Jacob Elordi had previously been rumored to take the role; apparently, someone got their Elvises crossed.
