After it was revealed that a new ‘American Psycho’ movie was in the works, speculation about which Hollywood star would play the coveted role of Patrick Bateman quickly started. While details about the project have yet to be revealed, multiple actors shared their thoughts on possibly auditioning for the movie, including Nicholas Alexander Chavez.
After rising to fame with his role in ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,’ the 25-year-old actor, who is embarking on new projects, revealed that he would be interested in playing the part in a new interpretation of the book ‘American Psycho’ by Bret Easton Ellis for Lionsgate, admitting that it would be one of his “dream roles.”
“Luca [Guadagnino] is a genius… I love the Bret Easton Ellis book, it’s been one of my favorites for a very very long time,” he said during his latest interview with Elle. The upcoming movie features a script by Scott Z. Burns and will not be a remake of the first movie, but instead a new adaptation of the book.
