As seen in the picture (supplied by Deadline), Nicolas Cage’s John Madden and Christian Bale’s Al Davis are both flaunting Super Bowl rings. As Madden served as the Raiders’ head coach from 1969 – 1978, that would put this picture sometime after the team’s Super Bowl XI victory over the Minnesota Vikings. That would be Madden’s only Super Bowl win, although Davis would go on to win it again in 1981 and 1984 (after the Raiders moved to Los Angeles.

Joining Cage and Bale in Madden will be Kathryn Hahn as John’s wife Virginia, Sienna Miller as Al’s wife Carol and John Mulaney as Trip Hawkins, who founded Electronic Arts, the company that launched the prolific Madden...

The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that the film will serve as more of an origin story of Madden NFL, one of the biggest video game franchises of all time.

Exclusive: As Amazon MGM Studios began production Tuesday on Madden, allow Deadline to bring you the first image of Nicolas Cage as Raiders head coach-turned-iconic broadcaster John Madden, and Christian Bale as Raiders team owner Al Davis.

David O. Russell is directing the film, which also stars John Mulaney as Trip Hawkins (the Electronic Arts founder who launched the perennial Madden video game), Kathryn Hahn as Virginia Madden, and Sienna Miller as Carol Davis.

Russell is directing from a script he wrote, following an earlier version by Cambron Clark. The film follows Madden’s unusual journey. A lifelong teacher of football strategy, Madden reached the pinnacle of the coaching profession when his Raiders won the Super Bowl, but he had to walk away because the job was killing him. Though he’d never played a video game before, he found new purpose with EA, helping shape the player moves onscreen,...

Greg Cannom, a renowned figure in cinematic makeup and prosthetics, has died at the age of 73. The news was confirmed Friday by longtime colleague and industry legend Rick Baker, who worked closely with Cannom in the early stages of both their careers. Cannom leaves behind a filmography spanning more than four decades and a legacy deeply imprinted on some of Hollywood’s most recognizable transformations.

Known for his precision and innovation, Cannom earned widespread recognition for makeup effects that redefined what was possible in film. He received four Academy Awards for makeup artistry, recognized for his work on Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992), Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), and Vice (2018). He was nominated for six additional Oscars and received five Emmy nominations throughout his career.

Cannom’s ability to craft believable transformations set new standards in character realism. His work involved extensive preparation, including sculpting prosthetics, testing materials,...

Greg Cannom, the masterful prosthetics and makeup specialist who received Oscars for his work on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Vice, has died. He was 73.

Cannom worked often with makeup maestro Rick Baker early in his career, and Baker on Friday reported his death in an Instagram post. “His work will be remembered long after his passing,” he wrote. No details were immediately available.

In March 2023, a GoFundMe page was set up to help Cannom with expenses as he battled diabetes and a staph infection that led to one of his legs being amputated below his knee.

In addition to his four wins, Cannom received six other Oscar makeup noms: for Hook (1991), Hoffa (1992), Roommates (1995), Titanic (1997), Bicentennial Man (1999) and A Beautiful Mind (2001).

He and Wesley Wofford shared an Academy Award for Technical Achievement in 2005 for “the development of their special modified silicone material...

Christopher Nolan had a unique vision when he took up Christian Bale’s Batman movies. The Dark Knight went on to become a classic in his filmography, a huge thanks to the memorable performance of Heath Ledger as the Joker. When his casting was first announced, Ledger’s casting faced widespread criticism, with many calling it a poor choice.

However, not only did he bring a remarkable performance to the screen, but he was also involved in some of the behind-the-scenes duties. He directed some disconcerting moments in the film with the permission of Nolan, who was impressed with the actor’s vision and allowed the scenes in his film.

The next movie to star Nicolas Cage has been revealed. This time, the veteran actor is heading to biblical times to help tell one of the lesser-known stories about the childhood of Jesus Christ.

Per Deadline, Cage is among the stars of the upcoming film The Carpenter's Son, which just had its U.S. rights picked up by Magnolia Pictures. Cage is playing The Carpenter, while FKA Twigs (The Crow) will co-star as Mother with Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place) playing the Boy. Lotfy Nathan (Harka) is the movie's writer and director. The plan is to give the film a theatrical release later in 2025, but a specific date has not yet been set.

The Carpenter's Son is inspired by the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. According to a description of the film, it "tells the dark story of a family hiding out in Roman Egypt. Known only as ‘the Boy’, the...

Sometimes, a movie character is cast so perfectly that you can’t even fathom another actor playing the role. Cue Christian Bale in American Psycho, a career-launching breakout performance as Patrick Bateman, the greedy, materialistic Wall Street yuppie who moonlights as a murderous, stark-raving mad psycho killer while trying to preserve his public mask of sanity. Whether it’s all in his mind, Bale plays Bateman with such outward surety and inward insecurity, such brooding intensity and mordant comedy at once, that he keeps viewers guessing about Bateman’s sick, twisted, hyperviolent fantasies.

To think that director Mary Harron had to fight tooth and nail to cast Bateman in the role is preposterous to consider now, 25 years after the film was released. But again, even if Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt played Patrick Bateman, both of whom were attached to the role at one point, neither would likely strike the...

Over the years, fans have watched their favorite superheroes play musical chairs with famous faces. Batman has been played by Michael Keaton, Christian Bale, and Ben Affleck, each bringing their own style to the Batcave. Superman’s changed too, from Christopher Reeve to Henry Cavill.

And then there’s Daredevil. Once played by Ben Affleck in a much-memed red leather phase, the devil of Hell’s Kitchen is now in the hands of Charlie Cox. But Cox’s parents had an interesting reaction when they discovered Daredevil had two faces. Here is what they said!

Charlie Cox’s parents’ hilarious reaction to watching Ben Affleck’s Daredevil!

While promoting Daredevil, Charlie Cox appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and shared a funny story about his parents’ reaction to the show.

After spending hours helping them set up their Disney+ account, Cox was eager for them to watch his version of Daredevil.

Like love and marriage, comic book movies and cameos are an institute you cannot disparage. Marvel might be the trailblazer in this regard, finding unique and innovative ways to shoehorn everyone and their uncle into a movie or TV show, but DC isn't immune from turning its audience into a real-life Pointing Rick Dalton meme. Yet, for every great appearance, there's also a flubber -- a moment that flops harder than "Joker: Folie à Deux" did at the box office.

Take a look at 2023's "The Flash" as an example. With all its multiversal potential, minds raced to the infinite possibilities, imagining the chances of seeing Christian Bale's Batman return for a triumphant third act cameo or even seeing Ryan Reynolds' Green Lantern fly in for a visit. Instead, it turned into a CGI horrorfest where the tributes to past heroes angered -- rather than captivated -- viewers. It...

Following the success of 2024's Trap starring Josh Hartnett, M. Night Shyamalan joined forces with Jake Gyllenhaal for his upcoming project. However, the upcoming film will also feature an unexpected collaboration.

Shyamalan, famous for his unique directorial style, will add a new unexpected genre to the mix as he works with romance author Nicholas Sparks. Their upcoming project will be a supernatural romantic thriller, and will also include a joint novel they co-wrote. Per Deadline, the upcoming film, titled Remain, has set a release date for Oct. 23, 2026.

The upcoming movie from The Sixth Sense filmmaker will be distributed by Warner Bros., with whom Shyamalan has a deal. The film's competition on its opening weekend will be Jordan Peele's untitled fourth project with Universal Pictures, also set to premiere on Oct. 23, 2026.

The upcoming Remain will feature Gyllenhaal in the leading role, who co-stars with Bridgerton's Phoebe Dynevor and Adolescence's Ashley Walters.

Image Source: Universal Pictures Home Entertainment Christian Bale has worked with some truly amazing directors during his impressive career. As a young boy, he got his big break with Steven Spielberg in Empire of the Sun. Years later, he teamed up with Christopher Nolan to create the unforgettable Batman in The Dark Knight movies and delivered a haunting performance in The Prestige. And who could forget the collaboration with Michael Mann? Bale has a unique gift for finding directors who are able to tap into his greatness, and help him disappear into his characters, throughout the course of his career in Hollywood. Most people think of his collaborations with Spielberg and Nolan; they don’t remember how Bale has worked with Mann, the director of the taut thrillers Heat and The Insider, and the man responsible for bringing Hannibal Lecter to the big screen in Manhunter. This powerful collaboration happened...

The ocean is unleashing a new predator this summer with Dangerous Animals, the new horror movie from Australian filmmaker Sean Byrne (The Loved Ones,The Devil’s Candy). A killer new trailer has arrived this morning. Watch it down below.

Dangerous Animals swims into theaters on June 6, 2025.

In the summer horror movie, “Trapped on a killer’s boat with hungry sharks circling below, a surfer must outwit a predator more dangerous than the ocean itself—will she escape, or become the next offering to the deep? Sean Byrne returns with his third visceral feature.”

With more than 15 years and 30 movies behind it, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still doing alright. Across this cavalcade of almost three dozen movies are a wide variety of iconic superheroes, grand stories, impressive visual tapestries, and the occasional entry that manages to be just “not bad.” We all have our rankings for the very best and the very worst of the Marvel series, but now JoBlo officially has the MCU movies ranked from Iron Man to the newly released Thunderbolts*. Here we go, from least to best:

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

Director Taika Waititi harnessed the mighty power of Chris Hemsworth’s sense of humor and blended it with his own colorful sensibilities for the hilarious, character-reviving Thor: Ragnarok. All eyes were on the sequel, Thor: Love and Thunder, especially given it would see the return of Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster (taking on the mantle of Mighty Thor). Sadly,...

Beneath all the sparkle of red carpets and fancy award nights, there’s a less glamorous story that’s been quietly brewing for years. Nope, it’s not a juicy plot twist of a thriller show or a surprise sequel of a movie—it’s the truth about unequal pay in Hollywood. While we’re busy watching blockbuster movies and binge-worthy shows, the stars we love aren’t always getting paid fairly, especially the women in the industry. Behind those dazzling scenes, the paycheck game isn’t as shiny, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mess.

It’s easy to assume all actors are rolling in dough. After all, they’re on screens worldwide, living characters that become pop culture icons. But when it comes to what they’re actually taking home, the difference between what male and female stars earn is sometimes jaw-droppingly huge. And no, it...

Bradley Cooper’s most emotionally draining role could have pushed him over the edge if not for an unexpected lesson from a co-star, known for his method acting. After 11 years, Cooper is revealing what helped him survive one of the most intense roles of his career. All thanks to Christian Bale, who is known for disappearing into his characters.

The movie had recently resurfaced as a surprise hit on Netflix, with viewers praising Cooper’s intensity. Cooper revealed how working alongside Bale changed the way he approached the demanding role of Navy Seal Chris Kyle in Clint Eastwood’s movie.

Actor Christian Bale is known for his chameleon-like quality he brings to his roles, which often require dramatic transformations. As a result, it is no surprise that Bale leans heavily towards method acting, especially for some of his more prominent roles that have established him as one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood.

Despite being known for his stint as DC’s Dark Knight on the big screen, Bale also forayed into the MCU with his appearance in Thor: Love & Thunder. However, Bale admitted in an interview that his role as the film’s primary villain did not require him to pull on his method acting muscles, and here is what the actor had to say about his approach to the role.

2025 marks the 25th anniversary of director Mary Harron’s Bret Easton Ellis adaptation American Psycho (watch it Here), which has come to be known as a cult classic – and while fans celebrate the anniversary, director Luca Guadagnino, whose credits include Challengers, Call Me By Your Name, Bones and All, Queer, and the Suspiria remake, is gearing up to take the helm of an American Psycho remake. Guadagnino reportedly signed on to direct the film from a screenplay by Scott Z. Burns (Contagion) back in October, and in December we heard that 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...

David O Russell has Shutout on his slate, with Jenna Ortega and Robert De Niro set to star. More on the film here.

Back in the 1980s, Martin Scorsese went through a period of being a director for hire and being Martin Scorsese, the results were a joy to watch. Perhaps the most fun film to watch from the Goodfellas director’s ‘gun for hire’ era was 1986’s The Color Of Money, a thrilling sports drama starring Paul Newman and Tom Cruise visiting smoky pool halls and parting locals from their hard-earned cash.

The pool hustling genre is a pretty shallow one and nothing has arrived in the decades since to spirit away The Color Of Money's crown. A couple of contenders tried at the turn of the century, including Pool Hall Junkies and Stickmen. It feels like a long, long time since we’ve even seen a high...

Image Source: Paramount Pictures The year was 1991, and the ground shifted. Terminator 2: Judgment Day didn’t just smash box office records; it redefined cinematic sequels and etched itself into the halls of sci-fi legend. The liquid metal T-1000, the protective T-800, the relentless stakes – it was a masterclass. Then came the inevitable return in 2003 with Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, followed by a detour into the past with Christian Bale leading the prequel, Terminator Salvation. But the pull of the future (and the past) is strong. In 2015, Terminator Genisys attempted a reboot, and then, in 2019, the iconic roar of the Terminator engine echoed once more with Terminator: Dark Fate. This time, however, felt different. For the first time since the groundbreaking Terminator 2, the visionary director and writer himself, James Cameron, returned to the franchise, not to direct, but to produce and shape the story. And that wasn’t all.

Patrick Schwarzeneggerhas shown some love towards an upcoming remake, revealing that he would like to have a part in it. The star of HBO's "resort people are the worst" series, The White Lotus, most likely saw his career go one step up after the success of Season 3, where he played an annoying rich young man who saw his insecurities arise while staying at the Thai branch of the hotel. Nevertheless, there's one specific role that Patrick is apparently seeking, and that is Patrick Bateman, the main character in the thrillerAmerican Psycho.

A reboot of American Psycho is currently in development, with Suspiria and Challengers director Luca Guadagnino at the helm. Casting for this new adaptation remains to be confirmed, and while Elvis' Austin Butler always seemed like an obvious frontrunner, Guadagnino has simply not talked about the new Patrick Bateman.

Casting the lead in American Psycho is not easy because...

Lili Reinhart doesn’t bite her tongue—and that’s exactly why fans love her. The Riverdale star isn’t expected to hit the Met Gala red carpet this year—and honestly, it’s no shocker.

She’s been serving up real talk for years now—whether it’s about her sexuality, mental health, or the brutal body standards in Hollywood. Remember when she went full don’t-hold-back mode and called out Kim Kardashian in 2022 for crash dieting to squeeze into Marilyn Monroe’s legendary dress? Yeah, that moment. She later told W Magazine she didn’t expect to be invited back after that. Spoiler alert: she wasn’t in 2023 and 2025, and the 2025 guest list isn’t looking any different.

But Lili’s not losing sleep over it. These days, she’s more into loving her body than chasing couture validation. Sure, living in the spotlight comes with pressure to always look airbrushed and flawless,...

In October 2024, it was revealed that a new American Psycho movie was in development, with Luca Guadagnino (known for Queer and Challengers) attached to direct and Scott Z. Burns (Extrapolations) writing the script for Lionsgate. Now we've learned that one of the stars from the original 2000 horror classic wants to return and reprise their role in the upcoming reimagining. That star is Golden Globe Award-winning actress Chloë Sevigny, who played Patrick Bateman’s secretary Jean in Mary Harron's American Psycho adaptation.

In a recent interview with IndieWire, Sevigny spoke about her desire to return to the American Psycho universe, expressing interest in reprising her role as Jean in Guadagnino's new take. Although she initially wasn’t sure if the director was officially moving forward with the project, she pitched the idea of returning to her character with the help of de-aging technology. She also noted that while Guadagnino didn’t commit to her idea,...

Robert De Niro will star as Jenna Ortega's mentor in a brand-new film called Shutout. David O. Russell, who previously worked on I Heart Huckabees, Silver Linings Playbook, is set to direct.

Per Deadline, the movie is described as a "pool hustler feature". De Niro will star as Jake Kejeune, one of the last masters of the art of pool hustling. "Having lived and lost by the roll of a ball in smoky backroom halls, Jake encounters Mia (Jenna Ortega), a young prodigy whose raw, electrifying talent reignites a fire he thought long extinguished," the official description reads.

Jake will take Mia under his wing, helping her to refine her instincts, as the two find themselves going deeper into the world of "high-stakes pool" where they walk a tight rope between unthinkable riches and devastating losses. The film's description goes on to tease potential conflict between De Niro and Ortega's characters.

It was recently revealed that Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino wouldn’t be shooting the DC Comics film “Sgt. Rock” this summer (as the pic is now stuck in limbo) and the expectation is he’ll be now focusing on his remake of the 2000 film “American Psycho” based on the Bret Easton Ellis novel for Lionsgate. Two actors now want in on the serial killer thriller, including one who appeared alongside Christian Bale in the original.

Patrick Schwarzenegger wants a lead role in the 'American Psycho' remake.The 'White Lotus' star has expressed his desire to star in Luca Guadagnino's modern version of the 2000 Mary Harron horror classic - which starred Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman, a New York City investment banker who leads a double life as a serial killer.One fan wrote on X recently: “Patrick Schwarzenegger, I’ve found your breakout role.” To which, the actor replied: “I’d love nothing more [wink].”Guadagnino recently teased “the script is coming out very handsomely” for the flick.Appearing in a video segment at CinemaCon, the filmmaker said: “We are really working hard to bring to the screen a new adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ ‘American Psycho’, a book that I deeply love that is something that influenced me so much. “[Writer Scott Z. Burns] is doing an incredible job. The script is coming out very handsomely.

Michael Keaton famously starred as the Dark Knight in both of Tim Burton's Batman movies, and his performance remains a favorite for many fans of the DC character. The role could have gone to the actor's Beetlejuice co-star, Alec Baldwin, but Burton didn't feel he was right for the role.

Baldwin discussed the subject during a recent interview for his brother Stephen Baldwin's podcast One Bad Movie. He noted how his ex-wife, Kim Basinger, has a role as Vicki Vale in the original Batman film by Burton. Baldwin then explained that Basinger told him that she'd spoken with Burton about why he wound up casting Keaton as Bruce Wayne. This was said to be because Burton was looking for someone who'd make a more believable Bruce Wayne than Batman, and the director was having trouble imagining Baldwin such a troubled character.

"Well, back then, he said, he told my ex-wife,...

As Hollywood patiently awaits a new Patrick Bateman, one American Psycho (2000) alum wants to reprise their role.

Chloë Sevigny, who can next be seen in Luca Guadagnino‘s thriller After the Hunt, revealed she pitched the director on revisiting the character of Patrick’s secretary Jean in his upcoming adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ 1991 book.

“When I heard that [Guadagnino] was maybe doing it … I pitched to him that I should play Jean again, and that they do that reverse-aging on me,” she told IndieWire. “I thought that would be something that he would be into, conceptually having the same actress play the same part.”

Sevigny added, “But I don’t know. He said he was going to think of something else for me.”

American Psycho was a groundbreaking and controversial work when it was published in 1991, not only for its iconic Manhattan investment banker-turned-serial killer but also for its incredible...

As far as remakes and legacy sequels go, which often can be summed up as a product of corporate greed, the upcoming American Psycho might bring something new to the table. Earlier this year, Luca Guadagnino, the mind behind hits, including Challengers and Call Me By Your Name, teased a new adaptation of the Bret Easton Ellis novel, with a script from Scott Z. Burns.

Although the movie is said to be a new adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ novel rather than a remake of the Christian Bale-starrer, Chloë Sevigny, who was involved in the first movie, was hoping to return in this retelling.

Chloë Sevigny has had a knack for starring in polarizing and experimental features, whether it’s her 1995 breakout release, Kids, or Mary Harron’s American Psycho,...

American Psycho's Chloë Sevigny is ready to reprise her role in Luca Guadagnino's new adaptation. She's already talked with him about having a part in the new picture.

Sevigny originally starred opposite Christian Bale in the 2000 American Psycho film as Jean, Patrick Bateman's (Bale) secretary. It's a role that Sevigny seems eager to reprise in a new adaptation of the controversial Bret Easton Ellis novel. "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," Sevigny told IndieWire. "I pitched to him that I should play Jean again, and that they do that reverse-aging on me."

It appears that Guadgnino wasn't quite as enthusiastic about the idea. "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.

Move over, Austin Butler, there is a new young star vying to play Patrick Bateman in Luca Guadagnino’s highly anticipated “American Psycho.”

An X user (formerly Twitter) posted on April 30 that he had “found” Schwarzenegger’s “breakout role,” replying to a report that “American Psycho” will be Guadagnino’s next film in production. Schwarzenegger then responded to the post, writing, “I’d love nothing more.”

This isn’t the first time the “White Lotus” star has expressed interest in playing the murderous Wall Street banker. Back in 2024, in a reply to Variety‘s X post reporting Guadagnino’s undertaking of a new “American Psycho” film, Schwarzenegger wrote, “My dream.”

Back in late 2024, Variety exclusively reported that Butler was in talks to star in Guadagnino’s “American Psycho” as Patrick Bateman, a role originated by Christian Bale in 2000. However, no further developments have been made toward Butler joining the film,...

One of the original “American Psycho” cast members is looking to board the recently announced remake from Luca Guadagnino. Chloë Sevigny, who played Patrick Bateman’s (Christian Bale) secretary Jean in Mary Harron’s 2000 film, told IndieWire that she pitched Guadagnino about returning to the world of “American Psycho” in his new reimagining.

“When I heard that [Luca Guadagnino] was maybe doing it, I don’t know if he is for sure.

One star of Max’s The White Lotusis trying to get the attention of director Luca Guadagnino’s planned American Psycho reboot. Patrick Schwarzenegger, who plays Saxon Ratliff in The White Lotus, took to social media to voice his interest in playing the lead character in the upcoming American Psycho remake. The original movie, arguably one of Christian Bale's best performances, was released in 2000 and starred Bale as the lead character, Patrick Bateman.

Schwarzenegger replied to a post on the social media platform X, after a user questioned if playing the iconic Patrick Bateman character could potentially be his “breakout role.” Schwarzenegger replied, “I’d love nothing more."

Patrick Schwarzenegger has once again opened up about his wish to succeed Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman on screen. Schwarzenegger is a long-time fan of American Psycho and has been vocal about his desire to take over the role of Patrick Bateman in the remake.

But Patrick Schwarzenegger’s insane desire to “dissect girls” does not sound unnatural after how he recently became the talk of the town for an incestuous s*x scene in The White Lotus Season 3. While the world was shocked to see the moment between Saxon Ratliff and his younger brother, Schwarzenegger revealed that he had “fun” filming the controversial scene.

Chloë Sevigny has expressed interest in returning as Jean, the character she portrayed in the 2000 adaptation of American Psycho, for Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming film based on the same source material. Sevigny confirmed that she reached out to Guadagnino directly, suggesting she reprise her role using digital de-aging technology.

“I pitched to him that I should play Jean again and that they do that reverse-aging on me,” she said in a recent IndieWire interview. “I thought that would be something that he would be into, conceptually having the same actress play the same part.” According to Sevigny, Guadagnino responded by saying he was thinking of another role for her.

Casting for the film is ongoing. The role of Patrick Bateman, the affluent New York investment banker with a violent secret life, has not yet been filled. The original film featured Christian Bale as Bateman and was directed by Mary Harron.

Mark your watchlists, a new Gal Gadot movie is in the works. We’re still reeling from all the controversy surrounding that subpar Snow White remake. Regardless, the actor who became a household name with Wonder Woman has no time for such trivialities in life. She has been busy lately. And from the looks of things, it’s for all the right reasons.

Soon, everyone will forget about Snow White’s politically charged backlash that (quite distastefully) managed to drag even the Israel-Palestine conflict into its midst. That’s just how Hollywood’s ruthless engine has functioned for a long time. Nevertheless, Gadot’s new movie is bound to give many talking heads something new to talk about. After all, she’s stepping into the shoes of a “newly released camp prisoner” in post-wwii Germany.

Chloe Sevigny wants to be a part of Luca Guadagnino‘s new American Psycho film.

If you didn’t know, last year, it was confirmed that Luca will be directing an upcoming American Psycho movie. It will not be a remake of the 2000 film starring Christian Bale, but is rather described as a new interpretation.

Now, the 50-year-old actress, who played Jean in the original film, told the director she wants to reprise her role.

“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,” Chloe told IndieWire.

There is an idea of a Patrick Schwarzenegger… who is campaigning to star in Luca Guadagnino‘s upcoming American Psycho adaptation.

Following his recent turn on HBO’s The White Lotus, the actor is once again setting his sights on the coveted role of Patrick Bateman, which was previously portrayed by Christian Bale in the 2000 feature film based on Bret Easton Ellis’ 1991 novel.

“I’d love nothing more ;)” wrote Schwarzenegger to a fan on X who suggested he be cast in the Lionsgate project.

Schwarzenegger previously declared it would be “my dream” to play Bateman when the adaptation was announced in October, to be penned by Scott Z. Burns.

American Psycho was a groundbreaking and controversial work when it was published in 1991, not only for its iconic Manhattan investment banker-turned-serial killer but also for its incredible attention to detail for the world it was entering, as well as the graphic violence its main character delivered,...

Chloë Sevigny wants in on Luca Guadagnino’s new American Psycho film.

Sevigny played 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 same name, she made her interest known 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 recently told IndieWire.

The Monsters actress continued, “He said he was going to think of something else for me.” Casting is still underway for the role of Jean, but it is also for the lead, Bateman, who Christian Bale originally portrayed.

Many actors’ names have been rumored to play Bateman, such as Austin Butler and Patrick Schwarzenegger, to name a few.

Patrick Schwarzenegger is manifesting playing Patrick Bateman in the new American Psycho film.

If you didn’t know, last year, it was confirmed that Luca Guadagnino will be directing an upcoming American Psycho movie. It will not be a remake of the 2000 film starring Christian Bale, but is rather described as a new interpretation.

On a recent post giving details about the film, an X user wrote “Patrick Schwarzenegger, I’ve found your breakout role,” referring to the lead character of Patrick Bateman.

The 31-year-old White Lotus star then expressed his enthusiasm by responding in the comments.

“I’d love nothing more,” he wrote, followed by a winky face.

In December 2024, reports circulated that Austin Butler would play Patrick Bateman. However, these rumors have not been confirmed. It has also not been verified if Patrick will star in the movie.

If you didn’t see,...

Patrick Schwarzenegger is hoping to take a stab at a choice role that happens to bear his first name.

Schwarzenegger, who has made no secret over the years of his affinity for American Psycho, is continuing to publicly voice his interest in lead character Patrick Bateman in director Luca Guadagnino’s planned feature adaptation of author Bret Easton Ellis’ 1991 best-selling novel. Christian Bale played the investment banker harboring murderous fantasies in director Mary Harron’s cult-favorite film version that hit theaters in 2000 from Lionsgate.

In response to an X (formerly Twitter) user posting Wednesday that playing Bateman could be Schwarzenegger’s “breakout role,” the actor replied, “I’d love nothing more,” adding a winking emoticon.

This is not the first time that Schwarzenegger, who earned acclaim for his work on the recently concluded third season of HBO’s The White Lotus, has made it known that he has his heart...

If there’s one thing that’s been made especially clear in the last few years of Marvel movies — and now even more so in “Thunderbolts*” — it’s that the Avengers are gone, and Earth is sorely missing its mightiest heroes. But what exactly happened to all of them?

It can be hard to remember where everyone ended up after “Avengers: Endgame,” especially because in the six years since that movie came out, there have been 25 new projects (split between TV series and movies). So, we figured it was about time to take stock, especially since that final line-up of Avengers was pretty extensive.

Here’s what happened to everyone, and why they haven’t shown up in awhile.

Nick Fury isn’t technically an Avenger, but he is of course the man responsible for bringing Earth’s Mightiest Heroes together — and thus...

Was Kit Harington embarrassed by Bella Ramsey?(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Before The Last of Us catapulted Bella Ramsey into the HBO spotlight, they were already turning heads in Westeros. At just 11 years old, Ramsey made a splash on Game of Thrones as the fierce Lady Lyanna Mormont — and apparently, even seasoned actors like Kit Harington weren’t immune to being outshone.

In a recent chat for Interview Magazine, the two stars revisited their first scene together on Thrones. And Ramsey didn’t hold back when recalling a hilariously awkward moment on set. “I don’t know whether you remember this,” they said to Harington, “but I remember it quite vividly and have some remorse for it now, but during that scene I was mouthing your lines to you.”

Yep — Ramsey, then a fresh-faced preteen, was subtly coaching Jon Snow himself through his dialogue. Bold move, but it came from a good place.

Which Hargreeves’ sibling has the strongest power?(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy presented the world with the most chaotic sibling dynamics. The show primarily revolves around 7 Hargreeves siblings, born on the same day and adopted by the eccentric billionaire Reginald Hargreeves. The squad gets trained and turned into a dysfunctional superhero family as they try to save the world from its doom. Across four seasons, the powers of the Hargreeves siblings have evolved along with their relationship dynamics. But which one among them is the strongest?

Let’s start with Luther, Number One. He’s got super strength, and thanks to a life-altering serum, the upper body of an ape. He’s loyal and brave, but his abilities, though impressive in a brawl, don’t measure up to some of his siblings in terms of sheer destructive potential. Diego, Number Two, is a knife-throwing vigilante who can...
