Cooper Koch Expresses Desire To Play Patrick Bateman In ‘American Psycho’ Adaptation

Buy Me A Coffee

Cooper Koch, the 28-year-old star of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, is cooking up a killer idea โ€“ literally. Spotted at the Academy Museum Gala on Saturday night (October 19) in Los Angeles, Cooper let it slip that heโ€™s eyeing a role that would have Christian Bale raising a well-manicured eyebrow.

Drumroll, please… Cooper wants to be Patrick Bateman, the American Psycho himself. Yep, heโ€™s ready to channel his inner Wall Street psycho, throw on a raincoat, and take an axe to… um, metaphorically speaking. Or is it? ๐Ÿ‘€

Apparently, Luca Guadagnino (the genius behind Call Me By Your Name and Bones and All) is this close to signing on to direct a fresh take on the classic satirical thriller, according to Deadline. And just to clear things up โ€“ itโ€™s not a โ€œremakeโ€ of the 2000 movie where Christian Bale gave us the most intense business card showdown of all time. No, this is a whole new adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s original 1991 novel, courtesy of Scott Z. Burns (whoโ€™s probably somewhere writing wildly right now).

When asked about the idea, Cooper was all in:
โ€œLucaโ€™s doing American Psycho, so I think I can do Patrick Bateman,โ€ he said with a level of confidence that screams, โ€œSomeone get this man an axe!โ€
He then added, โ€œI havenโ€™t played a serial killer yet, so I think I could do it.โ€ You know, like itโ€™s a normal Tuesday kind of thing. ๐ŸŒ

Cooper kept the energy high, teasing that Hollywood is knocking on his door post-Monsters success. โ€œThings are coming in, things are moving, things are happening,โ€ he said, sounding like heโ€™s juggling five Hollywood projects and a fantasy football league all at once. โ€œTaking meetings, and the needle is threading…โ€ Threading what exactly? A murder suit, perhaps? Who knows! But hey, nothingโ€™s confirmed yet โ€“ the world of showbiz is just a beautifully chaotic waiting game.

And as for Cooper’s movie pick of the year? He gave that honor to Lucaโ€™s film Challengers. Good taste, right? Of course, if the Bateman thing works out, Cooper might soon be starring in someone elseโ€™s favorite movie of the year.

One thingโ€™s for sure: Cooper is on the prowl for his next big gig, and if it involves playing a deranged, Huey Lewis-loving finance bro… well, weโ€™re already buying tickets.
