  • Butler's acclaimed performance as the villainous Feyd-Rautha in Dune 2 has producers betting he can capture the chilling darkness of Bateman, with hopes his casting could lead to a Batman role down the line.
  • Director Luca Guadagnino (Challengers) and writer Scott Z. Burns (The Bourne Ultimatum) are bringing a fresh, stylized perspective to the 1980s social satire, aiming to satirize modern consumerism as sharply as the original.
