Before American Psycho began filming, Christian Bale set up a meeting with the book’s author, Bret Easton Ellis, to confirm he was the right fit for the role. Bale showed up fully dressed and behaving as Patrick Bateman. 10minutes in, Ellis asked him to stop. He later called it one of the creepiest moments of his life. To shape Bateman’s unsettling persona, Bale drew inspiration from an interview with Tom Cruise on David Letterman, describing Cruise as having an “intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes” a trait that perfectly embodied Bateman’s polished yet emotionally hollow nature.

In American Psycho there were moments when Christian Bale really “intimidated” Chloë Sevigny. “When people take themselves seriously, I shut down. I was intimidated by him and his process; I wanted generosity. I was like, ‘Why aren’t you being social?’

According to an interview with Samuel L. Jackson, he and writer and director John Singleton often argued over the direction of the film. After one particular argument, Singleton refused to come out of his trailer. Christian Bale didn't have any interest in playing the part of the villain, as he had just finished making American Psycho (2000). But he was reading through lines with Toni Collette, who has the part of the witness in the film, one day, and decided to give it a go as another villain after all. 🎬 SHAFT (2000)
