We know Christian Bale from prestigious roles such as Batman in Christopher Nolan’s «Dark Knight» trilogy or John Connor in «Terminator Salvation» and associate him with the physical transformations he is regularly willing and happy to undergo for his roles us every few years to see him again at the Oscars (the Welshman has had a whopping four nominations since 2011). But that wasn’t always the case: Even though the versatile character mime has been in front of the camera regularly since the 80s, his breakthrough was a long time coming at the turn of the millennium.
The first screen appearance that film fans consciously think of — even before cult films like «The Machinist» (2004) or «Equilibrium» (2002) — is likely to be in Mary Harron’s » American Psycho » from 2000. The cult shocker between biting satire and bloodthirsty serial killer thriller still enjoys enormous popularity after more than 20 years. This is also underlined by the fact that the local 4K first edition from the summer of 2021 has long been out of print and can hardly be obtained or can only be obtained for expensive money. This is exactly why the distributor Koch Media is now remedying the situation: «American Psycho» will be released again on September 15, 2022 on 4K Blu-ray — as a strictly limited special edition available exclusively from Amazon:
» «American Psycho» 4K Special Edition at Amazon *
» «American Psycho» 4K First Edition at Amazon *
It is doubtful whether the new edition will be available for longer. The 3-disc set including 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray and bonus DVD is not only available for a relatively small thaler in view of its scope, but should also attract a few additional buyers due to its elegant presentation in a brand new design attract. Since the edition is already storming the Amazon sales charts, one thing can definitely be said: If you don’t want to miss out on the thing, you should probably pre-order it.
«American Psycho»: Inconceivable without Christian Bale!
Movie fans know and love «American Psycho» just as it is. The film adaptation of the book, which for long stretches even sticks exactly word for word to the novel by Bret Easton Ellis, would have looked almost completely different. The original plan at the end of the 90s was to adapt the material with «Romeo & Juliet» and «Titanic» starring Leonardo DiCaprio , who had just risen to become a superstar.

Already signed-on director Mary Harron , who wanted Christian Bale, was once even replaced by cult filmmaker Oliver Stone , who wanted to take the DiCaprio-led film in a completely different direction. Both Stone and DiCaprio ended up officially leaving the project due to creative differences, giving Harron her shot with Bale — and not entirely by accident, rumor has it.

DiCaprio is said to have had doubts when feminist activist Gloria Steinem advised him not to take on the role because the orgy of carnage would ruin his popularity with his target audience (young women). The crux of the matter, however, is Steinem’s relationship with Christian Bale: Because at that time she was already in a relationship with his father David Bale , whom she finally married in 2000.
Admittedly, if you see how DiCaprio lets off steam acting in » The Wolf Of Wall Street » or » Once Upon A Time In Hollywood «, it would probably also be a pleasure to watch him sweat beads of various shades of white from business cards on his forehead or he covers his apartment with newspaper before swinging his hips and finally the ax to hip music. But would it have been just as much fun with a young Leo back then? It doesn’t matter, it turned out differently in the end anyway. And that’s probably a good thing: because once you’ve seen how Christian Bale performs at his best in the role of the unbridled, smug stockbroker, you probably can’t and don’t want to imagine anyone else in the role anyway!
