BALE: BAT-SHIT CRAZYLos Angeles, CA – Christian Bale, star of such movies as “Empire of the Sun”, “The Dark Knight”, “Terminator Salvation”, and some shit about a fire-breathing dragon, is set to appear in the follow up to the hit movie “American Psycho”. Bateman is to reprise his role as the deranged, bloodthirsty, cannibalistic psychopath, Patrick Bateman, in "American Psycho 2: The Hookers Take Manhattan”.
Bateman, known for his unwavering commitment to method acting, often spent days dressed in a latex suit, speaking in the same voice he uses while doing a poo, during the filming of "The Dark Knight", and says he will spend at least six months preparing for this role. "It'll be an intense journey," he says, his accent switching from American to British and back again, "I'll probably spend between four and six hours a day in the gym, and later that night another three or four on the streets of New York stalking hookers and vagrants."
DARKER
Bale claims the new movie will be even darker than the last. "I saw the first movie as more of a comedy than anything else," he says laughing, in that mid-Atlantic accent of his, "But Bret (Easton Ellis – Author of the original novel) says we couldn't have got it more wrong. ’This is some dark shit, Bale,' he told me. ‘Don’t fuck it up again.'" And Bale vows not to. "I really need to get into the skin of a serial killer this time," he says, at first in a British accent, then in a kind of American one. "I'm going to try to kill at least one homeless guy a week," he says, "and maybe a hooker or two. I really don't have the stomach for more than that. I'm not really a serial killer."
When asked if he'll be indulging in any cannibalism for the role, Bale replies "Only if necessary. I won't be actively seeking to eat anybody, but if the role calls for it, then I'll have maybe a slice or two of some hooker, and perhaps some drifter's brains or guts. I certainly won't be shying away from anything.”

When asked if he felt any moral constraint towards these actions, he quickly refuted: “Look, you have to understand, this is my art. I’ve always prepared for my roles in this manner, and that won’t change. For ‘The Machinist’ I got my weight down to eight and a half stone; that’s 120 lbs." he says in that increasingly muddled accent of his. "For ‘Salvation’ I had our director, McG, send me into the future to blow up some robots. I mean, you all heard how I spoke to a senior member of the production crew on that movie, just because he ruined one lousy fucking scene,” he says, getting animated. “So in that regard, the murder and mutilation of society’s bottom tier is a small fucking ask, now isn’t it?” He’s shouting now. “Isn’t it? Answer me you fucking fuck.” With that, the interview ends, as Bale is restrained by seven security guards, but not before smashing his chair into the wall two or three times, and cursing his “cunt of a mother” repeatedly.
“American Psycho 2: The Hookers Take Manhattan” is due to be released in cinemas next year.
