Harry here with the latest on that dangerous world of film sprouted from the root of all evil (riiiiiiiiiiiiiight) named Chuck Palahniuk. You know that FIGHT CLUB guy. Ah, now while we walk in the politically correct aftermath of our current historical place and time, his future, cinematically speaking, is certainly in question, but let's hear the latest...
Hello Harry,
I'm sending this incase anyone out there shares similar interests with me.
A few weeks ago Chuck Palahniuk came to Western Oregon University for a reading. Chuck Palahniuk is the author of 'Survivor', 'Invisible Mosters', 'Choke' and the cult classic in which the film was based on 'Fight Club'.
Chuck read from Fight Club and Choke and let also let a friend of his read from her novel in progress. During Q&A Chuck told us about how everyone has a different meaning for Fight Club. He spoke of a stweard who told Chuck that he knew Fight Club was really about "that whole gay thing." Chuck humored him "Don't tell anybody" and recieved free drinks for the rest of the flight.
Anyway, now for the good stuff.
Choke will most likely be made into a motion picture and the screenplay has or will be written by Chuck.
Fire-Proof Films has a lead for the rights of Invisible Monsters, which has no garrentee but Parker Posey has been given a copy of the book.
Lullaby, Palahniuk's latest creation due to be in book stores in September 2002 has little but some movie prospects and rumour has it that David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club) is interested.
And then there is poor Survivor which the idea of a movie has been pulled out of the question because studios are trying to steer clear of new projects based around plane hijackings after the attacks.
That's all for now.
This is Cantankerous Crab, over and out.
