Just when you thought you had seen it all, you find out that one of the best movies ever made might become (gasp!)...a musical. That's right; Fight Club is slated to become a Broadway musical. In a recent interview with MTV.com, David Fincher expressed interest in a truly theatrical interpretation of the film, which would hit in 2009, 10 years after the film's original release.
There isn't much else going on with the project, aside from the fact that Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk has agreed to it and Trent Reznor has expressed interest in developing the music. Chuck Palahniuk's dark novel was previously turned into a feature film in 1999 by David Fincher, with Brad Pitt and Edward Norton in the lead roles. Palahniuk, who will see a film adaptation of his bestseller Choke hit cinemas on November 21, admitted that Fincher is still eager to push the musical into production.
Palahniuk said: "Once a year, for the last two years, [he] has called me and said, 'Are we still doing this?' And every time I think that it's dead, someone tells me that Fincher is still working on it. I thought it was dead this winter until I was talking to a reporter who had just interviewed Fincher and said that he was still talking about it. So, all I know is that Fincher is still talking about it.
