Invisible Monsters Movie: Fan Concept Art

Posted July 8th, 2008 by Dennis

Fan Concept Art for an 'Invisible Monsters' movie. Designed by Xander Davis.

Let me re-iterate our news headline here: Fan concept art.  Albeit, a very talented graphic designer of a fan named Xander Davis.  But nonetheless, this is unofficial concept art.  Still, it gets the juices flowing, eh?

With 'Choke' finished and hitting theaters on September 26th, the rumor mill is sure to start spinning again.  This could mean a jumpstart to some stalled Palahniuk projects, such as Invisible Monsters.

So let us imagine for a second, what a teaser poster for this insane story Chuck created, would look like.

And yes, that's Jessica Biel on that poster.

Phone Interview With Director Jesse Peyronel

March, 13th, 2002

Who is Jesse Peyronel? Why, the man who is going to make Invisible Monsters a movie, stupid. Why am I so sure of this now? Well, Jesse and I finally shared a phone conversation two Sunday's ago. (the same day I spoke to Chuck). I immediately found Jesse to be very intelligent, very kind, very excited, and very British.

He's lived in New York now since the mid-90s. He graduated from the Tisch School at NYU. I learned about his past success at festivals with his short film Swimming Out to Holly. I also learned that Jesse has become quite a connected man in his brief time in the industry. Not only did it ring through in his confidence... but Jesse didn't seem too concerned with impressing me with some resume of skills and achievements. One thing you learn very quickly in the film industry, is that everyone has an ego. Everyone is the best at what they do. Yet the people you usually want to end up working with come to you as a referral. Their skills speak for themselves... and they usually don't even have a resume.

Invisible Monsters - The Movie

Jessica BielChuck’s third novel, and a favorite among many of his diehard fans, is Invisible Monsters, the story of Shannon, a disfigured ex-fashion model traveling in a car with Brand Alexander, a transgendered exhibitionist one surgery away from becoming a “real” woman. Despite this unorthodox storyline, Invisible Monsters very quickly entered some sort of production phase in 2001 when it was optioned by young filmmaker Jesse Peyronel. Turning over a scripted draft that both Chuck and his agent, Edward Hibbert, were very pleased with, Jesse very quickly got to work trying to find funding for the film via Miramax Films. Parker Posey was tentatively on board to play Shannon, and things were moving. Then the inevitable drop in news happened.

Invisible Monsters Movie Announced?

Posted August 5th, 2007 by Dennis

Invisible Monsters by Chuck PalahniukThis may be nothing, but Invisible Monsters popped up on the IMDB last week here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0756666/. This project has long been in development with newcomer Jesse Peyronel behind the helm as writer and director. Jesse had a lot of success with a short film before impressing Chuck Palahniuk and his agent with his screenplay adaptation of Invisible Monsters. In fact, Chuck was so impressed that he fully endorsed Jesse's optioning of the project for one year to try and raise the money for it. It was during this year that all the rumors started. The one that stuck the most was that Jessica Biel would be starring as Shannon. Then Parker Posey's name began popping up too. And pretty soon, even Miramax Films had entered the mix. But when the year was up, and the option ran out, it seemed Monsters was no closer to a greenlight.
