Survivor movie finally gets greenlight!
Hey guys,
In our latest news update [url=http://www.chuckpalahniuk.net/community/showthread.php?t=12930]here[/url] Chuck drops the awesome news during his Chicago Book Fair reading that Survivor is back on the slate for production.
It seems the team that's behind the new Keanu Reeves movie "Constantine," an adaptation of the graphic novel series "Hellblazer" are getting Survivor into production as soon as they can.
So stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, discuss, discuss, discuss!

Survivor is chucks most visionery book. The Characters journey from being trapped inside a social bubble (the suicide cult), to escaping into the outside world (new york), only to be corrupted by greedy agents and hated by 'uninformed' people. will be another great potrayel of American society.
That's what people loved about Fight Club. And it's what they will love about this movie.
If Choke is also made into a film. Chuck could become A Legend.
I'd love to see bret ellis and Chuck write a Book together.......the 'tyler the psycho - when jack left tyler and tyler becomes patrick bateman scenario'
"Patrick Bateman: your an ugly f##king b##tch and i want to sell you soap!!!!"
Ugly Bartender: "join the club!"
Patrick bateman: "Club you say?"
hey man it would work!

I gotta say, if Chuck were to put down the pen (or whatever he uses) right now, he'd be considered a legend. And going back to earlier in the thread where somebody asked how it should end. I think it should end exactly as it did in the book, where the inidividual decides whether or not he lives, and how. I personally wasnt sure until I heard the "explanation" but then, I started thinking, "wait, the name of the book is SURVIROR"! Sure, you could go and say that it was just titled that because it centered around a group of survivors, however if that was why it was titled, then it would have been titled "Survivors" . . .multiple.
It can't rain all the time. . .
i won't hold my breath, it was "supposed" to be extremely close to production a few years ago, back when there was talk on this site about Madonna playing Fertility and when the petition against its production orignally started.
its funny how everyone starts the music a little too soon.
it's only after you have lost everything that your free to do anything

Alessandro Nivola! I've been saying that since I first read the book.
Great minds, eh?
I actually had an image of Chuck with huge sideburns and a little heavier in my head when I read the book. Isn't there a pic somewhere of him with sideburns? I know I've seen it.
"They sold you hippies grunge, hip hop, now liberty activism."
This has got to be, by far, my favorite Palahniuk book.
I really, really, realllllllly hope they do a movie.. however, on the terms alone that they really stay true to the book. 
When/If they make this into a movie, the only person who should even be thought of for Tender Branson is Kevin Spacey!
rainn wilson has to play tender/adam
JAKE GYLLANHALL AS TENDER WOULD BE SWEET!!!
and bruce campbell as the agent
"The Warmth of Blood" 30 min Short Film
Bruce Campbell, mos def.
"They sold you hippies grunge, hip hop, now liberty activism."
Great book, and if it's followed as closely as Fight Club was it'll be a great movie as well. On another note, David Fincher is an amazing director.

I hope so! I can't wait to see the Has anyone hi-jacked a plane? thread to sit pretty next to the Has anyone done the lye burn? thread.
I was going to say how about the only thing they followed closely from the book and movie were the character names. But they didn't even do that!

I hope so! I can't wait to see the Has anyone hi-jacked a plane? thread to sit pretty next to the Has anyone done the lye burn? thread.
then this place will get shut down for actually being a cult
