i think the end of the movie should end like the books page 1 ending, cut to credits, after the credits roll the "hidden" ending of the book/movie. it keeps it faithful to the format of the book...

So I decided this would be worth my first post on here. I just finished Survivor, loved it, and would be extremely excited to see it turned into a film and maybe be as well done as Fight Club was. The online petition won't do anything, but I'm #11,375 anyway.

Got Hasselhoff to number one.

Not to mention most of the fan-complaints fox got for cutting family guy were e-mails. Though that wasn't a petition.

If we're just bearly able to tip them over the edge and get them to finance the movie, you know the whole thing would be on their terms only. If we wait until there's a huge demand for this, only then could we get the movie we really want...or at least the attempt at it, no guarantee the film would be good anyways.

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.

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. Unsure

[QUOTE=4th Step;372804]im really excited to be able to watch the scene of Fertility and Tender dancing in the department store, while its burning around them. It reminds me so much of Jack and Marla, at the end of Fight Club, except they're dancing.
I must say that one adaptation of the cemetary scene by the college crew was excellent as well.

No longer listed as a project "in development" on imdbpro.com. Anyone have any information? This may be my favorite book of all time and although it doesn't NEED to be a movie i think the story would lend itself very well to the big screen. What company has the rights to make the movie?

This isn't about the book. It's about the movie.

Well that's not a fair judgment. Everything in the future blows.

When/If they make this into a movie, the only person who should even be thought of for Tender Branson is Kevin Spacey!
