Invisible Monsters Movie: Fan Concept Art

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.

Props to Xander Davis for the design.  You can check out more of his work at: www.xanderdavis.com.

there's no way any theater would put that up as a teaser poster in their windows.

Yeah, theaters would never put that up... and that's exactly why Chuck Palahniuk rocks.

I used this to replace the album art for the audiobook in my iTunes library.  Now this "beauty" pops up on my iPhone while listening.

Yeah, I can imagine women lining up to have posters of half their face out all over the country.

Amazing work though. I'm definetly out of my comfort zone.

INCREDIBLE!! 

I, too, have often wondered what that would look like, and BAM !   there it is. 

It's definitely an amazing, unsettling picture... but I'm glad I saw it after I read the book.

There's something to be said for pure description using human language.  That way your imagination can do some crazy shit. 

Great job !

That is stunningly beautiful.  But it is too much of a reveal.  Even though the fact that her jaw is missing isn't in any way part of thw twist, the visual impact of that image is not something you would give away before the beginning of the film.  that reveal would need to be paced out better, somewhere around 1/3 in when you are exposition heavy and need to keep things dynamic.

Hey, imdb has Invisible Monsters as "In Production" and has a release date of September 10th, 2010. It should be in "Pre-Production" because there's no cast listed.

Well, instead of this for a poster thing, you could just use the cover of the book.

Close to the project.

Filmmaker in Hollywood,

entrepeneur to the online world,

Interested in putting together "Invisible Monsters" as a digital project.

We need a couple million and possibly considering launch as a web project ?

On the lookout for:  Interested stars (such as Ms. Biel),

and partial funding.

Possible Director and Producer attached and motivated.

Any collaborators interested ??

I think some theaters might display it. They displayed the saw posters with severed heads and such. Even if they don't I just want to see the movie.

A year or two ago, sitting in a black jack table, a dude missing half his face was playing (I thought he was a cooler), it felt as if I was in a David Lynch film.

Acrotomophilia isn't American mainstream yet. I imagine there are fewer numbers waiting to see a post-op manibular disarticulation patient, unless maybe they have been fortunate enough to have had a throat job by one of these fine eager souls.

Is "throat job" some sort of sex thing?

I like it... and, come on, it is slightly tuned down from what we all saw in The Grudge. Maybe they shouldn't put this next to the poster of Madagascar 3, though.

When I read the book I had no idea how to picture a person without a jaw. Thanks to this poster, I can

This is about 10 times better than what I pictured Shannon would look like in my head while reading the book. I just want to know why the hell the movie isn't in production yet

When I was picturing her with no face I didn't exactly picture her with no jaw at all. There is a lot of detail in that picture; I think I am going to throw up.
