Fight Club 2 is coming in May 2015


ENTERTAINMENT



Fight Club 2 takes place alternately in the future and the past. It picks up a decade after the ending of his original book, where the protagonist is married to equally problematic Marla Singer and has a 9-year-old son named Junior, though the narrator is failing his son in the same way his dad failed him.
At the same time, Palahniuk says readers will have an idea of Tyler's true origins. "Tyler is something that maybe has been around for centuries and is not just this aberration that's popped into his mind."
Palahniuk brings back most of the characters in the first book as well as the organization Project Mayhem, which still has its hooks in the narrator as he has to save his boy when the youngster's life is in peril.

Initially thought it was a movie, but expect that will come along soon enough. Question is, does the creation of such a book/movie become the antithesis of what the story is about? Could this end up tarnishing how people feel about the original? Does consumer demand override all?

I'm Jack's unbridled giddiness. Saw the first panel and was pleased. I always found Palahniuk's prose terribly affecting, I hope David Fincher options it for film and we get a proper cinematic sequel.

I enjoyed the shit out of his short story, Zombie

Thanks for that panel link, ps. I think doing a comic book takes from some of the "cash grab" (although comics rake in a lot of $$$) argument.
