Okay, that's awesome.

Let's hope they'll stay true to the book.

I'm really not looking forward to seeing this. I love the book too much. It's going to massively suck and I'm worried it is going to ruin the book for me.

Supposedly this is coming out Friday, I can't wait!

Also, I just read on IGN that 5 additional Palahniuk books are optioned for movies (I hope this is good news and they'll be great)

They are Survivor, Rant, Lullaby, Haunted, and Diary

i can't see haunted being turned into a good movie. they would have to cut out soooo much just to get a R rating. if they stay true to the book that is.

if they can turn Fight Club into a movie they can do Haunted. Except for the whole thing about anal vacuum sex with a pool. As for Choke, I watched all the episodes of Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia online, and they had a trailer for it like every 7 minutes. Maybe its just the scenes they chose to put in the trailer, but it doesnt look to good imo.

did  you read the book? i think people are expecting it to be another ultra cool stylish mind fuck like fight club. its a totally different kind of book but a different director.

but any way i just got back from seeing it. and i liked it alot. they changed some things and left some things out. but thats to be expected, and none of it was crucial to the plot. but yeah it was well acted and true (for the most part) to the book. a little slow at times but all in all i would recommend seeing it. especially if you read the book.

just don't go into expecting fight club part 2 and you should enjoy it.
