The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. But, this news were too amazing not to share, so we will have to bend the rules a little bit to let you know that Chuck Palahniuk, the author of the renown hit, is planning on writing a sequel to it.
Unfortunately, it's very unlikely to see it on the big screen, since it's going to be written as a graphic novel with no plans of making it into a movie.
However, Palahniuk promises "it will be dark and messy." He added that the Fight Club sequel may launch as early as 2015 pending his book publisher's approval but although he has been meeting with artists and creators from heavy-hitters DC, Marvel and Dark Horse, a publisher has yet to sign on to the sequel.
So far, what we know from Fight Club part 2, is what Palahniuk said last weekend at Comic-Con, where he dropped this bombshell.
"About the graphic novel, it's true," he admitted. "Chelsea Cain has been introducing me to artists and creators from Marvel, DC and Dark Horse, and they're walking me through the process."
It will likely be a series of books that update the story ten years after the seeming end of Tyler Durden. Nowadays, Tyler is telling the story, lurking inside Jack, and ready to launch a comeback," he said of the character that Brad Pitt brought to life in the 1999 movie adaptation.
"Jack is oblivious. Marla is bored. Their marriage has run aground on the rocky coastline of middle-aged suburban boredom," Palahniuk added of Edward Norton and Helena Bonham-Carter's characters.
Wait a second, Jack and Marla got married? And not only, that. The story gets even better when Jack is forced to go back to his old antics because of this new major character.
"It's only when their little boy disappears, kidnapped by Tyler, that Jack is dragged back into the world of Mayhem," concluded the author.
Yes, Chuck Palahniuk never disappoints and even gave the odd couple a kid. This is going to be one graphic novel for history, although we can't help but to wonder how a movie will look like. Maybe if someone starts a Facebook group calling all fans to sign a petition to take the story to the big screen. But keep the group private, you know, Fight Club rules.
