What's Chuck Palahniuk Up To?

By Garth Franklin Wednesday February 4th 2004 09:25PM

A new posting over at "Fight Club" author Chuck Palahniuk's official site by the webmaster reveals what the man himself is up to this year after just talking with him in Portland:

"Chuck calls 2004 his "movie year." He told me he's got three movies of his getting the greenlight in '04.

Invisible Monsters Yes, it seems young writer/director Jesse Peyronel finally got the funding he needed from Miramax. So they can finally go into production and begin casting and crewing. So expect to hear a lot of news pouring in soon on this one.

Choke Chuck always said that if he were positive which novel of his would see the big screen next (after Fight Club), it would be Choke. So I don't know which movie will see the greenlight first, but Chuck says Bandeira Entertainment (the company that put out Requiem For A Dream) finally has a finished script from writer Clark Gregg (What Lies Beneath) that they're ready to move on.

Diary Yep, it seems Diary beat Lullaby to the finish line and will soon go into production. Like the rest, no cast or crew is attached. We don't even know who's writing this one. But I do know that the company that owns the rights to it currently is the same company that put out American Beauty".
