Gay author Chuck Palahniuk’s books are cult sensations for a literary audience disaffected with most contemporary literature, and the film adaptation of his novel Fight Club earned him an even wider groupie base. So why is it taking so long for his other novels to come to the screen? Currently, three are taking their sweet time making it to celluloid.
Choke, the story of a sex addict and professional fake-choking victim, has been optioned by Bandeira Entertainment ( Requiem for a Dream ) . Survivor, about a plane hijacker, is being circled by the makers of the Keanu Reeves-starrer Constantine—but post-9/11, it may be circled for a long time. And Invisible Monsters, about a disfigured former model and her transgendered friend, is also in development, with Jessica Biel’s name getting tossed around to star. For his part, Palahniuk has been quoted as saying Choke’s production odds are the best right now. Romeo’s not picky—he’s impatient for all of them.
Oh lord. This can be very very good or horrendous.
