Chuck Palahniuk Working On Multiple Sequels To 'Fight Club'
While many focus their attention on the big room at San Diego Comic-Con, news is breaking out of everywhere. One such place was a discussion with cult author Chuck Palahniuk where he revealed he's taking meetings about making multiple sequels to Fight Club, beginning ten years after the novel/movie. Where and when might you see them? Read more after the jump.
Palahniuk fansite The Cult broke the news. Turns out the Fight Club sequels will likely be a graphic novels released begining around 2015. Here's the author's quote:
About the graphic novel, it's true. 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 come-back. Jack is oblivious. Marla is bored. Their marriage has run aground on the rocky coastline of middle-aged suburban boredom. It's only when their little boy disappears, kidnapped by Tyler, that Jack is dragged back into the world of Mayhem.
It will, of course, be dark and messy. Due to contract obligations it can't come to light for a while. Next year is "Beautiful You," followed by the story collection. But since the Fight Club sequel will appear serialized in graphic form, my book publisher might allow me to launch it earlier than 2015.
Feel free to release any or all of this information. We haven't started to court a specific publisher, not until I hammer out the complete story.
