a big, huge WTF for you: according to ain't it cool news, fight club might be made into a musical? and NIN is doing music? what??? is this some sort of parody web site or is this for real? anyone?
"At a reading last night on the UW campus, Chuck answered a question from the audience about the fight club musical. He said that the same folks who financed the movie are tentatively behind it, as are Fincher and Reznor (who's agreed to do the soundtrack!). but...he did note that while they've got a bunch of talk going on and the promise of Reznor, they ain't got much else.
Chuck went on to say that most of the stuff they do with his writing he doesn't care about; he says he can't really control how the studios fuck with his characters or themes, so he just accepts the checks and goes on his way. Choke, Survivor and Invisible Monsters are all in some form gonna hit theaters (Choke first...starting filming in a couple months). BUT, he did say that he'd be personally involved in just about anything if he got to work with both Reznor and Fincher on the project (he said he'd even do "Fight Club on Ice" if that's what it took). "
wouldn't that be something...something peculiar. although this snippet page had a great quote from Chuck:
"Can you imagine people in New Jersey paying $120 to drive to the city and watch a musical about anarchy?"

Kari, it's all true. In fact here is a list of other movie inspired musicals in developement or discussion stages: Tarzan(walt disney's), Catch Me If You Can, Legally Blonde, Spider-Man, Pink Floyd's the Wall, Secondhand Lions, Chitty Chitty Band Bang. Debuting later this year: Monty Pythons Spamalot, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Dracula The Musical and The Color Purple. I am not a fan of musicals(I do own two though, for the Audrey Hepburn collection)but some of these are real head shakers. I ask why? Just came across an article in Billboard about this new trend to turn movies into musicals and though you might like to see what else is up peoples sleeves.
Speaking of musicals:
