A Fight Club Musical May Kick Its Way to the Stage

First rule of Fight Club: bring your tap shoes? Fight Club, Chuck Palahniuk's 1996 novel (which was memorably turned into a 1999 film starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton) may be adapted for the musical theater, the author told Total Film.

"[David] Fincher mentions it periodically," Palahniuk said, referencing the film's director, who was nomiated for an Oscar for helming The Social Network. "My screen agent advises me not to sell the theatrical rights, because apparently it's still supposed to happen. I think it could be fascinating. It doesn't horrify me. So I don't see why not."

Fight Club follows an unnamed narrator (played by Norton in the film) as he joins forces with an eccentric soap maker named Tyler Durden (Pitt) to form a secret underground community where men come to fight each other. The narrator also bonds with an unrestrained woman named Marla (played in the movie by Helena Bonham Carter), whom he meets when he begins attending various support groups for conditions he doesn't suffer.

Nothing official has been announced for the musical.
