Three Movies from Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk.net is reporting that three movies will be getting the greenlight this year: Invisible Monsters, Choke and Diary:

"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."

Mr Palahniuk will also be releasing a collection of essays, Stranger Than Fiction, in mid-June.

Thanks Christopher,

I enjoyed that one. Anything on Dave Eggers?

Don't get me wrong, I love Chuck P. but I have a nasty feeling bad things will happen without quality directing like that of David Fincher. Could someone point me to some works done by these other directors?

Internet Movie Database found nothing on the directior Jesse Peyronel, and google has found that he made a short movie, Swimming Out to Holly. Invisible Monsters would be his first full length film.

No directors slated for the others, yet.
