Le créateur de Fight Club : « Disney ne sait pas du tout quoi faire d'un truc aussi sombre »
Lors du récent festival Celsius 232 dans les Asturies, Chuck Palahniuk, l'auteur original de "Fight Club", a partagé ses réflexions sur l'héritage de son œuvre emblématique, qui fête ses 30 ans. Confronté à la complexité des droits d'auteur et à la nature sombre de son travail, Palahniuk a notamment évoqué la difficulté d'une nouvelle adaptation cinématographique par Disney, qui a acquis 20th Century Fox.
"L'héritage de Fight Club est très compliqué", a rappelé Palahniuk, soulignant que le film a été financé par New Regency Productions, dont les fonds provenaient en partie de ventes d'armes illégales. "Et Disney ne sait pas du tout quoi faire d'un truc aussi sombre que Fight Club."
Malgré ces obstacles, une adaptation théâtrale de "Fight Club" est envisagée pour le West End à Londres, à condition que Disney et New Regency donnent leur accord. Palahniuk a également mentionné la popularité persistante de l'œuvre, illustrée par la récente vague de mèmes sur Edward Norton lors de la Coupe du Monde. "J'arrive pas à croire que 25 ans plus tard, ça fasse toujours autant de bruit. C'est incroyable !", s'est-il réjoui.
Une nouvelle réjouissante pour les fans : David Fincher, le réalisateur du film, travaille sur un livre intitulé "The First Rule Is...", qui devrait sortir cet automne. Ce livre, d'environ 800 pages, contiendra des entretiens avec les participants au film et de nombreuses photos des coulisses. Palahniuk le décrit comme un ouvrage imposant, destiné à trôner sur les tables basses.

The Creator of Fight Club: "Disney Has No Idea What to Do With Something This Dark"
At the recent Celsius 232 festival in Asturias, Chuck Palahniuk, the original author of "Fight Club," shared his thoughts on the legacy of his iconic work, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Faced with the complexity of copyright and the dark nature of his work, Palahniuk particularly discussed the difficulty of a new film adaptation by Disney, which acquired 20th Century Fox.
"The legacy of Fight Club is very complicated," Palahniuk recalled, highlighting that the film was financed by New Regency Productions, whose funds partly came from illegal arms sales. "And Disney has no idea what to do with something as dark as Fight Club."
Despite these obstacles, a theatrical adaptation of "Fight Club" is being considered for London's West End, provided that Disney and New Regency give their approval. Palahniuk also mentioned the enduring popularity of the work, illustrated by the recent wave of Edward Norton memes during the World Cup. "I can't believe that 25 years later, it's still making so much noise. It's incredible!" he exclaimed.
Exciting news for fans: David Fincher, the film's director, is working on a book titled "The First Rule Is...," which is expected to be released this fall. This approximately 800-page book will feature interviews with those involved in the film's production and numerous behind-the-scenes photos. Palahniuk describes it as a substantial volume, intended for coffee tables.
