Fight Club has a sequel in the works

Chuck Palahniuk, author of several cult-classic books like Choke, Haunted, Survivor, Doomed, Rant, Lullaby, Invisible Monsters, Snuff and of course his most popular Fight Club, has announced that he is planning a Fight Club sequel in the form of a graphic novel.

From Palahniuk’s official fan site:

“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.”

Fight Club was made into an overwhelmingly popular film starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt, and directed by David Fincher in 1996. The film helped accelerate Fincher’s already rising career and spawned an infinite amount of memes and pop culture references.

No word on the publisher yet, which Palahniuk says he won’t worry about until the story is completed.
