'Fight Club' to be a Broadway musical?

Following last month's news that "The Diary of Anne Frank" was about to be staged in Spain as a musical comes a rumor that "Fight Club" might go to Broadway. The creative team is the novelist Chuck Palahniuk and the director of the movie version.

Just to stay ahead of the curve, let me suggest a few more unlikely musicals:
  • The Silence of the Lambs
  • The 9/11 Commission's Report
  • Anything by Ann Coulter
  • The Unabomber Manifesto
  • Michel Houellebecq's novel "Platform," about cynical businessmen who open a sex resort in Thailand, only to have it blown up by Muslim terrorists.
  • The Tom Cruise Story
That last one gave you a real shudder, huh?

And Trent Reznor.

Meanwhile, I'm pretty excited for the film version of Choke starring Sam Rockwell and Anjelica Houston. Survivor is still my favorite Palahniuk book, but it sounds like I'll be waiting a while to see a movie version.
