So today I kind of sat down for a chat with a writer named Chuck Palahniuk. He was doing press for his upcoming movie CHOKE (which features a hottie giving Sam Rockwell the ol' reverse ride), and of course, being the intrepid scoop hound that I am, asked him about upcoming adaptations of his work. There was the recent story that his book RANT was optioned, but this is what I heard straight from the horse's mouth. LULLABY and SURVIVOR are the next to Palahniuk films going into production. Francis Lawrence (I AM LEGEND) is doing survivor--which was previously reported on Chuck's site, and in more "breaking" news, a Swedish director is doing LULLABY. He told me his name, but pronounced in with the proper Swedish inflections, so I know what it sounds like but not how it reads. Ulfer Jansen is the best way I can translate it, and Chuck said he's done a lot of commercials and music videos, but this is his first feature. Oh, and he described him has "the Swedish David Fincher." So there you go, first one to find his identity wins!!!
Extra Tidbit:
Do you guys like Lawrence for SURVIVOR?

Survivor is Palahniuks best book, Lawrence better not turn it into a commercial Will Smith flick slash, cgi fest!

LAWRENCE
I think Lawrence could do a great job on Survivor. I was a big fan of I am Legend |

YEAH!
I'm dying for Survivor to finally go through. I recall years back that Jim Carrey was looked at for the role of Tender Branson. I say that's an insanely perfect choice. |

"Fight Club" with a chick? What the...?
And Ben Barna, I hate you for interviewing the man himself. |

Lawrence is a capable director. As long as the screenplay is closer to the source material than his previous work than he should be fine |

I'm just glad more attention is being shed on Palahniuk's works, which CAN translate very well into film. Here's hoping for HAUNTED next! |

Constantine and I Am Legend were damn good movies....I'm convinced he could do a rock opera with the Jonahs Brothers and the care bears and still make it golden! |
