I’m still not convinced that the supposed “Fight Club” musical, which I’ve been writing about since February, isn’t just an elaborate practical joke from director David Fincher and novelist Chuck Palahniuk, although the author himself seemed sincere and insistent when MTV News last caught up with him in August.
What would it be like? How would the songs sound? What from the movie would make it in? Even though we’re no closer to knowing the answers to those questions, we now know what won't make it in – the stars themselves.
“I doubt it will be me and Brad [Pitt],” “Fight Club” star Ed Norton laughed when asked about the possibility of starring in a Broadway revival of perhaps his most iconic role. “I know Brad can’t sing!”
We knew Pitt and Norton weren’t going to start taking dance lessons, but most interestingly, the once and possibly future Dr. Banner didn’t immediately dismiss the idea of the musical itself – as “Fight Club” co-star Jared Leto did when asked last April.
Could that mean it’s – gasp! – actually REAL?
“It has been floating around for a while,” Norton said. “I’ve seen different notions of it.”
Norton even went so far as to throw his support behind Trent Reznor, who has been long-rumored to be writing the music.
“Reznor would be about right for it,” he said.
What’s your take? Real or not? Sound off on all your thoughts about “Fight Club: The Musical” below.
