Fight Club rock opera in the works?

If the first rule of Fight Club is that you don't talk about Fight Club, then the second rule should be that you don't talk about Fight Club: The Rock Opera – a rule that has apparently been broken by Chuck Palahniuk, author of the 1996 novel upon which the 1999 neo-noir film starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton is based.

Talking at the San Diego Comic-Con during a panel discussion for the Fight Club 2 comic, Palahniuk reportedly teased that the Olivier and Tony Award-winner Julie Taymor (The Lion King, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark) is heading up a team to adapt the film for the stage.

To add fuel to the rumours, Palahniuk tweeted: "Julie Taymor working with David Fincher on a FIGHT CLUB rock opera? You didn't hear it from me. 🙂 #SDCC"
