Survivor

Francis Lawrence, the man who directed Constantine and the upcoming I Am Legend, appears to have his sights set on adapting Chuck Palahniuk's book Survivor next. From an interview with Collider (via Cinematical):

"... there’s a couple of things I’m working on. I’m working on a book “Survivor” by Chuck Palahniuk that I’m working on with a friend. It’s a great book. I love that book. So we’ve been working on that."

Just because he's working on it, however, doesn't mean this will happen... it's a book that deals with a self-proclaimed messianic figure hijacking and crashing a plane into a building, after all. Not sure when the world (aka a studio to finance it) will be ready for that storyline...

What this does bring to mind, however, is that Palahniuk's book Choke has already been made into a movie but... where is it? I need to see what it's deal is. Hold the phone!

...

Well, really, doesn't seem to be much word on the flick - it stars the lovely Kelly Macdonald, Sam Rockwell, and Anjelica Huston - except that it'll be playing at Sundance next month. I suppose we'll hear more round then. Stay tuned!
