Monday, 15 June 2026 - 54 minutes
Outside of the very well known rules, there's a whole load of other stuff about 1999's Fight Club.
There's the director who turned the book down, freely admitting they didn't get it. There's the moment when the budget was suddenly going to soar. There's the bit where the studio boss knew he was going to hit trouble for greenlighting the film (and boy, did he). And then there was a studio left with a film it didn't know how to market.
