Bereits im Juli sprach Autor Chuck Palahniuk ("Fight Club") darüber, dass er aktuell an einer möglichen Fortsetzung zu seinem Klassiker arbeitet, welcher in Form einer Grafik Novel erscheinen soll, welche rund zehn Jahr nach den Ereignissen des ersten Teils ansetzt. In einem Interview verriet er nun weitere Details.
"So much of 'Fight Club' was a rant against fathers," So Palahniuk "At the time every man I knew was complaining about how little he'd learned from his father. Even my own father felt bitter and let down by his father. Rather than continue in that vein, I wanted to revisit the protagonist once he himself had become a father."
"The sequel will be told from the perspective of Tyler Durden as he observes the day-to-day tedium of the narrator's life. Because 20th Century Fox created the convention of calling the protagonist Jack, I'm calling him Cornelius. He's living a compromised life with a failing marriage, unsure about his passion for his wife. The typical midlife bullsh*t. Likewise, Marla is unsatisfied and dreams of accessing the wild man she'd once fallen in love with. She tampers with the small pharmacy of drugs that her husband needs to suppress Tyler, and Tyler reemerges to terrorize their lives."
