David Fincher's Fight Club catapulted Chuck Palahniuk to fame, and since then very few of his books have been published without also getting optioned as a possible film adaptation. Strangely, only one other Palahniuk book has actually made it to the big screen thus far, and Clark Gregg's middling take on Choke proved that the success of Fight Club was due to a lot more than just the source material.

Thora Birch, perhaps not coincidentally the daughter of a porn star, supports as her talent agent who must get all the 600 men organised and rounded-up.
We find out over the course of the novel that all three men have a personal and emotional reason...
