Chuck Palahniuk's (Fight Club, Choke) next novel, Snuff is set for release in 2008, but that hasn't stopped the author from talking feature film. He reveals to MTV that he'd like to see Kathleen Turner cast in the movie, which is "about the shooting one of the worlds largest [pornographic] movies. It’s basically about three men waiting in the green room among 600 men. Over the course of the first act you learn that this actress plans to die during the production and that most likely one of these three men was a child she conceived and put up for adoption. He’s been trying to contact her for years. She’s never acknowledged him and he’s so desperate he’s shown up for this casting call to try to rescue her before she dies.”

That sounds more than a bit ridiculous. So let me get this straight - the men are waiting for their turns, among 600 male stars, to appear in an acknowledged snuff film AND one of them is actually the son of the female star desperately trying to get in contact with his mother? If this adaptation is made, it should be a nice rebuttal to those so upset about Hollywood doing remakes. Some original ideas are far more idiotic than any rehash could ever be.

if u ever read any of Chuck Palahniuk's work, you wouldnt be confused.

Actually, I'm not confused. I just think it's a ludicrous premise, even by Palahniuk's standards. And I have read a couple of his books.

More ludicrous than a guy who chokes on food as a profession and thinks he is the direct descendant of christ? Or a book about someone who kills people with a poem. Not sure I agree...
