I just rewatched Fight Club today: it made me feel uneasy in the best way. Rather than just hypothetical, the downward spiral of toxic masculinity and radicalization that the film presented so satirically has become a real world phenomenon. This is a dark, prescient movie that isn’t as “fun” as it seemed in the late nineties, but that’s a selling point.
Is the musical still in development? I know Trent Reznor was writing it for Julie Taymor shortly before his ascent to Hollywood scoring royalty.
