Slightly old (from late last week), but we wanted to have it mentioned somewhere. David Fincher is making a film and it’s not about a serial killer or the tedious paperwork and time-sheets involved in catching one or invoicing for hours spent chasing one. The fastidious director’s next project will be not be a “Fight Club,” musical, but an adaptation of the transgressive Charles Burns graphic novel, “Black Hole.”
The depraved tale chronicles 1970’s teens who contract a sexually transmitted disease that produces horrifying physical mutations. Screenwriters Roger Avary (“Pulp Fiction”) and Neil Gaiman apaprently penned a previous draft, but it is unknown whether Fincher will be start fresh or use their work. [JoBlo]
