Small anniversary of "Fight Club."

Screenplay.
The idea of ​​creating a book Chuck Palahniuk came after he was beaten during a camping trip. Referring to the neighborhood asking people nearby turn down the volume of the radio, Chuck received several blows to his impressive face. Woman, beaten in school brother Chuck Palahniuk - Sean, named Marla. The name "Tyler" Chuck borrowed from an old cartoon «Toby Tyler, or Ten Weeks with a Circus», and the name "Durden" - with his colleague, who was involved in some of the stories of sexual harassment at work.
Although the novel "Fight Club" enrolled in religious works, the prospect of his first film adaptation seemed unreal.
Directed by David Fincher, seeing the scenario of fight club, I grabbed him by all limbs. "In the book there are a lot of thoughts that often came into my head," - he said on the eve of the premiere of Fincher. - "But I never dared to express them out loud. Today men live in an emotional desert. Or rather, they do not know how to express their feelings - whether they have the right to cry, scream, fight? I dreamed that I might at least hint! »
Casting.
Brad Pitt, who have long been trying to get rid of the role blond seducer, first agreed to take part in the film, or Tyler Durden would be Sean Penn.



On the role of choking from the pointlessness of its existence, the narrator was invited to the youngest of Hollywood actors heavyweights - Edward Norton, starring only five films, but has already received two Oscar nominations.
For the filming of the movie Edward Norton had to lose weight by 9-10 kg. Prior to that, he had to gain weight rapidly for the role of a Nazi in "American History X". Reduce muscle Edu helped run, vitamins, as well as refusal to eat on set.



On the role of Marla Singer in addition to Helena Bonham Carter also claimed Courtney Love and Winona Ryder, but, on reflection, decided to subversive Fincher course and all of a sudden took Helena Bonham Carter, became famous starring muslin ladies of the last century. Helena Bonham Carter had to wear shoes on a large platform to cover a significant difference in height between it and its main partners.

Pitt admitted that he once strongly scratched the face of Norton, but Norton says dislocated finger on his solar plexus Pitt.
Before shooting the two actors trained under the supervision of professional stuntmen, but not to look pumped up and get ready for a real shock.



For the scene of accident Fincher mount the camera on the hood of the car and the car - on the transparent rotating pipe, which was installed for the screen, showing the background of the scene. And inside, he did not put stuntmen and the actors themselves, who had to fully enjoy the feeling of falling in the rotation.

In the scene where Marla crossing the road, the car moved so close to her that touched the buttons of her jacket.



In the scene in which Brad Pitt and Edward Norton are beginning to get drunk and chase golf balls, the actors were really drunk. Therefore, to the balls got to where it was intended to have been used special tools.
During the filming of uptown man exasperated noise, I tossed out the window in the apartment crew bottle of beer. The bottle hit the operator Jeff Cronenweth, and although not cause more harm dissatisfied hooligan was arrested.

For the scene of the beating narrator character Jared Leto, Jared was made horribly scary mask literally broken apart and turned inside the nose. This mask Jared had to wear all day, and crew together with the actors of his time trying to avoid.

In the final scene, when the narrator shoots and kills himself Tyler, Tyler says, "What's that smell?» (What's that smell?).
Himself Chuck Palahniuk says that a reference to the American poet Ira Gershuin. He had a brain tumor, and being near death, Ira kept saying that he feels the smell of charred chicken feathers until his death asked the same question: "What's that smell?»

Immediately go to the street. Find a person of the opposite sex. Stop doing stupid buying and tie with masturbation. Dismiss from work. Start a fight. Prove that you are alive. If you do not begin to act, and will live a worthless life. You have been warned ...... Tyler ».



Bonham Carter, filming a love scene with Pitt, hoped to relax and have fun, but ... Fincher told to strip actors, assistants covered their bodies with white dots - reading labels for your computer.
And then the actors have taken the whole day still pose from the "Kama Sutra" and until you're blue sitting and lying naked in maloudobnyh poses while the computer read the tags.
