2. DIRECTOR
• Fight club is one of
Fincher’s greatest shots.
• In many reviews it’s also
considered as ‘throwing
punches at modern life’.
• Fincher outlined the
narrator's background:
"He's tried to do
everything he was taught
to do, tried to fit into the
world by becoming the
thing he isn't."
3. • Edward Norton
• Brad Pitt
• Helena Bonham Carter
• Meat Loaf
• Jared Leto
STARS
4. • Fincher considered Edward
Norton, based on the actor's
performance in The People
vs. Larry Flynt.
• Edward Norton said, "I feel
that Fight Club really, in a
way ... probed into the
despair and paralysis that
people feel in the face of
having inherited this value
system out of advertising."
Edward Norton
5. Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt said, "Fight
Club is a metaphor for the
need to push through the
walls we put around
ourselves and just go for
it, so for the first time we
can experience the pain."
It’s said that Russell Crowe had
been considered as Brad Pitt’s
role.
Pitt was offered a $17.5 million
salary.
6. • Fincher chose to cast
Helena Bonham Carter
based on her performance
in the 1997 film The Wings
of the Dove.
• Bonham asked her make-up
artist to do her make-up
with her left hand, as
Marla’s character didn’t
seem to care.
