“So, I’ve been dealing with this kind of revision for like 25 years.”

“A lot of my overseas publishers have edited the novel so the novel ends the way the movie ends,” added Palahniuk. But it’s only an issue once China changes the end of a movie? I’ve been putting up with book banning for a long time.”Īdditionally, having his ending changed is nothing new. A lot of public schools and most private schools refuse to carry my books. “The Texas prison system refuses to carry my books in their libraries.

“What I find really interesting is that my books are heavily banned throughout the U.S.,” said Palahniuk.

Palahniuk finds the outcry from some American fans to be more than a little ironic: The narrator attempts to shoot himself, but wakes up in a mental hospital – he believes he's in heaven, but is approached by two hospital employees who are part of Project Mayhem, and are expecting Tyler's return. The novel ends with Tyler vanishing from the narrator's head, and the bombs malfunctioning and failing to go off. Palahniuk's original ending is amusingly similar, albeit without the involvement of the authorities. “He was tried and sentenced to a mental asylum. “Tyler and the gang were all arrested,” the author said in a substack newsletter about the change. He was discharged from the hospital in 2012.” “After the trial, Tyler was sent to lunatic asylum receiving psychological treatment. The new movie ending can be found on the Chinese streaming platform Tencent Video, which replaces some of the final scenes with a text-only screen reading: “The police rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested all criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding,” it reads. He is then seen watching bomb explosions that collapse several skyscrapers as The Pixies classic 'Where is My Mind' plays, signaling the toppling of the global economy as the headquarters of international banks are turned to rubble. Have You Seen This Sh*t? This is SUPER wonderful! Everyone gets a happy ending in China! /20UzTi1nyI- Chuck Palahniuk January 25, 2022ĭavid Fincher’s original film ending shows Edward Norton’s narrator killing off his dangerous alter-ego, Tyler Durden (played by Brad Pitt), with a well-placed gunshot to his own head. “So, in a way, the Chinese brought the movie back to the book a little bit.” “The irony is that the way the Chinese have changed it is they’ve aligned the ending almost exactly with the ending of the book, as opposed to Fincher’s ending, which was the more spectacular visual ending,” he said. He lives in the Pacific Northwest.During an interview with TMZ, the 59-year-old author of the original novel said that, unlike many movie fans, he isn’t mad about the new Fight Club ending. He is also the author of Fugitives and Refugees, a nonfiction profile of Portland, Oregon, published as part of the Crown Journeys series, and the nonfiction collection Stranger Than Fiction.
