1999 saw the release of “Fight Club,” a movie that struggled at the box office initially but has since grown into one of cinema’s most renowned cult classics. Based on Chuck Palahniuk’s 1996 novel, the film features Edward Norton as a sleep-deprived white-collar worker and Brad Pitt as an enigmatic rebel. As their paths cross, they establish an underground fighting ring that eventually transforms into a clandestine terrorist group. Initially receiving mixed reviews, “Fight Club” has been lauded by critics as a daring examination of identity, male disenchantment, and the loneliness woven into consumer culture – a theme still striking a chord with viewers.

It wasn’t until “Fight Club” was released on DVD that it started gaining recognition as one of cinema’s most influential films, and now, 25 years later, it’s hard to believe this movie was once considered a flop. The impact of “Fight Club” is remarkably diverse: it resonates with far-right groups, serves as an anti-consumerism rallying cry, and critiques traditional masculinity in a satirical manner.

Currently, Fincher is handling the restoration of “Fight Club” while simultaneously juggling multiple projects for Netflix. Among these projects is a U.S. adaptation of the popular South Korean show, “Squid Game”, with Matilda the Musical’s Dennis Kelly penning the script. Additionally, he’s working on creating a prequel series to the classic film, “Chinatown”, originally starring Jack Nicholson.
