Fight Club was never a movie you wanted to grow old with. Not that it hasn’t aged well since it came out in 1999—David Fincher’s audacious filmmaking techniques are still as striking as ever, and the impact of its final-act twist can still be felt in psychological thrillers today. But through its depiction of a particular variety of adolescent-male wish fulfillment, Fight Club’s ostensible critique doubles as a revel.
It’s screening this Saturday at the Hollywood Theater to commemorate the release of a hardcover collection of Fight Club 2, a comic book sequel originally published in 10 issues by Dark Horse Comics. Written by Chuck Palahniuk—who, of course, wrote the 1996 novel Fincher’s film is based on—and illustrated by Cameron Stewart, it continues the adventures of Tyler Durden, Marla Singer, and Fight Club’s nameless narrator (here, he’s called Sebastian).
