New Chuck Palahniuk Film Adaptation

Chuck Palahniuk LullabyChuck Palahniuk and two independent film makers (Josh Leake and Andy Mingo) are working to adapt his award-winning novel, Lullaby, into a movie. They are independently raising funds for this production. If their goal is not met by Thursday, June 16th at 11:54 pm MST, the film will not be funded.

Donations to this project will not only fund the movie, but the donors will get the chance to be extras in the movie. Special attention is being given to the film in an effort to keep it true to Palahniuk’s vision. By donating money you (and other Palahniuk enthusiast) will help shape the movie by voicing opinions throughout the movie’s production. There is not much time left to donate.

Being Flynn

Each week we feature one of out many talented interns here at Superstition Review. This week’s piece comes from Fiction Editor Stephanie De La Rosa.

Nick Flynn is an American author known for his poetry and plays. His memoir Another Bullshit Night in Suck City won a PEN award in 2004. Superstition Review had the honor of interviewing Flynn in Spring 2009, in Issue 5. Flynn shared a few of his thoughts on the writing style he used in Another Bullshit Night, and mentioned, “I wrote my way toward a sense of compassion for my father, which was perhaps the only way I could go, since I began with very little.”

Superstition Review is glad to share with our readers that Flynn’s memoir Another Bullshit Night in Suck City, is soon to be released as a major motion film directed by Paul Weitz, and starring Robert de Niro and Paul Dano. The synopsis for the movie begins, “Can one life story have two authors?”  We hope to see the answer to this question upon the film’s release, March 2, 2012.
