Famed writer Chuck Palahniuk recently announced on his blog that the rights have been optioned to a movie adaptation of his novel Rant. Previous big screen adaptations of Palahniuk's work include 1999's Fight Club and 2008's Choke, which releases at the end of next month. Rant follows the life of Buster Landru "Rant" Casey in a dystopian future in which urban dwellers are divided into the privileged day-timers and maligned night-timers. The night-timers participate in the practice of Party Crashing, a form of demolition derby, and apparently there's a rabies epidemic thrown into the mix as well.
Choke stars Sam Rockwell as a colonial times reenacting sex addict.
