The major challenge that a filmmaker would have in adapting a Fight Club to a book would be showing how Tyler Durden and the Narrator is the same person. This is major challenge because it is so important to the storyline that you can’t just separate the two of them and make them two different people; they need to somehow mesh at the end and still make sense to the viewer.
· The first scene that a filmmaker would need to keep is when they hold the first fight club. This scene is just too iconic to the book, to keep out of the movie,
· The second scene that a filmmaker would need to keep is the scene when Tyler kisses the narrator with the lye. This is the first scene that shows how crazy and demanding Tyler actually is.
· The third scene that a filmmaker would need to keep is when the narrator figures out that he is Tyler and Tyler is him. This scene really makes the book. It is completely unexpected.
o The first thing that a filmmaker needs to cut out is the amount of emphasis that is put on the narrator traveling for work. A filmmaker would need to mention it because it contributes to how miserable the narrator is, but not spend so much time on the subject.
o The second thing that the filmmaker would need to cut out is the amount of time the narrator doesn’t know where Tyler is. In the book it seems like the narrator can’t find Tyler for a long time and I don’t think that the movie can’t be too long.
