"Fight Club" novelist Chuck Palahniuk has launched a campaign to make a low-budget movie based on his 2002 novel "Lullaby."
The 30-day Kickstarter campaign was launched on Tuesday and aims to raise USD 250,000 to fund production, reported Variety.
"This project is also important to Chuck. He began writing 'Lullaby' during the trial of his father's murderer in 1999. The prosecutor came to Chuck and asked him if he wanted to advocate for the death penalty.
"This idea spawned the culling song, or the power of the word to cast a spell, and the story of 'Lullaby' was created," the campaign page said.
"Lullaby" revolves around an aging reporter whose family mysteriously died years earlier. Palahniuk wrote the novel during the trial of a man who was convicted of murdering his father.
Palahniuk will co-write the screenplay with director Andy Mingo. Josh Leake is producing and Palahniuk will executive produce.
