With “Fight Club”, David Fincher released his most relevant pop culture film in the late 1990s. The story about an anarchist underground fight club, which becomes a philosophy of life for the protagonists, still inspires today. The new edit is thematically original and has one of the most explosive resolutions in movie history. The movie also features Edward Norton in a good mood and Brad Pitt, who gave one of his best performances as Tyler Durden.
Besides Norton and Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter did a great job – as always! Carter slipped into the role of Marla Singer. She was not the first choice. At least not according to Courtney Love, who recently revealed she was originally going to play Marla Singer.
Besides being an actress and Grammy-nominated musician, Love is also Kurt Cobain’s widow. She helps manage the musical legacy of his band, Nirvana. It is a great honor, but it also brings inconveniences. That’s how Love explains it that there was a conflict with Brad Pitt because of her position.
Did Brad Pitt Want Revenge?
Pitt approached Love and suggested she step into the role of her late husband. Brad Pitt as Kurt Cobain? Love was shocked and declined the offer. Apparently she didn’t trust him. “If you don’t understand me, you don’t understand Kurt, and I don’t feel you do, Brad,” she said.
In the podcast, she is annoyed that she didn’t have a good face at the bad game at first. Love claims she was already set to play Marla Singer in Fincher’s Fight Club. After turning Pitt down, Pitt allegedly worked to get her fired again. Her partner at the time, Edward Norton, would have told her the sad news at the time.
While Pitt himself did not comment on the allegations, the magazine did receive A source close to the film said: “Almost 25 years ago, Courtney Love auditioned for a part in Fight Club. A role she was never offered. You can’t get fired if you don’t get the job. And we all know that. that directors decide who gets a part, not other artists!”
If Brad Pitt Revenge wanted, or it was a matter of misunderstanding, we cannot clarify with absolute certainty. It is an exciting story! And hurt feelings must have been involved as well. Love claimed that she has never seen the movie to this day.
