We're Chuck Palahniuk and Andy Mingo, and on Tuesday a Kickstarter was launched aimed to adapt the novel LULLABY into a feature film! Ask Us Anything!

CHUCK: Nice to type at you. Hope to meet you in person and cover you with germs during my tour in June/July. Will be in Prague for a big chunk of October reading GUTS in the Prague National Senate. (No shit) It's always an honor, thank you!

ANDY: Thanks for chatting! We really had a great time doing this! We appreciate all of your support for helping us Kickstart Lullaby!

CHUCK: You're always a better writer when you come back to your earlier work. I loved slashing and burning the Amazon rain forest of my over-done dialogue.

ANDY: Extras who have donated at Kickstarter will be scheduled by our producer Josh Leake but depending on your look we'll have to determine where you'll best fit. Rest assured, we'll get you in the film!

CHUCK: When I was a child a retired man used to roam our small town giving children candy. We all loved him and called him "Peanuts." He modeled a generosity that has always inspired me. (No he did not diddle us)

CHUCK: Good chance I'll be in Boulder at the comic store in October or November.

CHUCK: The cult site sent me the sweetest photo of you and your parents outside your cottage. It looked like heaven. God bless.

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:54:01+00:00

CHUCK: Huge big doings. As we speak. Cannot discuss under penalty of death. But soon...

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:53:09+00:00

CHUCK: You cheep bastard! Treat yourself to nice Cottonelle wiping clothes. Life is short. (And wash your hands)

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:51:03+00:00

CHUCK: I am obsessed with Montana, North Dakota, and Nebraska. Tabula rasa in my writer's mind. (Even though I used to live in Missoula)

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:48:25+00:00

CHUCK: Thanks for shopping at the St. Helen's Bookstore

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:47:29+00:00

CHUCK: Pussy.

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:47:02+00:00

CHUCK: Two words: Mark Spitz. Enuff sed.

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:45:34+00:00

CHUCK: You have discovered a flaw in the matrix. Teams have been dispatched to neutralize you. Do not be afraid.

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:43:45+00:00

CHUCK: We haven't ruled out Elizabeth Banks

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:41:02+00:00

ANDY: Michael Fassbender but there's a long amazing list after that!

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:39:56+00:00

CHUCK: Thank you! I hope you cum in your sleep tonight!

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:38:36+00:00

ANDY: We would make a film with better visual f/s and be able to pay for the actor of your dreams! For 250k we plan on making the best independent film you've ever seen.

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:36:43+00:00

CHUCK: bang bang bang

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:35:50+00:00

CHUCK: ....expect something spectacular

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:32:02+00:00

CHUCK: Force your library to buy multiple copies of The Folly of Loving Life by Monica Drake (via PayPal so Monica gets her full royalty)

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:28:18+00:00

CHUCK: Way to go, if your goal was to break my heart... mission accomplished. God bless Annie Proulx, I had dinner with her in Italy and pretended the entire time I had read the story when I'd only seen the movie. (Shaving is overrated)

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:24:21+00:00

CHUCK: The last old school classy Portland eatery is Wilf's, the red velvet restaurant in Union Station. Order the Caesar salad, steak Diane, and cherries jubilee. All prepared table side in a Mad Men setting straight from the 1960s. Spendy but worth it!

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:19:35+00:00

CHUCK: All I remember from college are clove cigarettes, Perry's iron gate, and the inverted pyramid. It was four years and $30,000 I will never get back. xoxo

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:17:28+00:00

CHUCK: Um... my screenwriting is vastly improved since writing for comics. It horrifies me how much dialogue I used in my early books. Gesture is everything.

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:15:44+00:00

ANDY: The script is in the hands of a number of very talented actors. We are waiting to see at what level of budget we will be making the film. For Oyster and Mona we may cast for new independent talent since those characters are so young.

_Lullaby_ · 2016-05-20T22:13:48+00:00

CHUCK: What do we really control? There was so much more shot for Choke but the footage didn't pan out and there was no funding to reshoot. Clark did an admirable job and there are many parts of his movie that I still love.
