So now there’s going to be a big backstory book…
In the summer of 1998 this guy and some friends went to play extras on the set of a film. The director David Fincher passed among them offering items from a cardboard box, and our guy took a pair of prop eyeglasses. After the day’s shooting, he bailed, taking the glasses with him.
More recently, he approached me in New York, wearing the iconic glasses and grey shirt. That’s him just behind Brad Pitt’s left shoulder in the movie still.
The powers that be are producing a lavish book to document the Fight Club film production. Memories are being dredged. I’d like to give credit where it’s due, so I’ll be posting this and similar pictures and hope to include the names of those shown.
So, is this you? And don’t even try to say it’s you if you’re Brandan.
My favourite thing about this Substack is the pure refusal to ever spell Brandon's name correctly. I love it, I'm here for it.
Oooo!! That’s gonna be so cool!!! I wanna know what happened to all the clothing. Did they save it? The pink robe is iconic. Loved all the clothing and styling on that film. Lots of guys in this area started dressing like Tyler. Some—— never stopped. Lol. I believe Meat Loaf kept his chest piece, but fell apart years later.
