"The clock is reportedly ticking on director David Fincher's long-in-development adaptation of the Brian Michael Bendis graphic novel Torso.According to the Entertainment Weekly blog Hollywood Insider, Paramount's rights to the project -- which the site refers to as Ness rather than Torso -- are due to expire December 15 and the studio has yet to green-light the movie, despite the involvement of Fincher and stars Matt Damon, Casey Affleck and Rachel McAdams.
"A source inside the negotiations says Damon and Affleck are ready to go, and that McAdams has expressed interest, but Paramount has yet to pull the proverbial trigger", the site claims. "At press time, the studio insisted it only recently received a finalized script from Ehren Kruger (The Ring) and would make a decision before the rights ran out."

I will be really sad if this movie doesn't happen. I was really looking forward to it. It was a fascinating case.
Let's cross our fingers for this to be just a pause, a temporary stagnant phase, I'm a Fincher devotee and his collaboration with Jake in "Zodiac" -although painful for the actors involved due to the perfectionism by Fincher- was splendid.
Zodiac was his masterpiece. Fight Club coming in at a close second.
But yeah I hope it does happen.
"Fight Club" was a more life-changing experience for me, darker and philosophical, although I think "Zodiac"'s cinematographic work could be superior.
