Samir Rehem directing adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's INVISIBLE MONSTERS

Chuck Palanhiuk's third novel, Invisible Monsters , has finally found a director. The project has been in the works for ten years after the success of Fight Club. According to IFC, producer Cameron MacLaren announced that Samir Rehem has been hired to helm the film. Rehem is known for his work on TV shows such as, Degrassi: The Next Generation and the American version of Skins. 

The novel tells the story of "a male-to-female transsexual and a former fashion model that is now missing the bottom half of her face. Together, the two embark on a road trip together, during which they encounter Palahniuk's signature sensationalism." 

This sounds like a rather interesting story that could only come from the mind of Palahniuk. Fincher did a fabulous job of adapting Fight Club. I also enjoyed Choke, so this is a film I am interested in. What are your thoughts on this news?
