The idea of hijacking and then crashing a plane isn't exactly looked upon lightly these days. After the tragedies, it's really no wonder either. Unfortunately Chuck Palahniuk's Survivor was written many years before 9/11. The whole idea of a Survivor movie has been scrapped. People don't want to see a terrorist as a main character in a film.

But that's just the thing. Tender Branson, really isn't a terrorist in the traditional sense. Instead of terrorizing through guns, bombs and threats, he does so with a smile and a finely tuned wink. He's a religious leader, pitchman and fitness expert all rolled into one increasingly strange package.

You'll read about the rise and fall of a strange little Amish-man who likes to run a fake suicide hotline for fun. You'll ponder the existence of the pornography landfill and the treasures within.

More than anything, Survivor looks upon celebrity with a very wary eye. Is it possible to be loved and adored and still maintain some semblance of sanity? Clearly, to Chuck, the answer is no.
