I am probably a little late with this but I only just read Black Hole so that's why.
http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117981202.html?categoryid=13&cs=1
Set in the suburbs of Seattle during the mid-1970s the book follows a group of mostly middle class teenagers who over the summer contract a mysterious sexually transmitted disease known as "the Bug" or "the teen plague", which causes them to develop bizarre physical mutations, turning them into social outcasts. Several teens with the bug find seclusion at "The Pit", an encampment in the woods outside of town.
It's funny that I actually read this article when it first came through my RSS feed back then but didn't realize what the fuck Black Hole was. My first impression back then was just I don't think I've seen a Fincher film that I didn't enjoy, Fight Club and Se7en for gods sake and more recently Zodiac which is a pretty impressive portfolio. (And Alien 3... of course.)
Worryingly however there is no news about this on imdb at all as far as I know http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000399/ which is a little dubious and brings me to point two of this topic other than saying hey this is pretty cool check it out. Is this for real? Fincher has been "attached" to a few projects recently and this film has been in discussion for a long time apparently. Neil Gaiman has been WAY busy on Beowulf and Stardust and writing however many books and things he writes a year so if anyone knows more about this than the duplicate articles posted on the net that pretty much repeat the same thing the one I posted above do then let me know because I would really like to see this movie!
