Mr. Sohal met David Fincher at the BAFTA Awards, London. David Fincher walked towards Mr. Sohal, who was holding this poster, and drew a black eye on Brad Pitt, and said 'that's more like it !'.


It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs, and video/DVD sleeves.


This film was directed by David Fincher and stars Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter. It is based on Chuck Palahniuk's 1996 novel of the same name. A nameless man, played by Norton, narrates the story in the first person. The narrator is discontented with his work and personal life and suffers from chronic insomnia. In order to try and help alleviate his insomnia, he attends a number of support groups, pretending to be suffering from various diseases. At one of these groups, he meets Marla Singer (Bonham Carter), who is also a fake attendee. On a flight home from a business trip, the narrator meets soap salesman, Tyler Durden (Pitt) and they become friends and form an underground fight club and other illegal schemes. Tyler Durden and Marla Singer have a relationship, and the two men compete for her attention in an out-of-control way. The narrator becomes aware of Durden's true agenda and must accept that he was not who he presented himself as. Although this film wasn't a commercial success when it was released, it has since become a cult classic.
