Fincher considered the novel too infatuated with Tyler Durden and changed the ending to move away from him: "I wanted people to love Tyler, but I also wanted them to be OK with his vanquishing."
Redatelj je smatrao kako je roman previše posvećen Tyleru Durdenu pa je promijenio kraj kako skrenuo pozornost s njega: "Htio sam da ljudi vole Tylera, ali sam isto tako htio da se pomire s njegovim nestankom."
