May 1 2007'Choke' on Sam Rockwell, Bitch
I too have eaten cat poop for a dollar
For those of us that have waited far too long for something like Fight Club, some good news:
In an email message, [writer of Fight Club and Choke] Palahniuk reportedly said that production on Choke would start on May 18. Clark Gregg has been nabbed as the director.
It obviously goes on to say that Sam Rockwell will be playing the lead, otherwise me posting that picture of him would be totally weird.
For you ignorant sluts out there (and I'm looking at you, grandma) Choke is a book by Fight Club writer Chuck Palahniuk about a guy who pretends to choke at restaurants. It'd be nice if David Fincher came back to direct this one too, but if my penis has taught me anything, it's that you can't always get what you want.

He also wrote a novel called "invisible monsters" that is quite good. Your penis seems to have taught you well, young padawan.

Not to mention Survivor, Lullaby, Diary and a bunch of others. Survivor is one of his best works in my opinion, but I cant see it getting a movie adaptation. Here's to hoping Choke is made as well as Fight Club

Survivor has been optioned for a movie. However, it has been indefinitely shelved since Sept. 11. Invisible Monsters also has been optioned, but it'll be a while before we see that one made either.

Choke is easily my favorite Palahniuk novel, and I've been waiting for production to roll on it for awhile, now. Niiiiice.

alright, i can't see this movie coming out well... i mean. it's SO graphic. i'm just sure they're going to cut out a lot of it (i'm not about to spoil the book/movie for anyone, but if you read it, you know what i'm talking about towards the end). i would have liked to see survivor made before this one. as someone from nyc, i can tell you that it's been long enough after 9/11 to make that movie.

ugh, Sam Rockwell...well there go my hopes of not finding the movie intolerably annoying

David Fincher is all that kept Fight Club from becoming Brokeback Mountain. The book was good, but Fincher made it legendary.
Sam Rockwell sure was awesome in The Green Mile. And Matchstick Men. I lied about that second one.

i am so excited about this. Choke is my favorite novel of Chuck Plahniuks and ever since i read it i have wanted to see what they would do with it as a movie. i can only hope it turns out as fanastical as fight club;)
