Jan 22 2008 'Choke' On This (Clip from 'Choke')!
Whether you think writer Chuck Palahniuk is a brilliant satirist or a hackie shock author, Clark Gregg's Sam Rockwell-starring adaptation of Choke is sure to draw some big attention now that Fox Searchlight bought the picture for $5 million. It probably won't reach the immense popularity of Fincher's Fight Club, but its dark subject matter and matter-of-fact handling of sexual deviancy is sure to elicit some of the same responses--"This shit's totally f***ed up, dude," for one.
See a short interview with Gregg and some clips here.

Anjelica Huston on the set of 'Gremlins'
Anjelica Huston is set to play Sam Rockwell's mother in the upcoming movie adaptation of the Chuck "Holy Shit Do I Ever Need a Pen Name" Palahniuk's (Fight Club) novel Choke. Besides Rockwell, she joins Kelly MacDonald, Brad Henke, and newcomer director Clark Gregg, who also wrote the script.
Aside from the fact that I've been waiting for this movie for a long time, it reminds me of a little story - so if you'll allow me a little autobiographical license...
