When Sam Rockwell walks into the room and shakes my hand, he looks distractingly like Eric Knox, his nouveau-riche hipster software mogul/villain from the tragically underrated Charlie's Angels. He's also easily distracted by the assorted bric-a-brac on the conference table -- my tape recorder, a bowl of candy, mini-sodas, etc. -- but despite our mutual distractions, we soon get down to business to discuss Choke, the new film adaptation of Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk's book, that's been picking up good buzz since its debut at Sundance in January. (Rockwell sat near me at the premiere, heavily disguised in a preposterous wig.)
Those who hold Palahniuk's work to be generational holy writ will breathe easy to know that Choke follows the material faithfully, telling the story of Victor Mancini, a Gen-X wastoid who spends his days working an absurd job as a historical actor at a colonial village and his nights perpetrating a scam in which he intentionally chokes on food at fancy restaurants. Oh, and he may or may not be Jesus Christ, reincarnated.

With 'Choke' set to hit cinemas within a month, Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk has apparently let slip that another of his cult novels is to be made into a screenplay.
Lullaby is a typically twisted Palahniuk story, about a supernatural poem that if people listen to, or even think about, die. Lovely story I'm sure.
There seems to be a lot of rumours flying around about the writer at the moment, recently he apparently said Radiohead were doing the score for one of his films, which they then denied, as well as various gossips about even more big screen adaptations.
I say keep the rumours coming Chuck, if it's you that's starting them...

Radiohead have quashed the rumours that they are writing the score for Chuck Palahniuk's new film, Choke.
There has been much anticipation about the new film from Fight Club author, and that only grew after Palahniuk told BBC 6 Music that Radiohead had written the film's score.
A spokesperson for the band has denied that they wrote the whole score and claimed that they had only contributed 1 song to the film, 'Reckoner' from their latest album 'In Rainbows.'

If the news that a Palahniuk film is on the way wasn't enough to make you happy, wait to hear who's in charge of the soundtrack.

"Speaking to BBC 6 Music on the Shaun Keaveny Breakfast Show, Palahniuk explained it all came from his love of the band’s music, saying: 'Clark Gregg, who directed the movie version of Choke which comes out on September 26 (in the US), he knew that I’d written Choke while listening to Radiohead’s Pablo Honey, with Creep, over and over and over. So Clark got Radiohead to contribute a song; to write a song for the very end of the movie, the final credits. Apparently Radiohead liked the movie so much, they’ve written the score, most of the ambient music throughout it. So it’s Choke – with the music of Radiohead."

It's better to be remembered than liked ... or so says Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk. 'Choke' is the forthcoming film from said writer and it is definitely memorable among other adjectives ... I don't know what it says about me, but I loved the book version and can not wait to see how it adapts to the screen.
