Hey everyone, Frosty here. I’m at the Sundance Film Festival and a bit under the weather…so I apologize about the lack of updates. I’m hoping that a great night’s sleep will make whatever I have go away. However, while all I want to do is sleep, I was just sent a short 2 minute epk for the upcoming Chuck Palahniuk movie “Choke,” which is premiering at this year’s Festival. While most of the clip is director Clark Gregg talking about why he made the movie, there is a bit of footage mixed in.

So if you’re a fan of Chuck Palahniuk and have been anxiously awaiting anything on the movie, I think you’ll enjoy the clip. The scene reminds me a lot of something from the beginning of “Fight Club.” You'll see.

Here’s the official synopsis, and I’ll try and update later tonight if I feel better.

Victor Mancini, a sex-addicted med-school dropout, keeps his increasingly deranged mother, Ida, in an expensive private mental hospital by working days as a historical reenactor. At night he runs a scam where he deliberately chokes in upscale restaurants to form parasitic relationships with the wealthy patrons who “save” him. When, in a rare lucid moment, Ida reveals that she has withheld the shocking truth of his father’s identity, Victor must enlist the aid of his best friend, Denny, a recovering chronic masturbator, and his mother’s beautiful attending physician, Dr. Paige Marshall, to solve this mystery before the truth of his possibly divine parentage is lost forever.

Adapted from the acclaimed novel by Chuck Palahniuk, CHOKE tickles the funny bone as it dives into darker areas of human behavior. At the heart of the film is yet another staggering performance by Sam Rockwell as Victor. He fully inhabits the character and nails both the comedic and dramatic aspects with indelible timing and delivery. A delicious blend of fresh writing, juicy performances, and sharp directing, CHOKE is actually quite easy to swallow.
