#73. Choke
Director/Writer: Clark Gregg
Producers: Johnathan Dorfman (Joshua), Temple Fennell, Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson (Conrail)
Distributor: Fox Searchlight Pictures
The Gist: Based on the Chuck Palahniuk book, “Choke” follows Victor Mancini (Rockwell), a sex addict who works as a Colonial War re-enactor and runs a con scheme that involves deliberately choking in restaurants and attaching himself parasitically to his rescuers, all to fund his mother’s (Huston) care at a private mental hospital.
Fact: This is the directorial debut of actor Clark Gregg.
See It: Those who have kept tabs on Sam Rockwell might just adore him in this Palahniuk creation.
Release Date/Status?: Picked up at Sundance for a cool 5 million, expect this to find theaters sometime this summer.
