Is Sam Rockwell gonna hafta CHOKE a witch?!?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I've heard Moriarty love up on Chuck Palahniuk books and specifically CHOKE. I'm just about finished going through Charlie Houston's crime books, then I'll jump into DEATHLY HALLOWS, but I'm seriously considering stocking up on my Palahniuk books.

Sam Rockwell is co-starring in the movie adaptation of CHOKE alongside Anjelica Huston (I hope the headline makes a little more sense now), to be directed by Clark Gregg, an actor and first time writer/director on this flick. Kelly Macdonald and Brad Henke are also in the cast.

Rockwell will play a sex addict and Colonial War re-enactor who deliberately chokes in restaurants in order to attach himself to his rescuers and con them out of their life savings, all to support his mother (Huston) in a private mental health hospital.

The flick begins shooting this week in Jersey. Sounds like good stuff to me. Great cast, fun story... I'm in... and I gotta go hit Half-Priced Books after Comic-Con.
