Choke Gets A Release Date.

Fox Searchlight, who just picked up the rights to Chuck Palahniuk's book turned movie, Choke, has announced that the film will hit theaters on:

August 1st 2008

For those who don't know anything about the movie, here's a plot summary from imdb.com:

"Victor Mancini (Rockwell) is a medical-school dropout who has devised an ingenious scam to pay elder care for his Alzheimer's-afflicted mother: he pretends to choke on pieces of food while dining in upscale restaurants. He then allows himself to be "saved" by fellow patrons who, feeling responsible for Victor's life, go on to send checks to support him. When he's not pulling this stunt, Victor cruises sexual addiction recovery workshops for action, visits his addled mom, and spends his days working at a colonial theme park."



I will be on the look out for the trailer.
