MTV recently released this new clip from Choke, based on the Chuck Palahniuk novel. In it, the creepily-named Victor Mancini (played by Sam Rockwell) argues with his boss, played by Clark Gregg (who also directed the movie). They work at some sort of colonial village as historical interpreters. MTV‘s headline for the clip? “Sam Rockwell Gets Medieval in Choke.”

Ahh yes, Medieval times. When colonists fought with Indians, Columbus discovered the cotton gin, and fashionable dinosaurs fought duels in tri-corner hats. Good work, MTV. Hey, when’s that Jonas Brothers movie coming out? I f*cking love those little queers.

IGN just premiered the UK poster for Choke, starring Sam Rockwell, based on the book by Chuck Palahniuk.  The new Choke poster’s very much like the old Choke poster, the main difference being that the new one has panties.  Oddly enough, the panties-halfway-down version seems way dirtier than the completely naked version.  Maybe because I’m imagining that they’re moist.  I guess what I’m trying to say is, all of a sudden I really want to bone a black chick.

Choke (awesome red-band trailer here), Chuck Palahniuk’s first book to become a feature film since Fight Club, opens in September.   In the clip after the jump, Palahniuk discusses his inspiration for the novel – something about wearing a suit and taking a nap in front of your car. The gist of it is that he’ll go to extreme measures in order to be held by a man in uniform, but only if he can do so without getting his clothes dirty.  Between that story and the movie being named Choke – let’s face it, at this point a gay joke would just be redundant. 

After the jump I’ve got the red-band trailer for Choke, adapted from the Chuck Palahniuk novel.  This trailer focuses on the sex addict angle, and it’s so vulgar and full of nudity that it almost makes up for all the boobless crap that normally masquerades as red-band material.  I’m telling you, bare breasts can cure cancer.

Still, I don’t like how they referred to Chuck Palahniuk as "The incendiary author of Fight Club."  Not every homosexual deserves to be introduced with a flame metaphor, jerks.

Choke opens September 26th. 

Yeah, so apparently the red-band trailer was too raunchy and got pulled. Here’s the regular one

Fox Searchlight just released a new batch of pics from Choke, the Chuck Palahniuk adaptation from newbie director Clark Gregg opening September 26th. 

I’ve seen the movie twice now, and I’m pretty sure the photo above comes from a scene which was not included in film festival cut of the movie. Clark Gregg filmed Palahniuk’s original ending to the book, but the scene didn’t play as expected, and it was cut from the final film. Could this mean that the original ending has been reinserted into the film? Or is the photo above from another moment in the film which I might be completely forgetting? [/film]

In the book, one of the characters has an obsession with building things out of stones.  While I can offer you no insight into whether the scene did indeed make the final cut of the film, I can tell you that all this talk of reinserting things into the movie’s end is gettin me all hot.
