02/15/09
OVERVIEW: Starring
acclaimed actor Sam Rockwell (The Green Mile, Confessions of
a Dangerous Mind), Academy Award® winner* Anjelica Huston
(Ever After, The Grifters) and Golden Globe® nominee** Kelly
MacDonald (“The Girl in the Café,” No Country for Old Men)
and featuring outstanding supporting performances from Bijou
Phillips (Bully, Havoc) and Brad William Henke (“October

Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2008 Sundance Film
Festival, Choke follows Victor Mancini (Rockwell) on a
journey through his absurd, sex addicted life. Based on the
novel by Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club) and directed by actor
Clark Gregg (Iron Man), Choke explores the scams and sexual
compulsion of a colonial theme park worker in a way that is
both unnerving and hysterically funny. Choke is full of
addictive bonus materials including deleted scenes, cast and
crew commentary, a gag reel and more.
SYNOPSIS: Based on
the novel by Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club), Choke is a dark
and wickedly funny joyride from the depths of sexual
compulsion to the heights of the Second Coming! Beside
working at a colonial reenactment theme park and trying to
hook up with everything on two legs, sex addict Victor
Mancini courts the love and money of complete strangers via
a demented con that might just kill him. But first, Victor
must save his dying, delusional mother (Angelica Houston) by
seducing and impregnating her comely physician, a task
easier said than done, in this gleefully twisted tale of
dysfunction, salvation, love, and libido.
