Radiohead to Score "Choke"

2008-08-12 by Athom EMERITUS | 33 Comments
Radiohead will be scoring the film adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's book "Choke".

Quote:
“So Clark (Gregg, Director) got Radiohead to contribute a song; to write a song for the very end of the movie, the final credits. Apparently Radiohead liked the movie so much, they’ve written the score, most of the ambient music throughout it. So it’s ‘Choke – with the music of Radiohead’“

no way. awesome.

Book was alright, Fight Club and Survivor are easily better. They need to make "Survivor" into a movie asap, it's much more interesting than "Choke."

Yorke's score for There Will Be Blood deserved a nom at least...the only score i've ever been interested in enough to look up who did it and it doesn't get nominated...lame
This should be good musically at least

Yeah, TWBB should have been nominated but the Oscars have an annoying rule that you can't be nominated if you use pre-existing music in your score (in Greenwood's case, this was "Bodysong" and some Brahms).

The only cool part about that book was the fact that he went to sexaholics meetings to meet chicks.

The rest of the story was meh.

I'd like to hear some Amnesiac in the soundtrack though...

i havent seen the trailers for it yet but i heard it was "inspired" by the book and is not actually following it to any real extent.

The leading up to the ending was great, minus the children of the cornish part.

I just picked up his new book Snuff because the premise interested me.

Porn star aims to set a new record by having 600 guys fuck her, one after the other, on camera.

According to an update on the website whose link is in this news article, Radiohead are in fact NOT doing the score for this movie. Only the song "Reckoner" from their last album made the cut. Which is too bad, but Ill see it anyway...

Both are a lot more awesome than Choke.

I thought Haunted would make a good movie, though too disturbingly disturbing to make it a theatrical release.

My friend will cream his pants over this, a big Palahniuk reader.

No studio would release Haunted without cutting it heavily.

I know they haven't made Survivor into a movie yet because of 9/11, and I haven't read any palahniuk the whole way through besides FC, Survivor, and Choke. I tried Haunted and Lullabye but never finished.

Umm... I'm pretty sure they're getting Radiohead to do the score BECAUSE the movie is going to suck. They've gotta fill the theaters somehow, right?

Side note- I thought I heard somewhere that they were making a movie out of House of Leaves. Anybody know anything about that? That would be sick.
