 This is a big one. Chuck emailed me a few days ago to give me the exclusive news that Choke is going into production on June 18th! Sam Rockwell is set to star, and first-timer Clark Gregg will be directing. A little history on Gregg: He wrote the Robert Zemeckis thriller What Lies Beneath and, as an actor, is a regular on the hit TV show The New Adventures of Old Christine. Gregg adapted Choke into screenplay form and has been championing the project for years now. God bless him and his tenacity as the film has finally been greenlit for production and Gregg will be getting his debut in the directing chair. Chuck also went on to tell me that the mom is most likely Glenn Close, Annette Benning or Juliana Moore.

Nice.  Choke was easily my favorite novel of his.  Very cool.

I really disliked that book.

hmmm...two opposite opinions....i havent read Choke...as i suck at reading books..but i have read Lullaby (which i was hoping would be the next one to be made a movie), Stranger than Fiction and of course, fight club.  
 
   but i suppose Choke will be my next read!

Oh bogus...I guess I'm still have asleep, because I was thinking of Lullaby when I posted.  Nevermind...now that you mention it, I don't recall loving Choke.  Oops.

haha!!
 
  i have wanted Lullaby to be a movie for a while...but only as long as Brad Pitt played Oyster...though, now i am afraid he may be too old and controlled to do that.

 and i would watch sam rockwell read the phone book.
 
 win/win

[miss pretentious]
