Choke’s by far my favourite book of all time, and seeing it made into a movie really excites me but I’m scared that it won’t ever possibly live to the sick twisted adaptations my cynical little mind has conjoured. I guess if they really wanted to take the esscence of the book though; they’d have to make it an NC-17 rating…which would automatically set people off from the spirit of the book, misjudging it at pornography. Yeah, it’s graphic, but that’s how it goes. The grapic images it burns into your brain are images that will never leave you; and that’s why I don’t really think the movie will live up to what I want. I have a set image in my head; play by play; word for word; and mabye, more than likely, the movie can’t live up to what I think :/

i have been dying for this film for ages, because it is one of my favourite books and i just hope it delivers. i heard that the end isn’t the same as the book which is a bit annoying cus its one of the most powerful bits

Thanks for the review, but I’d really be interested what the movie is actually about :p

completely agree about the VO. i was stoked to see it in the clip and it made me hopeful for the whole movie. so, i’m a little let down.

nonetheless, i’m pumped to see it.

Thank-you Peter!

I think I’m gonna be sick at the thought of no voice over. To me that is KEY to translating a Chuck book. It is the soul of his books.
I’ll take your word for it and stay excited to see it.
But I can’t help but feeling like someone just cut the horn off my unicorn….

@ peter: I’ve been dying for this review! glad to hear its a worthy adaptation, my question is, do you know by any chance, what the month/day release might be? thanks, and also i think that first chapet would have been a great way to cross that ‘4th wall’, where the character adresses the audience. its something that palahniuk does well, and fight club did tremendously.
