The big screen adaptation of Chuck Palahnuik's Choke is my second most anticipated movie of this year's Sundance Film Festival. The first Palahnuik film adaptation, Fight Club, had a great electronic score by The Dust Brothers, backed up by the powerful Pixies climax of "Where is My Mind". So what will Clark Gregg's film bring in terms of a musical sound? Here is a sneak peak:

  • Radiohead – "Reckoner"
  • Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! – "Satan Said Dance"
  • The Fiery Furnaces – "Navy Nurse"
  • Ben Kweller – "The Rules"
  • The Twilight Singers – "There's Been An Accident"
  • Rogue Wave – "Lake Michigan" (which plays out in the film's final credits)
  • Nathan Larson (Boys Don't Cry, Palindromes) composed the film's score
  • Alap Momin (a.k.a. The Oktopus) from the outré New Jersey hip-hop group, Dälek also scored one musical cue in the film.

    • Choke premieres on January 21st at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. I'll be in Park City covering the festival, so check back for a review. No distribution deal is in place, but with the writers strike in full effect, I don't expect any remotely marketable film to leave Park City without a studio deal.
