MTV has just released the brand new trailer for the upcoming film, “Choke“, which is based on a novel written by Chuck Palahniuk, the man behind “Fight Club.”
“Choke” is a black comedy about Victor Mancini (Sam Rockwell), a sex addict who works as a Colonial War re-enactor and runs a con scheme that involves deliberately choking in restaurants and attaching himself parasitically to his rescuers. His reason for doing this, is to fund his mother’s (Anjelica Huston) care at a private mental hospital.
He is forced to address his intimacy issues when he falls in love with his mother’s doctor and discovers that he is unable to perform with the one woman he actually likes.
The new film is directed by Clark Gregg, who will be making his directorial debut. It is scheduled to hit theaters on August 1st.
