Palahniuk Choke movie

Choke -Chuck Palahniuk
Originally uploaded by Tobyotter

More details are being released about the forthcoming movie version of Chuck Palahniuk's book Choke. Sam Rockwell (great in Hitchhiker's Guide) and Anjelica Huston (great in the Royal Tenenbaums) are the two biggest names set to star, and Clark Gregg (wrote the screenplay for What Lies Beneath) is writing the screenplay and directing. Choke is, in my opinion, one of Palahniuk's best books (and I'm an admitted fan of his work), and I think it'll translate well to the screen. Here's hoping that it doesn't wimp out.

Eloise on the big screen

Eloise

I'd heard awhile back that an Eloise movie was in the works, and it seems that Charles Shyer will be directing. Shyer's written some good ones (including Smokey and the Bandit) and written and directed some others (including Father of the Bride), so that's a point in his favor. I'm still reserving judgment but remaining cautiously optimistic.
