British band Radiohead will be scoring CHOKE, the second movie based on a Chuck Palahniuk (FIGHT CLUB) novel. In the film, a sex-addicted con-man (Sam Rockwell) pays for his mother’s hospital bills by playing on the sympathies of those who rescue him from choking to death.
“Clark Gregg [Choke director]… knew that I’d written Choke while listening to [Radiohead’s 1993 debut album] Pablo Honey, with Creep over and over and over… So Clark got Radiohead to contribute a song; to write a song for the very end of the movie, the final credits… Apparently Radiohead liked the movie so much, they’ve written the score.”
I’m not exactly sure whether they just contributed a song, or they actually did in fact score the thing, but it doesn’t matter because Radiohead are f*cking amazing. It’s like asking whether you danced on a rainbow or slid along it, that you just experienced its unremitting beauty is miracle enough!
