Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood was robbed of an Oscar nomination for his work on There Will Be Blood last year, but he and the band are still willing to venture into movies one more time. Radiohead recorded a song for the end credits of the indie movie Choke, but apparently they liked the movie so much, they recorded the entire score.
“So it’s Choke – with the music of Radiohead,” Chuck Palahniuk, the author of the novel Choke, told BBC 6 Music, as reported by AtEaseWeb. Palahniuk said the movie's director, Clark Gregg, knew he had written the novel while listening to the Radiohead album Pablo Honey on repeat, so he sought the band out specifically to contribute to the movie.
Gregg, an actor making his directorial debut with Choke, told At Ease “I quit believing in my own life at this point! My life is just too incredible to be believable anymore. It’s a living dream.” Sam Rockwell stars in the “dirty-minded, satirical, psychotic comedy” as a man who pretends to choke in restaurants to earn pity money from the people who rescue him. Choke comes out September 26.
