POSTED 05/28/2008 AT 3:59 PM ET

The trailer for "Choke," starring Sam Rockwell, Anjelica Huston, Kelly Macdonald and Brad William Henke, is now online. "Choke" is adapted for the screen and directed by Clark Gregg. The movie is based on the book by Chuck Palahniuk ("Fight Club").

"Choke" is a dark comedy about mothers and sons, sexual compulsion, and the sordid underbelly of Colonial theme parks. Victor Mancini (Rockwell), a sex-addicted med-school dropout, who keeps his increasingly deranged mother, Ida (Huston), in an expensive private medical hospital by working days as a historical re-enactor at a Colonial Williamsburg theme park. At night Victor runs a scam by deliberately choking in upscale restaurants to form parasitic relationships with the wealthy patrons who “save” him. When, in a rare lucid movement, Ida reveals that she has withheld the shocking truth of his father’s identity, Victor enlists the aid of his best friend, Denny (Henke) and his mother’s beautiful attending physician, Dr. Paige Marshall (Macdonald), to solve the mystery before the truth of his possibly divine parentage is lost forever.
