Fox Searchlight has acquired world rights, less several international territories, to "Choke," adapted from the novel by Chuck Palahniuk ("Fight Club"). Deal is valued at $5 million. Sam Rockwell and Anjelica Huston star in the pic, which was directed by Clark Gregg.
Overture Films has also purchased U.S. rights for about $3.5 million on "Henry Poole is Here," a drama directed by Mark Pellington and starring Luke Wilson and Radha Mitchell.
Also expected to sell today is "Hamlet 2," after an all-night bidding war at the CAA condo.
