CHOKE & TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE release dates
Posted by Matt Holmes
Two movies I can’t wait to see this year are CHOKE and the adaptation of the awesome novel THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE, the latter movie especially.
And we have some cool news today about both movies. They have both been given release dates…
First up, THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE will open on June 6th in the U.S. going up against the always marketable Adam Sandler and his comedy YOU DON’T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN and the animated animal movie KUNG FU PANDA.
It’s just about the only summer release slot the film could go for that wouldn’t be eaten up by a big blockbuster though last year I NOW PROUNOUNCE YOU CHUCK AND LARRY showed just how much money there still is in an Adam Sandler vehicle ($120 million domestic).
THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE stars Eric Bana as involuntary time traveller who must cope with is disease whilst trying to enjoy his relationship with the love of his life Rachel McAdams. The film comes from FLIGHTPLAN director Robert Schwentke and we should now be close to seeing an actual trailer for this thing soon.
Also given a release is CHOKE, the Clark Gregg adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s novel which was picked up by Fox Searchlight for $5 million at Cannes.
Slash Film say that movie has been given an August 1st release date which at the moment would put it up against THE MUMMY 3: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR.
Sam Rockwell leads as a sex-addicted con-man who pays for his mother’s (Angelica Huston) hospital bills by playing on the sympathies of those who save him from (intentionally) choking to death.
Thanks to Andrew for emailing me the heads-up on TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE.

When is time travelers wife due to come out in the uk
Does anyone know when in the uk time travelers wife will be relased?
I loved this book and I’m so excited to hear its been made into a movie. But it’s now October 2008 and I’m just now hearing about it. Was it actually released on June 6th or has it been put off so that it will get more screen time?
I have been waiting so long…the date keeps changing…I want, I want…
