Henry Poole and Choke Picked Up

After five relatively quiet days of no non-doc purchases Variety's Anne Thompson reports that the first two dramatic features of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival have been picked up with Sundance power player Fox Searchlight shelling out $5 million for Clark Gregg's highly-anticipated adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's novel Choke, starring Sam Rockwell and Anjelica Huston. (Hopefully, we'll be catching the press screening tonight.)

Fledgling distributor Overture Films (whose first theatrical release Mad Money opened this past weekend) paid $3.5 million for Mark (Arlington Road) Pellington's drama Henry Poole is Here starring Luke Wilson.
