I found this small snippet on the Dark Horizons website:

"Universal Pictures has apparently acquired film rights to Chuck Palahniuk's novel "Choke" with Paul Bernbaum ("Hollywoodland") tapped to write. The novel concerns Victor Mancini, a young man who scams people by, literally, choking in restaurants in order to keep his mother in St. Anthony's Care Center while he goes to sexaholic meetings to get some action & at the same time lusts after his mom's nurse".

Chuck Palahniuk is probably my favourite author, and I've been waiting for a film adaptation of 'Choke' for a long time. If you haven't read 'Choke', or any other Chuck Palahniuk book for that matter, you should do so immediately.
