Radiohead to score Choke?

Controversial Fight Club and Snuff author Chuck Palahniuk has revealed Radiohead have written brand new music for the soundtrack to the new movie adaptation of his book Choke.
Speaking to BBC 6 Music on the Shaun Keaveny Breakfast Show, Palahniuk explained it all came from his love of the band’s music, saying: “Clark Gregg, who directed the movie version of Choke which comes out on September 26 (in the US), he knew that I’d written Choke while listening to Radiohead’s Pablo Honey, with Creep, over and over and over.
“So Clark got Radiohead to contribute a song; to write a song for the very end of the movie, the final credits. Apparently Radiohead liked the movie so much, they’ve written the score, most of the ambient music throughout it. So it’s ‘Choke – with the music of Radiohead’“
When asked if he felt honoured to have such a respected band write music solely for his film, the author laughed, “I quit believing in my own life at this point! My life is just too incredible to be believable anymore. It’s a living dream.”
Palahniuk’s work is famous associated with alternative music, with his use of Pixies’ Where Is My Mind during the finale of the feature film adaptation of his novel Fight Club.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.
I havent seen choke yet, although I'm dying to. And this should just be the icing on the cake.
But what happens to the old soundtrack? Did the film have a soundtrack, or did Clark Gregg submit a rough print to festivals to be polished by whatever studio picked his film up?
And will there be an album release of the radiohead soundtrack?
oh, i am definitely getting that ost

now it looks like i have to see choke
i was planning on it, but now its necessary
I don't think this movie could possibly get any better.
I was already excited for the film, now I'm the feeling that is equal to excited x 2.
My feelings reflect the views of above posters.
When released on DVD though, I think I might want the music that it was originally set to.
