Radiohead have denied that they have written the score for the forthcoming Hollywood movie Choke.

Yesterday, Chuck Palahniuk, who wrote the original novel, claimed the band had become involved in the project after finding out he had written the story while listening to their debut album 'Pablo Honey'.

“Apparently Radiohead liked the movie so much, they’ve written the score, most of the ambient music throughout it,” Palahniuk told the BBC.

Radiohead have denied this, however, saying they have simply commissioned the use of 'The Reckoner', a track off their latest album 'In Rainbows', for the films credits.

"No one in the Radiohead organization is aware of the band composing any original, incidental, or ambient music for Choke,” a spokesperson said.

Palahniuk, who also wrote the seminal Fight Club, had said he was honoured to hear that the band had written a score for the film, adding: “My life is just too incredible to be believable anymore. It’s a living dream."

Choke, which has been directed by Clark Gregg, is due to be released in cinemas in the UK this November.
