Stephen King's The Life of Chuck - Mike Flanagan directing
This is one of the most exciting upcoming movies of the year (I'm assuming it might get released this year, but not 100% sure). It was directed by Mike Flanagan and stars Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan and Jacob Tremblay.
The movie had its world premiere at the TIFF today. Here is an article from when the project was first announced: Tom Hiddleston & Mark Hamill To Star In Stephen King Adaptation ‘The Life Of Chuck’ For Director Mike Flanagan https://deadline.com/wp-content/uplo...1&h=383&crop=1
Tom Hiddleston (Thor franchise) and Mark Hamill (Star Wars) are set to star in new Stephen King adaptation The Life Of Chuck, which will be a hot package at the upcoming Cannes market.
Doctor Sleep and The Haunting Of Hill House helmer Mike Flanagan is directing, scripting and producing for Intrepid Pictures alongside fellow producer Trevor Macy. FilmNation will handle international sales with WME Independent handling domestic. Based on the short story from King’s 2020 anthology If It Bleeds, The Life of Chuck is three separate stories linked to tell the biography of Charles Krantz in reverse, beginning with his death from a brain tumour at 39 and ending with his childhood in a supposedly haunted house. According to the production, the genre project will draw tonally from Stand By Me, The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. |

Stephen King had good things to say about it!

Re: Stephen King's The Life of Chuck - Mike Flanagan directing
If It Bleeds was the first Stephen King book I ever read. Got it as a gift years ago. I wasn't really that fond of it, but I liked the concept of The Life of Chuck. Here's hoping Flanagan does it again... again.

I don't know what to think about a movie that chronicles the life of someone who DIES at 39 and we see his life spin backwards. Knowing that he has such a short life ahead of him, this would be a bit of a downer for me. I have the anthology "If It Bleeds" but haven't read the novella yet.
Still, considering that the movie adaptation of King's "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption", directed by Frank Darabont is my absolute favorite drama film, I guess time will tell. Too bad Darabont wasn't directing this one. He knocked it out of the park with "Shawshank" and "The Green Mile". |

As far as I'm concerned, Mike Flanagan can do no wrong. So I'm looking forward to this.

This looks interesting, despite my indifference towards Hush, the last Flanagan film I saw
