The Life of Chuck
From the hearts and minds of Stephen King and Mike Flanagan comes THE LIFE OF CHUCK, the extraordinary story of an ordinary man. This unforgettable, genre-bending tale celebrates the life of Charles 'Chuck' Krantz as he experiences the wonder of love, the heartbreak of loss, and the multitudes contained in all of us. Starring Tom Hiddleston, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Jacob Tremblay, Mia Sara, Matthew Lillard, Kate Siegel, and Mark Hamill.
This special re-release version of THE LIFE OF CHUCK features an exclusive Q&A with Director Mike Flanagan and star Mark Hamill. The movie, an adaptation of Stephen King's novella and directed by Mike Flanagan, follows the life of Charles "Chuck" Krantz and is a poignant, life-affirming story that deviates from traditional horror. This version offers a chance to hear insight directly from the filmmaker and actor about the making of the film, its emotional resonance, and the enduring legacy of King’s original story.
Winner of the People's Choice Award, Toronto International Film Fest 2024
"A film that’s as sweet as it is scary, and whose frights are the sort that come from all-too-relatable fears about being alone, being apart, and being unable to hold onto the people and memories that matter most." (The Daily Beast)
"This is one of the best ensembles of the year, filled in with appearances by many of Flanagan’s past collaborators." (RogerEbert.com)
"'The Life of Chuck' is miraculous, a feather in [Mike] Flanagan’s already-decorated cap, and a dance worth saying yes to." (Film Obsessive)
"Now that he’s delivered an elegy in the vein of “Stand By Me” or “The Shawshank Redemption,” Flanagan has made one thing clear: He’s attuned to King at every frequency." (Washington Post)
