The Life of Chuck

Winner of the People’s Choice Award at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. 

Based on the 2020 science-fiction novella by Stephen King, Mike Flanagan’s The Life of Chuck stars Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Karen Gillan. This powerful tale celebrates the life of Charles ‘Chuck’ Krantz (Tom Hiddleston) as he experiences the wonder of love, the heartbreak of loss, and the multitudes contained in all of us.

"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."
Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
"Flanagan's genre work often gets praise for its tension and design, but I've always felt that his greatest gift is with performance. This is one of the best ensembles of the year, filled in with appearances by many of Flanagan’s past collaborators—there’s not a single piece that feels out of place."
