The Life of Chuck (2024)
Hailed as “the best Stephen King film ever made” by Collider, The Life of Chuck 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.
Emmy nominee Tom Hiddleston (aka Loki, aka The Night Manager) leads the star-studded cast, which also includes Oscar nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor, Critics' Choice winner Jacob Tremblay, Critics' Choice Super nominee Karen Gillan, and Mark Hamill (aka Luke Skywalker), with narration by Emmy winner Nick Offerman.
Directed by Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House), The Life of Chuck won the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival and has an 80% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Collider hailed The Life of Chuck as “truly profound and magical”, and The Wrap called it “a stunning celebration of the moments that make life worth living.”
