Winner of the People’s Choice Award at last year’s Toronto Film Festival, one of the most reliable Oscar bellwethers, The Life of Chuck now has an official trailer. Based on the 2020 novella by Stephen King collected in If It Bleeds, the film is directed by Mike Flanagan and stars Tom Hiddelston as Charles “Chuck” Krantz, a man who “experiences the wonder of love, the heartbreak of loss, and the multitudes contained in all of us.”
Between the trailer marketing the film, which also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Jacob Tremblay, and Mark Hamill, as originating from the “heart and soul” of Flanigan and using critic quotes that herald it as a “life-affirming masterpiece” and “It’s a Wonderful Life for today,” distributor Neon is nothing if not leaning into the elation of the material.
The Life of Chuck opens in select cities on June 6.
