Mike Flanagan (Gerald’s Game, Doctor Sleep) is headed back into the world of Stephen King with an adaptation of King tale The Life of Chuck, Deadline reports tonight.
Tom Hiddleston (Crimson Peak) and Mark Hamill (Star Wars) will star!
“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 tumor at 39 and ending with his childhood in a supposedly haunted house.”
Hiddleston will play Chuck, with Hamill playing the role of Albie.
Deadline details, “According to the production, the genre project will draw tonally from Stand By Me, The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.”
Flanagan will also write the script and produce through Intrepid Pictures.
Just last year, Netflix adapted Mr. Harrigan’s Phone, also pulled from King’s If It Bleeds.
