My Thoughts On The Life Of Chuck

Here are my thoughts on The Life of Chuck.

Never before had a movie been so hyped well before its release as The Life of Chuck. It all started back in September last year when it had a limited premiere attended by King, Mike Flanagan, Mark Hamill and others. Everyone agreed it was a great movie and that all of us King fans would love it. People compared it to Stand By Me, The Green Mile, and The Shawshank Redemption—even calling it an Oscar contender.

David Dastmalchian Talks The Life of Chuck

David Dastmalchian discusses his experience working with Mike Flanagan on The Life of Chuck and it’s good things he has to say…

Getting to work with Mike Flanagan on Life of Chuck was A) an honor because I just adore his work. I think he’s such a talented storyteller. B) he’s a close friend of mine. So it’s fun when your friends with someone, for example, James Gunn, we were friends a long time before I ever got to be directed by the guy. You know, like. So with Mike, when he said ‘do you want to come play on Life of Chuck?’ and he told me about the character and I got to read his script, and I was so moved.

And you know, it’s beautiful, it’s based off the Stephen King story. You think, Mike Flanagan, Stephen King, this thing’s going to just be the most horrifying, terrifying, thing you’ve ever seen. It is so beautifully rendered, heartfelt, the drama, the performances, they’re all across the board. The cast in this is deep. Matt Lillard has a moment in this film that just breaks my heart. Karen Gillan, another one who I think rides that incredible ski slope between her small indie art films and then big studio budgeted things. One of the best actors in Hollywood right now. Kate Siegel, I mean there’s so much great people! Ah, what a joy.

Life Of Chuck Made Star Karen Gillian Cry

Marvel star Karen Gillan has seen a rough cut of The Life of Chuck and says she "didn't stop crying for days".

"It’s a cathartic experience. It’s someone dealing with the end of their life, and it’s told in a very imaginative way, and it’s just beautiful. It’s a celebration of life, I suppose. I think we could all do with a bit of that."

The Life of Chuck don't have a release date yet but hopefully it'll be out this year.

The Life Of Chuck; So Unique & So Different

Jacob Tremblay who star in The Life of Chuck had this to say about the movie:

"It's just I had an amazing time on that set. One of the things I love about Mike is that he keeps things very, very fun and very kind of casual, but it's serious when it needs to be serious on set. So, it's really fun. I'm super excited for people to watch this film. I haven't seen or read anything like it before. It's so, so unique and so different."

Gulf Coast Media reports that Mike Flanagan will shoot The Life of Chuck in various locations around Baldwin and Mobile contries starting October 16.


The Alabama Gulf Coast has been the backdrop of many movies big and small, but there’s no better way to welcome the spooky Halloween season than with a Stephen King movie.

Gulf Coast Media confirmed today that filmmaker Mike Flanagan will shoot his third Stephen King adaptation, “The Life of Chuck,” in various locations around Baldwin and Mobile counties. The production is anticipated to begin filming Oct. 16 and run for approximately four weeks.

According to the local booking agency, 1,000 extras are needed for the film in a range of ages from 11 years old and up. The bulk of the extras are needed for two large crowd scenes to be filmed in Baldwin County.

The Life of Chuck To Start Filming In October

The filming of The Life of Chuck is all set to begin in Alabama in October. The production received a waiver from SAG-AFTRA to proceed with the casting for the film. However, since it hasn’t obtained an exemption from the union to move forward with the lensing, the shoot in Alabama can be affected by the ongoing actors’ strike. The Life of Chuck is helmed by Mike Flanagan, who also penned the script before the ongoing WGA strike and stars Tom Hiddleston in the titular role and Mark Hamill as Albie.
