Mike Flanagan has confirmed that he's completed post-production on his upcoming movie The Life of Chuck, as one of its stars, David Dastmalchian, has shared his early rea🌼ction to the star-studded sci-fi drama. The filmmaker shared the🎃 good news in the comments section .
Based on Stephen King's novella of the same name, which features in the author's If It Bleeds collection (along with Mr. Harrigan's Phone, which inspired 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the 2022 Netflix adaptation), it's set to follow the titular Charles 'Chuck' Krantz (Loki's Tom Hiddleston) as he travels back in time to watch his life play out in reverse order after he di🐠es. Having passed away from a brain tumor at 39, Chuck walks back through ma𓆉jor events, before finding himself once again living in a supposedly haunted house. (Well, it wouldn't be a Flanagan flick without some ghosties now, would it?)
"It's beautiful. You think, 'Oh, Mike Flanagan, Stephen King, this thing's going to just be the most horrifying, terrifying, thing you've ever seen.' [But] it is so beautifully rendered, heartfelt, the drama, the performances," gushed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Late Night with the Devil star Dastmalchian in 𝐆a new interview with .
"The cast in this is deep. [Matthew] Lillard has a moment in this film that just breaks my heart. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Karen Gillan, another one who I think rides that incredible ski slope between her small indie art films and then big studio budgeted things," he continued. "One of the best actors in Hollywood right noꦛw. Kate Siegel, I mean there's so [many] great people! Ah, what a joy."
Alongside the actors mentioned, The Life of Chuck also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Doctor Strange), Mia Sara (Ferris Bueller's Day Off), Q'orianka Kilcher (Yellowstone), Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows), and Mark Hamill, who recently collaborated with Flanagan for the first time on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Fall of the House of Usher. Other frequent members of the Flanafamily appearing in the movie inc𝓡lude Samantha Sloyan, Rahul Kohli, and Jacob Tremblay.
The director is no stranger to adapting King's works for the big screen, having previously helmed The Shining sequel 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Doctor Sleep, which sees a grown-up Danny Torrance (Ewan McGregor) try to wrestle with his past – and get to grip𝔉s with his supernatural gifts.
