New Featurette For Stephen King's THE LIFE OF CHUCK Focuses on The Amazing Cast
A new featurette for the film adaptation of Stephen King’s The Life of Chuck. has been released and it focuses on the incredible supporting ensemble cast, and what they bring to the movie.
The video highlights Heather Langenkamp, Mia Sara, Carl Lumbly, Matthew Lillard, David Dastmalchian, Karen Gillan, Annalise Basso, and Harvey Guillen.
This is such a great, wonderful, and inspiring film and it’s one that people have to go out and experience on the big screen! Director Mike Flanagan did an amazing job bringing this story to life!
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.”
The film is described as an apocalyptic version of It’s a Wonderful Life, and King, who has seen the film, says that it’s “a happiness machine.”
It’s also described as “a Stand By Me for the multiple lives within each of us, pulled between our dreams and down-to-earth pragmatism.”
Hiddleston previously talked about the film, saying: “Well, he’s written something very tender and very wise. I think there is a great wisdom in the soul of the story, which is that it takes courage to hold on to what is good in a world that feels like it’s falling apart.”
When talking about the disaster aspect of the story, Flanagan explains why this one is different: “A disaster movie has people meeting the end while running from tidal waves, and this story has people sitting quietly holding hands looking at the stars.”
Hiddleston went on to say: “The life of every human being is a constellation, as expressed in this film. There are certain moments which will burn most brightly as individual stars.
“Sometimes it feels like the world is going to hell in a handcart, and it’s full of pain and suffering, and it is—but there are moments of deep joy and deep connection.”
The movie is now playing in theaters.
