Mike Flanagan has worked on several Stephen King adaptations, with a new one set to premiere soon. The Life of Chuck is the third adaptation after 2017’s Gerald’s Game and 2019’s Doctor Sleep.
The Life of Chuck had its world premiere in September 2024 at the Toronto International Film Festival, and it snatched an important award, the People’s Choice Award. The new Mike Flanagan-Stephen King collaboration is set to adapt the latter’s 2020 novella of the same name, which follows the life of an ordinary man named Charles Krantz. After a brief teaser last month, Neon has officially introduced the official trailer ahead of the film’s May premiere.
Neon teased, «From the hearts and minds of Stephen King and Mike Flanagan comes THE LIFE OF CHUCK, the extraordinary story of an ordinary man. This unforgettable, genre-bending tale celebrates the life of Charles ‘Chuck’ Krantz as he experiences the wonder of love, the heartbreak of loss, and the multitudes contained in all of us.»
Ahead of the trailer’s official release, The Life of Chuck‘s star-studded cast switched their profile pictures to a photo of Tom Hiddleston’s Charles Krantz to tease the new promo clip. The official Instagram account reshared a photo of their new profile pictures, asking, «Who is Chuck?,» as well as a promo alongside a TV experiencing a glitch, noting, «Pardon the interruption. Trailer tomorrow.» A voiceover says, «We’d like to thank Charles Krantz for 39 great years. Thanks Chuck!»
