By The first photos have been released from “Midnight Mass” and “The Fall of the House of Usher” director Mike Flanagan’s new Stephen King film adaptation “The Life of Chuck”.
Vanity Fair released the images ahead of the film’s world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in coming days.
Flanagan indicates King was skeptical the work, part of his 2020 anthology “If It Bleeds,” could be adapted. Now, having seen it, King dubs the film a “happiness machine”.
King’s novella unfolds in reverse chronological order and at three pivotal moments in the life of an accountant (played by Tom Hiddleston). It starts with his death from a brain tumor at 39, and ends with his childhood in a supposedly haunted house. All tying into this are a number of natural disasters simultaneously occuring.
The film will reportedly feature an elaborate dance number performed by Hiddleston in which he had to learn jazz, swing, salsa, cha-cha, the Charleston, bossa nova, polka, quickstep, samba and moonwalking.
Mark Hamill, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Jacob Tremblay, Matthew Lillard, Mia Sara, Harvey Guillén, Kate Siegel, Carl Lumbly, and Flanagan good luck charm Rahul Kohli co-star.
