Three stories, one life — and Tom Hiddleston in the lead role. Stephen King's The Life of Chuck is getting a highly anticipated adaptation, and while the film is set to release in June, the first teaser is already available.
In the teaser, we hear Tom Hiddleston’s voice, quoting, “The universe is large, it contains multitudes, but it also contains me.” This line captures the essence of the story, which is divided into three parts: Chuck's childhood, adulthood, and final days.
The narrative explores the life of Chuck, an ordinary man, through moments of surrealism and profound introspection. King delves into themes of identity, mortality, and the human experience, blending the ordinary with the supernatural. The philosophical layer questions existence and the meaning of life, offering a reflective journey that examines how one life, no matter how seemingly insignificant, impacts the larger universe.
Directed by Mike Flanagan, The Life of Chuck premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2024, where it won the People's Choice Award. . Alongside Tom Hiddleston, the film features a notable ensemble cast including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Mark Hamill, Jacob Tremblay, and Nick Offerman.
The movie is scheduled for release in the United States on June 6, 2025
