The Life Of Chuck Trailer
Tom Hiddleston is dancing through life in Mike Flanagan’s Stephen King adaptation.
Having made his name with The Haunting Of Hill House, Midnight Mass, and other scary stories, it’s something of a surprise that Mike Flanagan’s collaboration with Stephen King isn’t another in that same vein. Instead, the masters of horror leave the genre behind for a life-affirming tale that’s closer related to King’s more sentimental stories such as A Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and Stand By Me. That’s not to say elements of horror are gone for good, there’s certainly a haunting atmosphere in a heartstring tugging trailer for a genre-bending tale with universal appeal and cosmic implications. The only light shed on the story so far is that it’s the life story an ordinary man, Charles Krantz; told in three chapters, and in reverse. The trailer introduces Tom Hiddleston as grown-up Chuck, with Jacob Tremblay, Benjamin Pajak, and Cody Flanagan as his younger counterparts. A tantalising supporting cast also features Mark Hamill, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Matthew Lillard, Mia Sara, and Nick Offerman.
