'Something Magical Happening': Mike Flanagan Proclaims The Life of Chuck the Best Movie He's Ever Made

Mike Flanagan has been behind many successful projects, some of them adaptations of famous classic works like The Haunting of Hill House Netflix show or 2019's Doctor Sleep. A self-proclaimed Stephen King fan, the filmmaker tackled several projects based on King's work, the latest being The Life of Chuck, which he proudly calls his best work ever.
The Life of Chuck adapts the novella from the 2020 collection If It Bleeds, putting Tom Hiddleston in the spotlight as the titular character. The novella follows the eponymous character's life in reverse in three acts. Flanagan wrote and produced the film with Trevor Macy through their Intrepid Pictures banner, and is very proud of the result, and confirmed to Collider he thinks it's the best movie he's done.
