Mike Flanagan’s ‘Life of Chuck’ to Close Screen Festival of Inaugural SXSW London (Exclusive)

“The Life of Chuck,” Mike Flanagan’s sci-fi drama that won the Toronto Film Festival’s prestigious audience award last year, is set to close the screen festival of the inaugural SXSW London.
The film — being distributed locally by Studiocanal — will have it’s U.K. premiere as the event’s closing night film on June 7.
Adapted by Flanagan from Stephen King’s 2020 novella, “The Life of Chuck” stars Tom Hiddleston alongside Mark Hamill, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, and Jacob Tremblay. Billed as a “life-affirming” story about an ordinary man named Charles Krantz, the film is split into three distinct chapters that unfurl in reverse chronological order and are set against the backdrop of a world that appears to be slowly crumbling. The film — which Neon acquired for the U.S. after Toronto — has ben compared to King adaptations like “Shawshank Redemption” and “Stand By Me” rather than “It” or “Pet Sematary.
