See the new film by director Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep, The Haunting of Hill House), starring Tom Hiddleston and adapted from a short story by Stephen King.

Who is Chuck? As the world hurtles toward catastrophe, images of a modest accountant named Chuck inexplicably appear everywhere. Based on the acclaimed story by Stephen King, The Life of Chuck pulls back the puzzle on one man’s inspiring life, from the present-day to his wonder-filled childhood, revealing the joy, unrealized dreams, and the profound impact a single life can have. Starring Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jacob Tremblay, Mia Sara, and Karen Gillan.
