Based on three interconnected stories from King’s 2020 novella “If It Bleeds,” “The Life of Chuck” follows the life of Charles “Chuck” Krantz in reverse, beginning with his death at age 39 and ending with his childhood in a supposed haunted house. “The Life of Chuck” marks Flanagan’s third adaptation of King’s work, following 2017’s “Gerald’s Game” and 2019’s “Doctor Sleep.”
Writer-director Flanagan produces the feature adaptation alongside his longtime Intrepid Pictures partner Trevor Macy and QWGmire’s Molly C. Quinn, Matthew W. Welty and Elan Gale. “The Life of Chuck” was granted a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement, which allows the actors to work on the film amid the ongoing strike. In order to obtain an interim agreement, a producer must operate independently from companies belonging to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and agree to terms proposed by SAG-AFTRA in its negotiations with the AMPTP.
