Neon has unveiled an exciting new full trailer for The Life of Chuck, a film directed by Mike Flanagan and based on a Stephen King story that’s quickly becoming one of the most anticipated releases of 2025. Along with the trailer, a fresh poster has also been revealed, adding to the growing buzz surrounding the project.
From what we saw in the trailer, The Life of Chuck promises to be a beautifully crafted film that delivers a deeply emotional and uplifting narrative. Early viewers have hailed it as one of the best Stephen King adaptations ever made, raising expectations even higher.
The movie follows the life of Charles Krantz in three distinct phases, told in reverse order, starting with his death from a brain tumor at age 39 and ending with his childhood in a haunted house. The film is being described as an apocalyptic take on It’s a Wonderful Life, with King himself calling it “a happiness machine.” The narrative explores the multiple facets of a life, reflecting both dreams and the harsh realities that shape each person. Some have likened it to Stand By Me for its introspective take on the different lives that reside within each individual.
With glowing reviews pouring in, The Life of Chuck is shaping up to be a must-see movie of 2025. The film stars Tom Hiddleston as the titular character, with an ensemble cast that includes Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Matthew Lillard, and Carl Lumbly. Hiddleston, reflecting on his role, described the film as “very tender and very wise,” noting the story’s wisdom in conveying the courage it takes to hold on to what is good, even in a world that seems to be falling apart.
Director Mike Flanagan spoke about the film’s unique approach to disaster, explaining, “While typical disaster movies focus on characters fleeing from catastrophes like tidal waves, this story centers on people quietly holding hands and gazing at the stars.” Hiddleston further emphasized the film’s themes, saying, “The life of every human being is a constellation, and there are moments that burn brightly, like individual stars.”
The impressive cast also features Mark Hamill, David Dastmalchian, Jacob Tremblay, and several other notable actors. The film is set for a theatrical release on May 30, 2025, and it’s quickly becoming a must-see for fans of Stephen King, Mike Flanagan, and powerful storytelling.
