‘The Life of Chuck' cast reveal their favorite Stephen King works, including Mark Hamill's love of the ‘terrifying' ‘Pet Sematary'
Filmmaker Mike Flanagan and all of the main cast members from The Life of Chuck spoke with Gold Derby about their movie adaptation of Stephen King's novella from his 2020 book If It Bleeds. The film won the 2024 People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival, and was later acquired by Neon. It's due in theaters on Friday.
Tom Hiddleston, Jacob Tremblay, and Benjamin Pajak play the adult, teenage, and child versions of Charles "Chuck" Krantz, a modest accountant who grew up his dream to be a dancer. He's the central figure in the bittersweet story that's told in reverse over three acts. Flanagan wrote, directed, and produced the film that matches the tone of other non-horror adaptations from King, including Stand by Me (1986), The Shawshank Redemption (1994), and The Green Mile (1999).

SEE 'One of the best ever': Tom Hiddleston and Mark Hamill on why they fought to be in Mike Flanagan's 'The Life of Chuck'
Mike Flanagan: What a question! I will say, I think my favorite movie adaptation is The Shawshank Redemption. My favorite book is impossible to answer. The Dark Tower series for me is something that connects them all — I think that's his magnum opus. My favorite story to read though is The Life of Chuck, which is way up there. Hearts in Atlantis makes me cry tears of joy. The Green Mile novel is astonishing.
Tom Hiddleston: For movies, it's The Shawshank Redemption. It made a big impact on my whole life. It changed how I think about life, actually, when I watched it. It hit me at a very formative time, when I was a teenager. The compassion in the film, and the way it lands, and what redemption really is. The last 20 minutes of that film are some of the most moving from a motion picture I've ever seen.
Mark Hamill: There are so many different types of Stephen King novels. The most terrifying novel to me was Pet Sematary. I saw The Shining and walked straight from the theater to a bookstore to buy the book, so I could figure out what the hell I just saw. But I also like his books that aren't about supernatural or horror. The Body comes to mind, The Green Mile, and Shawshank Redemption. It's an embarrassment of riches.
Benjamin Pajak: I love If It Bleeds. I'm kind of biased, but I just love the stories in it. Every story in there has a place in my heart. I read it when I got cast, and I hadn't really known Stephen King before I found out I'd be in the movie. I immediately just felt connected to his writing when I read the book.
Chiwetel Ejiofor: There are very few films that I genuinely feel envious of people if they haven't seen them, 'cause I envy that first time that they watch it. I still have that feeling about The Shawshank Redemption. It's one of those films that you just want to watch somebody's face in the third act.
Karen Gillan: The Shining is probably my favorite film of all time. I love that film. I'm a Stanley Kubrick fan. It's just so terrifying and brilliant, with its exploration into this man's descent into madness. I know that Stephen King wasn't the biggest fan of the movie adaptation, but I am!
Annalise Basso: The Green Mile.
Mia Sara: Probably Stand by Me, because it's great.
Matthew Lillard: I'd go with Shawshank. The Shawshank Redemption is one of the best movies ever made. And then, the first book I ever read for my own pleasure was Christine. So, it's a toss-up between those two.
Kate Siegel: I love The Shawshank Redemption. I love it when Stephen King is singing about hope, and all of the ways hope can grow in the grossest of places. And The Green Mile is beautiful.
Neon
Flanagan: I'd probably go with Bobby Darin, "Mack The Knife." And I don't think it's because it expresses me — I'm not a serial killer. But that song, for whatever reason, just always gets me moving.
Hiddleston: I can think of two off the top of my head. It's not possible to listen to this song without smiling: "Volare" by the Gipsy Kings. It makes people want to dance. And the other one is an old dance track from the late '90s called "Lady" by Modjo.
Hamill: I only did one Broadway musical, and I learned, these people are the hardest working people in show business. They act, they sing, they dance. They sent me to dance class six weeks before rehearsal for a turn-of-the-century musical where I had to learn clog dancing and so forth. I was very proud of myself. I would have to pick something from The Music Man. I love "Ya Got Trouble (In River City)" — I thought that was a fantastic number. It'd have to be something that a layman could learn in an afternoon.
Pajak: I'd probably say "Stayin' Alive." That's the first thing that comes into my head. I feel like that just has so much energy, and people would recognize that song and start dancing with me. If I'm the only one dancing, I would completely be embarrassed in 10 seconds.
Ejiofor: I'd probably go for some sort of early song, like "All Night Long." Just give me Lionel Richie and just go for it.
Gillan: Go-to song of expression? "No Regrets" by Édith Piaf, and I'm going to be dancing hard to that. Hard.
Basso: I'm so overwhelmed, I'm short-circuiting! Dance for me is so in the moment, that when I dance it feels like the music is a character. Although you can dance on your own, this is why I love flamenco so much, because the shoes are an instrument and you can carry that wherever you go and you can make your own music.
Sara: Prince, "Kiss." That's my favorite song! My husband and I had just been to a huge family wedding, and that's the song we like to dance to.
Lillard: "Give It to Me Baby" by Rick James. I did a movie called She's All That, and "Give It to Me Baby" was the song, so I'd probably just pull it back from the classic.
Siegel: Oh, what a great question! The one that comes to mind is "High Hopes" by Panic! At the Disco. A lot of my heart is maudlin, so I might do "Moon River" and just hobble about.
Neon
Ejiofor: I thought it was just so richly conceived. It's sometimes difficult when you don't know when a story is going, and then you do, and you think, "How did that plane land for me? How did that all work?" Because it's kind of a big concept. And I just felt like there was just a real ease to this, it fit it into place, and it made sense. It felt profound in exactly the right way, and satisfying narratively.
Gillan: I just found it so profound and moving, and it really made me go away and question how I'm living my own life and spending the precious time that I have. And those are really valuable questions to ask yourself. I really wanted to be a part of something that can maybe spark that conversation.
Basso: I always ask myself at the end of a script, or at the end of completing a project, what did I learn from this? That's what my dad taught me. He's like, "Learn as much from your wins as you do from your losses." With this, at the end of reading the script, I was like, "What brings me joy?" And it just brought me closer to that.
Sara: I cried, and then I called Mike, and I cried on the phone with Mike, and I said, "That's so beautiful."
Lillard: The funny thing is, as you were reading it, 'cause it's backwards, it doesn't really have the impact, which really speaks to the power of Mike Flanagan. We were in Toronto and won the Audience Award — a hugely prestigious award, and we were very honored to win it — but sitting in that theater with 2,000 people, I'll never forget it goes to black to transition to the second act, and you could hear a pin drop in that theater. The power of that beat was such that it took everyone's breath away, and that was really the first time I knew we were in for something special.
Siegel: It made me feel human. Right now, it's very hard to feel your humanity, because we're being inundated with a lot of information all the time that is in extremes. It's very overwhelming, and there was something about this script that allowed everything to feel like it's people. And yes, there are rights and wrongs, and there is good and bad in the world, but also there's you, and you get to be a person, too. You deserve that.
The Life of Chuck arrives in theaters on June 6. It will be eligible at the 2026 Oscars.

Ryan Gosling's ‘Star Wars: Starfighter': Everything to know as Mia Goth takes on the Mikey Madison role
This is as close as we're going to get a Barbie-MaXXXine crossover. Mia Goth is joining the new Ryan Gosling-powered Star Wars installment, Starfighter, taking over the role originally offered Anora Oscar winner Mikey Madison. The casting coup is the latest scrap of news about the anticipated project, which will be helmed by Shawn Levy and which had its coming-out party at Star Wars Celebration in April 2025. Here's everything we know so far about Star Wars: Starfighter. More from GoldDerby Danya Taymor could make Tony Awards history with a win for 'John Proctor Is the Villain' How 'Severance' creates Lumon's 'manufactured perfection' through VFX 'Say Nothing' star Anthony Boyle on playing IRA activist Brendan Hughes: We 'get to the humanity as opposed to the mythology' The are scant details about the plot, other than it is a one-off installment that involves Ryan Gosling's character and his young companion being pursued by villainous forces. Levy says that Starfighter will cover new territory in franchise storytelling and won't feature any of the major characters from prior releases. 'This is a standalone. It's not a prequel, not sequel. It's a new adventure. It's set in a period of time that we haven't seen explored yet,' the filmmaker said. 'The reality is that this script is just so good. It has such a great story with great and original characters,' said Gosling. 'It's filled with so much heart and adventure, and there just really is not a more perfect filmmaker for this particular story than Shawn.' Starfighter the movie is not related to the 2001 video game of the same name from LucasArts that was set on the planet of Naboo during the time period of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Starfighter takes place about five years after the events of the last Star Wars feature, 2019's Rise of Skywalker. READ: Levy, a four-time Emmy nominee for Stranger Things and whose credits also include Deadpool & Wolverine, Free Guy and Night at the Museum, has been developing the project for the past three years with screenwriter Jonathan Tropper. The two previously collaborated on The Adam Project and This Is Where I Leave You. Gosling, a three-time Oscar nominee, was formally introduced as the lead at Star Wars Celebration after weeks of speculation. "That rumor is true," Levy said as he brought out his star to the stage to massive cheers. "The rumors are true." According to Variety, Mikey Madison was initially offered the female lead one of the baddies hunting down Gosling and his young sidekick. Madion reportedly turned down the role due to a pay dispute. It was confirmed that Mia Goth had accepted the role in June 2025. The news was initially reported by The InSneider. No other casting has been announced. Starfighter is slated to begin production in fall 2025 in England. Starfighter is scheduled to open May 28, 2027.

‘Deliciously at odds': Zachary Quinto on embodying the brilliant yet flawed Dr. Oliver Wolf in ‘Brilliant Minds'
Although there's no shortage of medical dramas on the air, Brilliant Minds sets itself apart by taking its inspiration from Oliver Sacks, the famed neurologist whose groundbreaking work was previously dramatized in the film Awakenings. Zachary Quinto jumped at the opportunity to play a version of Sacks, who is "an endlessly fascinating and influential presence in both the world of medicine and literature." That, combined with the creative team behind the show, created "an alchemy to the whole package that felt undeniable to me." Quinto plays Dr. Oliver Wolf, a socially awkward yet exceptional neurologist who utilizes unconventional techniques to treat his patients. Although Robin Williams got the opportunity to work closely with Sacks during the production of Awakenings, Quinto was unable to do the same, since Sacks died in 2015. Yet as Quinto tells Gold Derby, "there's a really unique aspect of this experience," which is that while this is inspired by a real person, "we're also creating a character who is fictional, and exists in a different time and in a different environment than the one in which the real life Oliver Sacks lived and worked. So it was kind of the best of both worlds for me as an actor, because I certainly was able to dive into copious amounts of his writing," as well as "endless interviews with him," while still making it his own. More from GoldDerby Ryan Gosling's 'Star Wars: Starfighter': Everything to know as Mia Goth takes on the Mikey Madison role Olivia Williams was more than happy to be 'the wise old bird' on the 'Dune: Prophecy' set 'Forever' star Lovie Simone on traveling back to a 'nostalgic' time for Netflix's teenage romance show Dr. Oliver Wolf is, as Quinto describes him, "an often misunderstood but incredibly well-meaning person. I don't think he always has the capacity to articulate or communicate as smoothly as maybe he would like to. There's something really special about embodying that. I really found that endearing and appealing about the character. At his core, he is an incredibly brilliant, dedicated, empathetic, and driven doctor, and his main thrust and motivation is really caring for his patients as fully and as generously as he can. There was something about the blending of those two qualities that was deliciously at odds. Those aren't two qualities that necessarily go hand-in-hand, and I love that about him. He's clumsy sometimes. He doesn't suffer fools. He's not interested in listening to differing perspectives. He believes what he believes," which is "every patient he treats deserves respect and dignity, and to be seen." Brendan Meadows/NBC Part of Quinto's job is making sense of the medical lingo his character rattles off as if it's second nature. Unlike other medical dramas, "You're not dramatizing gunshot wounds or heart attacks. It's all neurological cases, so it really is about delving into the mind." So, the question is, "How do I make this dialogue accessible and interesting, and humanize it and invite audiences into it?" It helps that the scripts by creator Michael Grassi and his team feature the input of on-staff medical consultants. "We all have to portray characters for whom this language is everyday jargon, and it's something that we have to be able to pass off as believable, even if the audience isn't meant to know exactly what it means because we're in the process of explaining it to them. We have to come from a place where the characters know exactly what these words mean, and that is always an interesting challenge, but it's a challenge that I really relish." Added into that are the various medical ailments that Dr. Wolf and his team of interns have to deal with week-to-week. "I can't tell you how many times I thought, 'Well, this can't be real,'" says Quinto of the scripts he received. "But then we get directed to the chapter of An Anthropologist on Mars or The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat," both books written by Sacks which served as inspiration for the series, "where he chronicled the real life parallel case." All of the cases and conditions dramatized in the show were taken from real life, some of which were treated by Dr. Sacks, and some of which "are adjacent to, or inspired by, those cases. I often felt really challenged in the many, many ways in which our brains and our minds can go astray, and the impacts of that which these patients experience." Among the most surprising patient arcs portrayed in the first season is that of a comatose John Doe who is given the ability to communicate thanks to a revolutionary brain computer. In the show's seventh episode, "The Man From Grozny," we learn that he came to American from Chechnya to flee oppression for being gay, and having told his story, he makes a surprising request for the remainder of his care. "To me, that storyline and the way that it resolved, which was not at all how I expected it to resolve when it was introduced to me as a multi-episode arc, was, I think, the most impactful personally for me," Quinto reveals, as well as "the most impactful in a lot of ways for the audience as the season unfolded." Quinto earned an Emmy nomination in 2013 for American Horror Story: Asylum, and since then has worked mostly in film and theater with occasional stints on television. As Brilliant Minds heads into its second season, he's found a renewed appreciation for "that kind of serialized storytelling that I've been away from for a long time, and I'm actually really grateful to be back to" for the first time since Heroes. "To now be involved in an ongoing series playing the same character who's going through a number of different circumstances and situations is something that I really welcome, and it's been really fulfilling for me creatively."

Final 2025 Tony Awards winner odds in all 26 categories, including last-minute Best Actress in a Musical flip to Audra McDonald
After five weeks of furious debate since Tony Award nominations were announced, over 1,000 people have made their winner predictions at Gold Derby. New musical Maybe Happy Ending will lead all productions with six victories, while smash comedy Oh, Mary! will win the most trophies of any play with five. Buena Vista Social Club, Sunset Boulevard, and Stranger Things: The First Shadow will all claim multiple prizes, too. The category with the most fluctuation in our odds heading into the Tony ceremony is the highly coveted trophy for Best Actress in a Musical. Six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald had been leading our odds for her performance in Gypsy since the nominations were announced, until Sunset Boulevard's Nicole Scherzinger took the lead for the first time last week. But on Thursday, McDonald pulled ahead again, buoyed by her recent victory at the Drama Desk Awards and various Tony voter surveys noting that she has a narrow advantage, likely due to the Patti LuPone controversy.
