The official teaser trailer for the highly-anticipated film adaptation of Stephen King's short story "The Life of Chuck" has finally been unveiled.
The movie is led by Marvel vet Tom Hiddleston, who is playing the titular role of Charles Krantz.
"The Life of Chuck" will hit the theaters next spring on May 30, 2025.
The movie had its world premiere last September at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, where it successfully won the People's Choice Award. Since then, the film has received positive early reactions from critics. It currently holds a Tomatometer score of 85% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The movie hails from writer-director Mike Flanagan, who had already previously adapted King's other novels into movies such as "Gerald's Game" and "Doctor Sleep".
It revolves around Hiddleston's Charles Krantz as his life story will be told into three separate parts, beginning from his death up to his childhood.
Alongside Hiddleston, the ensemble cast also includes Mark Hamill, Karen Gillan, Annalise Basso, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Carl Lumbly, Kate Siegel, Samantha Sloyan, Rahul Kohli, Violet McGraw, Heather Langenkamp, Matthew Lillard, Mia Sara, David Dastmalchian, Harvey Guillén, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, and more.
The Loki actor is also sharing his role with young actors Benjamin Pajak, Cody Flanagan, and Jacob Tremblay, who'll be playing Chuck at different stages of his life.
"The Life of Chuck" is produced by Flanagan and Trevor Macy for Intrepid Pictures.
In a previous interview, Flanagan confirmed that the movie will see some changes from the source material.
'One of the big changes we made to this story was that the people you meet at the beginning, you see them again as Chuck encounters them throughout his life, and you can see how and why he pulled them into his imagination, and how they continue to exist in his mind even after the real people have moved on, in one way or another,' he explained. 'And so that's one of the very few changes we made for the film. It seemed like a real cool opportunity to do something like that."
"The Life of Chuck" is set to release in theaters from Neon on June 6.
