The Life of Chuck was published as one of the stories from King’s collection If It Bleeds, and it already produced one successful adaptation: Mr. Harrigan’s Phone. It’s now time for The Life of Chuck to get the Hollywood treatment, with Mike Flanagan (Gerald’s Game, Doctor Sleep) set to write and direct it.

This genre-bending story consisted of three interconnected acts, chronicling the life of an ordinary man Charles Krantz. The story kicked off with his death from a brain tumor at 39, and it was told in reverse, ending with his childhood in a house believed to be haunted.

When this project was initially announced, Tom Hiddleston and Mark Hamill were set to lead it, and they’ll now be joined by Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave), Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Jacob Tremblay (Room).

The Life of Chuck started filming under an interim agreement in Alabama earlier this month, and its release date is yet to be announced.

The production on Venom 3 kicked off in February, and its cast is shaping up to be pretty impressive. In addition to Tom Hardy in the titular role, the film will also star Ted Lasso’s June Temple, while Kelly Marcel is on board to direct, taking over from Andy Serkis. She co-wrote the story alongside Hardy, and this will mark her directorial debut.

The identity of Ejiofor’s character remains a mystery, but some fans are speculating he could reprise his Doctor Strange character Karl Mordo. It’s a far-fetched theory, but everything is possible after Disney acquired Sony and started exploring the idea of the multiverse.

Ejiofor appeared in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness just last year, and we’ll soon get to see him in The Pod Generation and The Old Guard 2. He’s also been making a shift to directing in recent years, and he’s currently working on his second feature film as a director, the biopic Rob Peace, in which he’ll also star alongside Jay Will, Camila Cabello, and Mary J. Blige.

This film is based on Jeff Hobbs’ bestselling biography The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace: A Brilliant Young Man Who Left Newark for the Ivy League. It centers on Robert Peace, a young man who graduated from Yale after growing up in a crime-ridden section of Newark, New Jersey. He led a dual life and never managed to leave the world of crime behind, which eventually cost him his life.

Rob Peace will be led by Jay Will, best known as the star of Tulsa King. Mary J. Blige and Chiwetel Ejiofor will play his mother and father, while Cabello will join the project in the role of Peace’s fellow Yale student Naya.

Cabello is best known as a chart-topping recording artist, who has several Latin Grammy Awards and American Music Awards under her belt. Rob Peace will mark her second attempt at acting, following Amazon’s musical Cinderella from 2021. Her acting debut was met with mixed reviews, but that didn’t stop it from becoming the most-watched movie musical of 2021 on Amazon.

In the trailer, we are introduced to London-based couple Linda (Hathaway) and Paxton (Ejiofor), who is planning to break up before the COVID-19 lockdown, but are forced into quarantine for two weeks. While figuring out their living situation and their relationship status, the couple faces challenges in their professional life, which results in them deciding to plan a quarantine jewelry heist.

“I’ve been furloughed. Now there’s literally zero purpose to my life,” Ejiofor says in the trailer. Hathaway hosts a video call where she has to lay her employees. “The nice people that I fired? They were fired because of me,” she says to Ejiofor.

Stephen Merchant, Mindy Kaling, Lucy Boynton, Dulé Hill, Jazmyn Simon, Ben Stiller, and Ben Kingsley are also in the film.

Locked Down was filmed in the U.K. from September to October under COVID-19 protocols. The script comes from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight and was produced by P.J. van Sandwijk, Alison Winter, and Michael Lesslie. AGC Studios’ Stuart Ford, Miguel Palos Jr., and Alastair Burlingham served as executive producers, with Liman and Knight.

The film will debut on HBO Max on January 14. Watch the trailer below.
