The Life of Chuck release date window has been set, with Neon announcing they have acquired the film while also setting the film’s release.
When is The Life of Chuck release date window?
The film, which took home the Audience Prize at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, is coming out in the summer of 2025. Neon has distributed countless high-profile films, including notable projects like Parasite, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Anatomy of a Fall, Longlegs, and the upcoming Anora.
“This film is based on the novella that is presented in reverse order,” the description of the movie reads. “Chuck travels backwards in time viewing his life after dying. In viewing past events, he becomes obsessed with a former student that might have a special gift.”
The movie is based on a Stephen King novella of the same name, which is found in his 2020 collection If It Bleeds. The adaptation is written and directed by Mike Flanagan, and features an all-star ensemble cast, including Tom Hiddleston, Nick Offerman, Mark Hamill, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Jacob Tremblay, Mia Sara, Q’orianka Kilcher, Matthew Lillard, Harvey Guillén, Kate Siegel, David Dastmalchian, Carl Lumbly, Rahul Kohli, Violet McGraw, Molly Quinn, and Heather Lagenkamp.
Hiddleston and Flanagan confirmed that the middle of The Life of Chuck will feature an elaborate dance number performed by Hiddleston.
“I had to learn in six weeks the full regime of any dance training,” Hiddleston said. “We did jazz, swing, salsa, cha-cha, the Charleston, bossa nova, polka, quickstep, samba. We were trying to tip our hat to anything that might have influenced Chuck. It might’ve had a bit of Gene Kelly or Fred and Ginger. Certainly moonwalking—Stephen King is very specific about the moonwalk.”
