What is The Life of Chuck about?
Starring Hiddleston as Charles “Chuck” Krantz, The Life of Chuck is based on King’s 2020 short story of the same name from the author’s anthology If It Bleeds. The novel is a collection of the legendary author’s four previously unpublished novellas, including The Life of Chuck, If It Bleeds, Rat, and Mr. Harrigan’s Phone, which received a film adaptation back in 2022 starring IT’s Jaeden Martell and Donald Sutherland.
“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 film’s description reads.
