The Life of Chuck Interview: Mike Flanagan, Tom Hiddleston, Karen Gillan & Chiwetel Ejiofor
During a time when the world felt like it was closing in on us, filmmaker Mike Flanagan opened a Stephen King novella. Four years later, his feature adaptation of The Life of Chuck celebrated its world premiere at this year’s Toronto Film Festival, presenting the audience with an emotional story that marks a joyful deviation from both King and Flanagan’s horror wheelhouses.
In the film, Tom Hiddleston plays Chuck, the mysteriously normal accountant who suddenly appears everywhere. Among a cast of stellar talent — a signature Flanagan flare — Chiwetel Ejiofor plays Marty, a man perplexed by this sudden presence as the world around him begins to crumble. As the mystery unfolds, he reconnects with his ex-girlfriend, Felicia, played by Karen Gillan, as the two play a part in The Life of Chuck’s three-part tale of what it means to be human and to really, truly live. In addition to this trio, the movie also features Mark Hamill, Kate Siegel, Jacob Tremblay, Matthew Lillard, and many more.
Before the film premiered, Hiddleston, Ejiofor, Gillan, and Flanagan stopped by the Collider studio at the Cinema Center at MARBL to talk with Perri Nemiroff about their experience bringing this material to life on-screen. The writer-director discusses why this had to be made and why he believes it’s his best film yet, as well as the importance of maintaining King’s original story structure and what the movie format could bring to the narrative. The trio of stars also shares their approach to their characters, what brings them true joy in life, and how important their co-stars were to their performances.
