“It’s sad, has a touch of the paranormal, but it’s also joyful and life-affirming,” said King. “Maybe not what you’d expect from me, but there ya go.”

It’s not such a surprise if you’ve read the story – a novella in King’s If It Bleeds collection – which follows a man whose world falls apart when he starts to see the same mysterious image of a man called Chuck popping up everywhere.

Tom Hiddleston, Karen Gillan, and Mark Hamill star in the adaptation, which will like have Being John Malkovich surreal mystery vibes.

The Life of Chuck‘s release date is TBC.
