Mike Flanagan reckons his new Stephen King adaptation is his best movie so far, and he's thought so since day four on set. The filmmaker, who previously helmed The Shining sequel Doctor Sleep, says he knew sci-fi horror The Life of Chuck was "magical" after filming a dance sequence with lead Tom Hiddleston.
In a new interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, Flanagan was reminded that he emailed King after reading the novella in which the film is based, and said: "If I could have a crack at this story, it might be the best movie I'll ever make." He was then asked whether he still feels that way.
