Mike Flanagan offers update on Stephen King movie, as one of its stars describes it as "heartbreaking" and "beautiful"

David Dastmalchian as Jack Delroy in Late Night with the Devil.

Mike Flanagan has confirmed that he's completed post-production on his upcoming movie The Life of Chuck, as one of its stars, David Dastmalchian, has shared his early reaction to the star-studded sci-fi drama. The filmmaker shared the good news in the comments section on his review of The First Omen on Letterboxd.

Based on Stephen King's novella of the same name, which features in the author's If It Bleeds collection (along with Mr. Harrigan's Phone, which inspired the 2022 Netflix adaptation), it's set to follow the titular Charles 'Chuck' Krantz (Loki's Tom Hiddleston) as he travels back in time to watch his life play out in reverse order after he dies. Having passed away from a brain tumor at 39, Chuck walks back through major events, before finding himself once again living in a supposedly haunted house. (Well, it wouldn't be a Flanagan flick without some ghosties now, would it?)
