In an update about his developing adaptation of The Dark Tower back in February, Mike Flanagan said that he is being patient with the project and letting the universe/industry tell him when it's time to make it. That means that fans are going to have to exhibit some patience as well – but that's going to be a whole lot easier now. Following Flanagan's work on Gerald's Game and Doctor Sleep, it's been announced that Flanagan is developing yet another King adaptation, and it already has some incredible talent attached.
According to Deadline, the writer/director is now working on a feature film version of The Life Of Chuck – which is based on the novella of the same name from the 2020 collection If It Bleeds (the same book that includes "Mr. Harrigan's Phone," which was adapted by writer/director John Lee Hancock last year). The project is going to be shopped at the upcoming Cannes market later this month, and one big selling point for it is the fact that it already has both Tom Hiddleston and Mark Hamill attached to star. Hiddleston will play the titular character while Hamill will play Albie, Chuck's grandfather who raised him after the death of his parents at a young age.
