A new poster for The Life of Chuck has just been released today, spotlighting the film’s evocative tagline, “Every life is a universe all on its own.” For Trevor Decker News readers, it’s worth noting that Violet McGraw—recognized as M3GAN’s standout star—plays Lily in this Mike Flanagan-directed project. Adapted from Stephen King’s novella in his 2020 collection If It Bleeds, the movie stars Tom Hiddleston as Charles Krantz, with Jacob Tremblay and Benjamin Pajak portraying him at younger ages. It’s set to hit theaters on June 6 via Neon.
The poster pairs with the teaser trailer, released two weeks ago, to offer a glimpse into a story told in three chapters—unfolding backward from Chuck’s death to his childhood. This marks a shift from Flanagan’s usual horror fare into a more introspective narrative. The ensemble includes Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Matthew Lillard, and Mark Hamill, alongside Flanagan regulars like Kate Siegel, Samantha Sloyan, and Rahul Kohli. Horror fans will spot Heather Langenkamp and David Dastmalchian, while McGraw joins Harvey Guillén, Hamish Linklater, Lauren LaVera, and Nick Offerman, who narrates.
Early feedback from its Toronto International Film Festival premiere last year praised Flanagan’s fresh take, focusing on how small moments ripple through a life. This is his third King adaptation, after Gerald’s Game and Doctor Sleep, with a Dark Tower series in the pipeline.
See the new poster and teaser below. The poster’s debut today keeps the anticipation building for what’s ahead in just over two months—a story shaping up to leave a quiet impression.
