The Life of Chuck

The Life of Chuck is slated for theatrical release in June 2025 - with early critics celebrating Benjamins performance as “…by far the standout…”(Alex Hudson). After winning The People’s Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF), we look forward to the release of this life-affirming, genre-bending story, based on Stephen King’s novella. Directed by  Mike Flanagan, starring Tom Hiddleston and Mark Hamill.

The Life of Chuck follows three separate stories linked to tell the biography of Charles Krantz in reverse, beginning with his death from a brain tumor at 39 and ending with his childhood in a supposedly haunted house.

Benjamin plays Young Chuck, grandson to Mark Hamill, Albie. The movie stars Tom Hiddleston as Chuck, and Jacob Tremblay as Teen Chuck, as well many other well known and highly respected actors. 

Who is Chuck? 

From the minds and hearts of
Mike Flanagan and Stephen King. 

THE LIFE OF CHUCK.

In theaters June.
