‘The Life of Chuck’ Sells to Neon After Winning TIFF’s Audience Award (EXCLUSIVE)


“The Life of Chuck" has sold after winning Toronto Film Festival's prestigious people's choice award.

Billed as a “life-affirming” story about an ordinary man named Charles Krantz, the film is split into three distinct chapters that unfurl in reverse chronological order and set against the backdrop of a world that appears to be slowly crumbling. Mark Hamill, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, and Jacob Tremblay co-star in “The Life of Chuck,” which has been compared to King adaptations like “Shawshank Redemption” and “Stand By Me” rather than “It” or “Pet Sematary.” So Hiddleston, who plays the inhibited accountant whose life is shrouded in mystery, endured a six-week crash course to learn everything from jazz, swing, polka, samba and cha-cha to quickstep and moonwalk.
