According to Gulf Coast Media, Mike Flanagan will be filming an Stephen King adaptation starting in mid-October. Filming in various locations around Mobile and Baldwin Counties, The Life of Chuck is expected to take a month to film.

Stephen King’s 2020 release, The Life of Chuck, is a part of the If It Bleeds collection. Keeping in classic King style, this story is a spooky one:

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

Mike Flanagan’s filmmaking career has already included two Stephen King movies, Gerald’s Game (2018) and Doctor Sleep (2019). He’s won dozens of awards and been nominated for dozens of others.

Extras needed for the filming in Mobile + Baldwin Counties

To film The Life of Chuck, Flanagan needs some help—which means it’s your chance to be an extra in a Stephen King. According to Gulf Coast Media, they need 1,000 extras (11+ years of age) for filming.
