In the United Kingdom, it is now possible for moviegoers to catch Tom Hiddleston’s fantasy drama titled “The Life of Chuck” on the big screen.

In this adaptation based on Stephen King’s work, the life story of the main character, portrayed by the actor known for his role in Loki, is narrated. However, instead of following a chronological timeline, the narrative starts from the man’s tragic death at age 39 and then moves back to his childhood.

Movie enthusiasts in the U.K. can finally watch the film starting from today, as it has been released in British cinemas, several months following its premiere in the United States.
