“We’re creeping up little by little on being the one country who does not acknowledge it’s a real problem with carbon in the atmosphere,” King says. “That’s crazy. Certain right wing politicians can talk all they want about how we’re saving the world for our grandchildren. They don’t care about that. They care about money.”On social media, King has been a sometimes critic of President Donald Trump, whose second term has included battles with the arts, academia and

Over the next four years, King predicts, “Culture is going to go underground.”In “Never Flinch,” Holly Gibney is hired as a bodyguard by a women’s rights activist whose lecture tour is being plagued by mysterious acts of violence. In the afterward of the book, King includes a tribute to “supporters of women’s right to choose who have been murdered for doing their duty.” “I’m sure they’re not going to like that,” King says of right-wing critics.The original germ for “The Life of Chuck” had nothing to do with current events. One day in Boston, King noticed a drummer busking on Boylston Street. He had the vision of a businessman in a suit who, walking by, can’t resist dancing with abandon to the drummer’s beat.

King, a self-acknowledged dancer (though only in private, he notes), latched onto a story that would turn on the unpredictable nature of people, tracing the inner life of that imagined passerby. In the film, he’s played by Tom Hiddleston. Chuck first appears, oddly, on a billboard that haunts and confuses a local teacher (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who’s struggling to get his students to care about literature or education with the possible end of the world encroaching.Mike Flanagan, second from right, writer/director of “The Life of Chuck,” poses with cast members, from left, Annalise Basso, Tom Hiddleston and Carl Lumbly at the premiere of the film on Monday, June 2, 2025, at Hollywood Legion Theater in Los Angeles.

It’s a funny but maybe not coincidental irony that many of the best King adaptations, like “Stand By Me” and “The Shawshank Redemption,” have come from the author’s more warm-hearted tales. “The Life of Chuck,” which won the People’s Choice Award last fall at the Toronto International Film Festival, is after a similar spirit.And yet in this doomsday tale, King is at his most sincere. “The Life of Chuck,” the book and the movie, is about what matters in life when everything else is lost. There is dancing, Walt Whitman and joy.

“In ‘The Life of Chuck,’ we understand that this guy’s life is cut short, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t experience joy,” says King. “Existential dread and grief and things are part of the human experience, but so is joy.”It’s telling that when King, our preeminent purveyor of horror, writes about doom times, he ends up scaling it down to a single life. While darkness and doom have, and probably always will, mark his work, King — a more playful, instinctual, genre-skipping writer than he’s often credited as — “The Life of Chuck” is a prime example of King, the humanist.

“An awful lot of people assume, because he writes so much stuff that’s so scary, they kind of forget the reason his horror works so well is he’s always juxtaposing it with light and with love and with empathy,” says Flanagan, who has twice before adapted King (“Doctor Sleep,” “Gerald’s Game”) and is in the midst of making a “Carrie” series for Amazon.This image released by Neon shows Annalise Basso, left, and Tom Hiddleston in a scene from “The Life of Chuck.” (Neon via AP)
