Stephen King Life of Chuck Never Flinch.

So vividly drawn is Stephen King’s fiction that it’s offered the basis for some 50 feature films. For half a century, since Brian De Palma’s 1976 film “Carrie,” Hollywood has turned, and turned again, to King’s books for their richness of character, nightmare and sheer entertainment. Over time, King has developed a personal policy in how he talks about the adaptations of his books: Keep your mouth shut unless you have something nice to say. But King is such a fan of “The Life of Chuck,” Mike Flanagan’s new adaptation of King’s novella of the same name, that he’s supporting it in ways the author never has before.
