The Life of Chuck SPOILER Interview: Karen Gillan & Chiwetel Ejiofor on Tackling the Apocalypse
20The latest Stephen King adaptation, The Life of Chuck, opened in theaters this week, with Mike Flanagan in the director's chair. The genre-bending film follows the life of Charles "Chuck" Krantz in reverse, beginning with his death and working backwards to his childhood, exploring how his mysterious life is impacting the world on a larger, apocalyptic scale, and why. Already considered a contender for the best Stephen King adaptation to date, The Life of Chuck is unlike anything audiences have seen adapted from the author before.
At the heart of The Life of Chuck is Tom Hiddleston, who anchors the narrative with nuance as the titular character. Joining Hiddleston in the cast to portray key roles in Chuck's life are Mark Hamill, Matthew Lillard, Kate Siegel, Mia Sara, Carl Lumbly, David Dastmalchian, Rahul Kohli, Benjamin Pajak, and more. Also in the cast are Chiwetel Ejiofor and Karen Gillan, who portray Marty Anderson, a schoolteacher struggling to understand the strange events unfolding in the world around him, and Felicia Gordon, a dedicated nurse and Marty's ex-wife.
In an interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, Gillan and Ejiofor dive into their characters' backstories, sharing who Marty and Felicia were before the apocalypse began. They both also reflect on the emotional weight and process of portraying a character during the end of the world.
