Ahead of its theatrical release on June 6, NEON has debuted the new teaser trailer for Mike Flanagan's upcoming genre-bending drama, The Life of Chuck.

In the adaptation of Stephen King's 2020 novella of the same name, Tom Hiddleston, Jacob Tremblay and Benjamin Pajak all star as the titular character at different stages of life:

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

Starring alongside Hiddleston, Tremblay and Pajak is a stacked cast including Mark Hamill, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Matthew Lillard, Carl Lumbly, Samantha Sloyan, Harvey Guillén, Kate Siegel, Annalise Basso, Mia Sara, David Dastmalchian, Heather Langenkamp, Rahul Kohli, Matt Biedel, Sauriyan Sapkota, Saidah Arrika Ekulona, Michael Trucco, Violet McGraw and Molly C. Quinn. Nick Offerman plays the part of the Narrator.

Today's new trailer makes The Life of Chuck look like it's going to be another heartstring-tugging Flanagan hit, combining style and melancholy in the way that only the The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass director can. Check it out below and make sure to catch The Life of Chuck in theaters on June 6.
