‘The Life Of Chuck’: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan & Jacob Tremblay Join Stephen King Adaptation From Mike Flanagan And Trevor Macy’s Intrepid Pictures
Chiwetel Ejiofor (Rob Peace), Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3) and Jacob Tremblay (The Toxic Avenger) have joined the cast of The Life of Chuck, the latest of many Stephen King adaptations from filmmaker Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep), which kicked off production in Alabama under an interim agreement earlier this month. Tom Hiddleston and Mark Hamill lead the ensemble of the pic, written and directed by Flanagan, as we were first to tell you.
Also now involved is QWGmire, the production and financing entity known for the indie horror Agnes and the forthcoming Lovely, Dark and Deep, which has made a major equity investment in the independently financed feature.
Stated QWGmire partners Molly C. Quinn, Matthew M. Welty and Elan Gale, “We are thrilled to partner with Mike and Trevor [Macy] on this project. Mike is a master storyteller and we can’t wait to bring his inspirational adaptation of Stephen King’s short story to audiences.”
Based on three interconnected stories from King’s 2020 anthology If It Bleeds, The Life of Chuck examines the existence of its subject Charles Krantz in reverse, beginning with his death aged 39 from a brain tumor and ending with his childhood in a house believed to be haunted. Flanagan is set to produce the feature adaptation alongside his long-time Intrepid Pictures partner, Macy. WME Independent is repping domestic sales, with FilmNation Entertainment overseeing the international front.
Best known for his Academy Award-nominated role in 12 Years a Slave, Ejiofor’s recent credits include the Showtime sci-fi drama series The Man Who Fell to Earth, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and the Sundance-opening sci-fi rom-com The Pod Generation with Emilia Clarke. Starring alongside Camila Cabello, Michael Kelly and more in Rob Peace, his sophomore feature on the heels of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, he’ll also soon be seen in Netflix’s The Old Guard 2 and a Venom threequel from Sony.
Gillan over the summer closed out her run as Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Nebula in the James Gunn-helmed Vol. 3, which grossed over $845M worldwide. Other recent credits for the actress include The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, Thor: Love and Thunder and the Mali Elfman-helmed indie genre-bender Next Exit. She’ll next be seen in the Lisa Steen comedy Late Bloomers, which world premiered at SXSW earlier this year, and also stars up opposite Russell Crowe in the forthcoming crime thriller Sleeping Dogs.
Doctor Who is coming back!
We don’t know exactly when the specials are coming out this year, but we do know they come back for the 60th anniversary in November.
So what’s a fan to do? Why, write a genuinely shocking amount of blog posts counting us down, of course! What’s even worse is I wrote most of these in one month, because I am obsessed with this show. I’m hoping to have these posted…

So, is Jeffrey Wright like the new Morgan Freeman? You can get the man to read a phonebook (do those still exist?!) and it would sound soothing and delightful.
Plot: The second season of the American animated anthology series What If...?, based on the Marvel Comics series of the same name, explores alternate timelines in the multiverse that show what would happen if major moments from the films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe occurred differently.
I enjoyed the first season. That being said you could tell from the get-go Marvel did not really know what to do with the premise, as the episodes of the first season were mostly animated summaries of the previous MCU films, with a detail or two changed to justify The Watcher’s presence. Fortunately, it looks like the team behind the show has gotten the hang of it for the second installment, with the new season of the series showcasing a much needed improvement when it comes to multiversal exploration.
This second time around the show seems to take a different approach, by opting for combining the premise of two seemingly unrelated MCU movies to create new stories. Such as an episode that merges together characters and elements of Thor and Thor: Ragnarok with the setting of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Or not even limiting itself to the MCU, in the case of the season premiere, sticking Nebula into Blade Runner. Yep, I know the setting is Xandar, but, like, c’mon - it’s Blade Runner MCU Edition. And this new strategy has allowed What If…? to deliver better episodes this time around.
What I really enjoyed about this season was that it has something that the current MCU live-action stuff really lacks - being fun and different. The movies and Disney+ shows have all become so one-note and limited in trying to take any risks, whilst this show basically allows us to see the MCU through different genres and perspectives. This season you get to enjoy an Iron Man 2-era Die Hard spoof and a Marvel flavoured Death Race/Ben-Hur, both of which were awesome, and then there’s the unique Kahhori episode where Marvel introduces its first indigenous superhero - a Mohawk woman who is empowered by the Tesseract Captain Marvel-style. It’s all fun stuff and it’s nice seeing the MCU not take itself too seriously and allow itself to relax and simply enjoy the madness so to speak.
In terms of negatives - I really do love the show’s animation style, when it’s showcasing people fighting one another. That stuff looks really cool, however it does get a tad horrid for when people are just talking, as it looks weird. Also, the Captain Carter character. What If…? is at its best when it goes random, so it is a little frustrating and repetitive when they keep shoehorning this one multiverse character into everything. Captain Carter appears in 3 episodes this season, and she’s an okay character, but she’s nowhere as interesting and engaging as the show makes her out to be and as such I found her inclusion tiring, no matter how likeable Hayley Atwell’s voice acting is. Even her own standalone episode this season about fighting the Hydra Stomper was just a rehash of Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Black Widow but less compelling. As for the rest of the voice cast, a lot of the live-action cast members return to voice their characters, and as such you can tell some of them aren’t as comfortable in the voice acting booth, however this season’s stand-outs were Cate Blanchett, Devery Jacobs, Karen Gillan, Jeff Goldblum and of course Jeffrey Wright - gosh darn it his voice is wonderful!
Overall I believe I enjoyed this season more than the first, as the show seems to be really finding its own groove, so I am looking forward to seeing what kind of craziness they’ve cooked up for the already confirmed upcoming season 3, and hearing more of Mr Wright saying those two special words… “what if?”
in frustration and futility i have given up trying to add muses to my carrd. so i'm instead making this list which is easily editable and expandable. so i apologise for being obnoxious but <3 'tis what it 'tis.

*the muses asterisked technically cross two categories as both mythological muses and muses who are in other media such as literature or games. but they are chiefly based in their media; the hades games by supergiant.
**mythological muses are complicated for me, i write them based on personal hcs / popular media that i've formed attachments to. as such they tend to be a conglomerate hybrid of these medias along with the original myths.
I've been on tumblr for ten years now. It's a long time! I've posted a lot of female celebrities in that long time, so let's have a look back at who I've posted most often. Please remember that I only post people when I have new images of them, so there are some girls who I like a lot but haven't been able to post as often as I would have liked to. And some haven't been on the list for as many years as others. But if I've posted someone like thirty times or whatever it's fair to say they're one of my favourites! So here it is, the big list of everyone I've posted five times or more. (I left Elliot Page on because I posted him a lot back in the day and didn't want to pretend otherwise.)
