Another Stephen King story adaptation is Japanon its way, and it sounds like the author himself is a big fan of this one.

On Tuesday we got some first look images and more information about The Life of Chuck, Mike Flanagan's adaptation of the horror author's novella of the same name, courtesy of Vanity Fair.

It's not often you'd think of King adaptations and "happiness" in the same sentence, but The Life of Chuckisn't really a horror story — the novella is more of an offbeat surreal mystery in the vein of Being John Malkovich, in which a man called Marty suddenly begins seeing the same image appearing everywhere of a stranger called Chuck.

To say more would be to spoil the story, which is available in King's "If It Bleeds" collection. Tom Hiddleston, Karen Gillan, and Mark Hamill star in the adaptation. Flanagan, who wrote and directed it, has plenty of prior King form: He's previously adapted Gerald's Gameand Doctor Sleep, and is currently working on bringing The Dark Tower to the screen.
