Still No Release Date, But Big Buzz

While there’s still no official trailer or release date for “The Life of Chuck,” things are heating up.

The film is gaining attention after its film festival debut, and insiders are expecting an official distributor announcement soon.

That’s when we’ll find out if it’ll be hitting theaters or going straight to streaming.

Directed by Mike Flanagan, who has a history of successful collaborations with Netflix, this movie could land on your favorite streaming platform in no time.

A Closer Look at Where It Was Filmed

In case you missed it, this movie isn’t just any Hollywood production—it’s homegrown!

Filmed in several spots around Alabama, including Mobile, Fairhope, Daphne, and Spanish Fort, the production brought a lot of business to local towns.

Dauphin Street in Mobile played a starring role, with the crew even reversing traffic to get the perfect shot.

Other filming locations include Bay Minette Elementary, Volanta Park in Fairhope, and a few private residences across the area.

If you’re familiar with these spots, you’ll probably recognize them once the movie hits the screen!

Mobile’s Star-Studded Film History

While this may feel like a big moment for Mobile, it’s far from the first time Hollywood has come calling.

Our city has been a hot spot for horror films, including Jordan Peele’s “Get Out” and several of Mike Flanagan’s previous projects.

Mobile even has roots in the “Friday the 13th” series, with Part VII being filmed here back in 1988.

With “The Life of Chuck” now joining that list, it’s safe to say that our city is carving out a place in cinematic history.

Keep an eye out for more updates on “The Life of Chuck,” and get ready to see some of your favorite local spots on the big (or small) screen soon!
