A Stephen King adaptation filmed in Alabama has been getting mixed but generally positive reviews since its recent film-festival debut. Filming for “The Life of Chuck” took place in late 2023 at locations including downtown Mobile and a closed Bay Minette school campus. At the end of filming, director and co-writer Mike Flanagan expressed gratitude to Foley, Fairhope, Daphne, Spanish Fort, Bay Minette and Mobile for their hospitality as a “small but fierce” crew worked on his “tenacious little miracle of a movie.”
