Mark Hamill on Stephen King, Mike Flanagan, and the Healing Power of The Life Of Chuck
Manage episode 486784514 series 2446760
Mark Hamill joins Kyle Meredith to talk about The Life of Chuck, Mike Flanagan’s latest mind-bender based on a Stephen King novella. Yes, the man who gave us Luke Skywalker and the Joker is now playing a white-haired accountant waxing poetic about math and the universe—and somehow it’s one of the most moving things you’ll see all year. Hamill dives into building the character (full Geppetto vibes), mentoring a scene-stealing kid who knits on set, and delivering a monologue so long and thoughtful he nearly begged for cue cards. He also shares what it was like working with Andy Griffith during his cranky “ratings are down” phase, and the moment young Mark’s Bill Cosby dreams were crushed like Alderaan. Somewhere between Jedi wisdom and Broadway, this is a film—and an interview—that reminds us maybe the Force is real after all.
