Tom Hiddleston's fantasy drama The Life of Chuck has finally become available to watch in UK cinemas.
The Stephen King adaptation tells the life story of the titular "ordinary man" character (played by the Loki star), though takes a reverse order approach from his tragic death aged 39 to his childhood.
Fans in Britain wanting to catch the movie can now do so as of today, as it is now out in UK cinemas a few months after its US release.
Hiddleston appears alongside a star-studded cast, which includes Karen Gillan, Mark Hamill, Jacob Tremblay, Chiwetel Eijofor, Matthew Lillard, Carl Lumbly, Kate Siegel, David Dastmalchian, Harvey Guillén, Nick Offerman and Rahul Kohli.
The Life of Chuck comes from The Haunting of Hill House's Mike Flanagan, who has previously adapted King works such as Doctor Sleep and Gerald's Game.

The movie has largely drawn acclaim and sits at an 80% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes, with TheWrap calling it "transcendentally stunning" and "one of the best modern Stephen King adaptations one could hope for".
The Indian Express suggested it was "a near-faithful cinematic adaptation which aims at giving us the warm fuzzies-in-this-dark-and-dismal-world, and succeeds, more or less", while Mashable named it "a perfect marriage of Mike Flanagan and Stephen King's talents, but not in the way you might expect".
However, not all critics were fans, with The Guardian proposing that "life is full of meaning but The Life of Chuck struggles to find any".
The movie first premiered nearly a year ago at the Toronto Film Festival, where it took home the coveted People's Choice Award – a prize previously won by the likes of American Fiction, The Fabelmans, Nomadland and Jojo Rabbit.
The Life of Chuck is out now in UK cinemas.
