More specifically, NEON has confirmed that the flick will land in cinemas on May 30 – a whopping six years after Flanagan’s last featureDoctor Sleep.

Having passed away from a brain tumor at 39, Chuck walks back through major events, before finding himself once again living in a supposedly haunted house. (Well, it wouldn’t be a Flanagan flick without some ghosties now, would it?)

The film also stars Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy), David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil), Chiwetel Ejifor (Doctor Strange), Mia Sara (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off), Q’orianka Kilcher (Yellowstone), Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows), and Mark Hamill, who collaborated with Flanagan for the first time onThe Fall of the House of Usher. Other members of the Flanafamily appearing in the movie include Kate Siegel, Samantha Sloyan, Rahul Kohli, and Jacob Tremblay.

Many have been desperate to see the movie won the Audience Award at TIFF earlier this year, and bagged an 85% score on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.
