Filmmaker Mike Flanagan’s (“Fall of the House of Usher”) love of Stephen King adaptations will continue with “The Life of Chuck,” which has just wrapped production. When Flanagan announced on X (formally Twitter) he also assured audiences that this would NOT be a horror movie.

While the piece is still pending authentication, it’s believed to be a prototype developed in 1964. This model helped develop the look of the groundbreaking sci-fi series, and it was used on screen several times during the original run of the show.  Until approximately 1977, “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry had possession of the Starship Enterprise model. The piece was loaned out for “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” and it has been missing ever since. Rod Roddenberry, son of true Trek royalty…
