Stephen King’s killer canine is coming again to life, with Deadline reporting this afternoon that Netflix and producer Roy Lee (IT) are growing a model new Cujo film.
The venture “will exit to writers instantly,” Deadline notes in in the present day’s report.
No different data has been introduced at the moment. Keep tuned for extra.
Stephen King’s horror novel Cujo was initially revealed in 1981, with director Lewis Teague’s traditional horror film adaptation being unleashed simply two years later in 1983. Dee Wallace, Ed Lauter, Daniel Hugh Kelly, and Danny Pintauro starred within the authentic adaptation of Cujo, whereby a pleasant St. Bernard contracts rabies and embarks on a reign of terror.
Right here’s the complete synopsis for King’s novel: “Outdoors a peaceable city in central Maine, a monster is ready. Cujo is a two-hundred-pound Saint Bernard, the very best buddy Brett Camber has ever had. Someday, Cujo chases a rabbit right into a cave inhabited by sick bats and emerges as one thing new altogether.
“In the meantime, Vic and Donna Trenton, and their younger son Tad, transfer to Maine. They’re searching for peace and quiet, however life on this small city just isn’t what it appears…
“As Tad tries to fend off the phobia that involves him at night time from his bed room closet, and as Vic and Donna face their very own nightmare of a wedding on the rocks, there is no such thing as a method they’ll know {that a} monster, infinitely sinister, waits within the daylight.”
It was introduced ten years in the past that Sunn Basic Footage was behind a brand new Cujo adaptation titled C.U.J.O. (“Canine Unit Joint Operations”), however that venture by no means acquired off the bottom.
Stephen King lately returned to the world of Cujo for a brief story sequel titled Rattlesnakes. The long-awaited follow-up story debuted in final yr’s King anthology You Like It Darker. Under you possibly can take heed to the making of the unique Cujo with The Losers’ Membership, who spoke to Dee Wallace ultimately yr’s Creep I.E. Aftermath.
