In the latest wave of "here comes another Stephen King movie" news, Netflix is gearing up to unleash a new adaptation of the chilling tale, Cujo. According to Deadline, Vertigo Entertainment founder and producer Roy Lee is on board to produce this reimagining. However, the project is still in its early stages, with no writers, directors, or cast members attached yet.
Originally published in 1981, Stephen King's novel Cujo was swiftly adapted into a 1983 cult classic horror film by Don Carlos Dunaway and Barbara Turner, directed by Lewis Teague. The gripping story centers on a determined mother, portrayed by Dee Wallace, who battles to protect her young son from a rabid dog. Trapped in a car with a broken engine, the duo faces a harrowing fight for survival against Cujo, a once-gentle dog turned deadly after being bitten by a rabid bat, as they also contend with the threat of heatstroke.

Cujo is just one of many Stephen King stories that have successfully transitioned to the big screen over the years. Recently, there's been a notable resurgence in King adaptations. Oz Perkins’ take on King’s short story The Monkey was released in February, and fans can look forward to more this year, including Glen Powell's version of The Running Man and JT Mollner’s adaptation of The Long Walk, both produced by Roy Lee and Vertigo. Additionally, the IT prequel series Welcome to Derry is set to premiere on HBO. The iconic Carrie is also being transformed into an eight-episode series for Prime Video, helmed by horror maestro Mike Flanagan.
Stephen King enthusiasts have been reveling in a feast of adaptations, and with the upcoming Cujo remake, there's even more to savor.
