In the latest round of Stephen King adaptations—or, if you prefer a more optimistic view, another exciting Stephen King movie—a new version of Cujo is on the horizon. Netflix is set to produce a new film adaptation of King's chilling tale, with Vertigo Entertainment founder and producer Roy Lee attached. While still in the early stages of development, with no writers or directors yet confirmed, the project promises a fresh take on this classic horror story.
King's novel, originally published in 1981, was famously adapted into a cult classic horror film in 1983, directed by Lewis Teague and starring Dee Wallace. The story follows a mother's desperate struggle to protect her son from a rabid St. Bernard, Cujo, leading to a terrifying showdown as they become trapped in a car, battling both the relentless animal and the sweltering heat.

Cujo is just one of many beloved King stories successfully adapted to the screen, with a recent resurgence in King-inspired films. Oz Perkins' adaptation of King's short story, The Monkey, was released in February, and we eagerly anticipate the upcoming The Running Man starring Glen Powell, JT Mollner's The Long Walk (also produced by Lee and Vertigo), and the IT prequel series, Welcome to Derry, on HBO. Furthermore, a Prime Video series adaptation of Carrie, directed by Mike Flanagan, is also in the works.
It's a golden age for Stephen King fans, with plenty more exciting projects on the way.
