by

2025 marks the reign of the monarch, and one of his lesser-known works is being given a fresh interpretation in a Netflix series.

Following the debut of “The Monkey”, enthusiasts of Stephen King can now look forward to another film adaptation based on the renowned horror writer’s novels.

This year, not just The Long Walk and The Running Man are receiving large-scale screen adaptations, but Netflix is also delving into Stephen King’s universe with a film based on his book Cujo.

It might take some time for the streaming platform to unveil the upcoming horror film, but if executed skillfully, it could turn out to be one of the most thrilling new Stephen King adaptations we’ll see.

Netflix developing Cujo movie based on Stephen King book

At this point, it’s still in the initial phases, but according to Deadline, Netflix is working on creating a movie adaptation of the novel “Cujo” penned by Stephen King. The production will be overseen by Roy Lee, known for his work on “Barbarian” and “Death Note”.

Originally printed in 1981, this novel recounts the tale of a Saint Bernard dog who contracts rabies from a bat. As the once gentle creature transforms into a ferocious and menacing version of itself, a family finds themselves under constant threat, struggling to protect their lives.

1983 saw the release of an adaptation of Cujo, a film that went on to become a financial hit, grossing $21.2 million against its production cost of $6 million. Over time, it has garnered a devoted fanbase, earning the status of a cult classic.

In my own journey, I delved into the writing of a novel – a tale that later found its way onto the pages of my autobiography, “On Writing.” The creation of this book unfolded during the throes of my addiction to drugs and alcohol, leaving me with scant recollections of the process itself.

He mentioned that he penned one novel, specifically “Cujo”, which he barely recalls crafting at all. It’s not a statement of pride or shame, but rather a wistful feeling of sorrow and loss. He admits to appreciating that book. He wishes he could recall taking pleasure in the well-crafted parts as he penned them on the page.
