Crawl (July 1) Credit – Paramount Pictures

Crawl is a natural horror film directed by Alexandre Aja from a screenplay co-written by Michael and Shawn Rasmussen. The 2019 film is set in Florida as a Category 5 hurricane hits the state, and it follows a father and daughter as they get trapped in a crawl space where they are hunted by alligators. Crawl stars Kaya Scodelario and Barry Pepper.

We found out last week that a new take on Stephen King's killer dog novel, Cujo, is in the works for Netflix, and the project may have nabbed a somewhat surprising director.

According to Jeff Sneider in his latest newsletter (and since backed up by THR), Darren Aronofsky is in negotiations to helm the movie.

Though some would consider this the filmmaker's first foray into the horror genre, that's certainly debatable. Aronofsky has included horror elements in a number of his previous films, and many would view the likes of Mother!, Black Swan, and even Requiem for a Dream to be full-on horror movies.

King's novel focuses on a mother and her young seizer-prone son being terrorized by a huge St. Bernard who becomes a rabid killing machine after being bitten by a bat. 

Cujo was previously adapted for the big screen back in 1983, with Lewis Teague directing from...

Stephen King’s killer dog classic Cujo is headed back to the screen with a new adaptation in the works from Netflix, we learned last week, and the film’s director may have been found.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms a scoop from Jeff Sneider this week, reporting that Oscar-nominated filmmaker Darren Aronofsky is in talks to direct Stephen King’s Cujo for Netflix.

THR notes in their report this afternoon, “The feature project was only revealed last week but it’s clearly further along than known or moving on the fast track.”

Stay tuned for more as we learn it.

Roy Lee (It) is producing the new adaptation of Cujo for the streamer.

Stephen King’s horror novel Cujo was originally published in 1981, with director Lewis Teague’s classic horror movie adaptation being unleashed just two years later in 1983. Dee Wallace, Ed Lauter, Daniel Hugh Kelly, and Danny Pintauro starred...

Darren Aronofsky is circling Netflix’s “Cujo,” a remake of Stephen King’s horror novel about a bloodthirsty St. Bernard.

“Cujo” remains in early stages of development and Aronofsky has yet to have a creative meeting with Netflix, according to sources familiar with the project. Should the deal close, the film would mark Aronofsky’s first feature for a streaming service.

Although occasionally courted by Hollywood (he was an early contender to reboot “Batman” before Christopher Nolan took over), Aronofsky has mostly stayed true to his indie roots. The filmmaker has directed such films as psychological drama “Requiem for a Dream,” psychological thriller “Black Swan,” psychological horror allegory “Mother!” and psychological case study “The Whale.” He’s currently putting the finishing touches on Sony’s “Caught Stealing,” a crime drama with Austin Butler and Zoe Kravitz that opens in theaters this August.

Roy Lee (“Barbarian”) will produce the “Cujo” reboot,...

There have been rumblings of a remake of the classic Stephen King adaptation Cujo for a long time – in fact, one was officially announced way back in 2013. In 2015, we heard that the remake had taken an unexpected turn, reimagining the name Cujo as an acronym that stood for Canine Unit Joint Operations. That project seemed to be scrapped when King got the rights to the story back in 2017… But last week, we learned that the Cujo remake has found a new home: the Netflix streaming service. And now, industry scooper Jeff Sneider of The InSneider reports that a director might be close to signing on to the project, as Darren Aronofsky is said to be in negotiations to take the helm.

Aronofsky’s previous directorial efforts include Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler, Black Swan, Noah, mother!, and The Whale.

There have been rumblings of a remake of the classic Stephen King adaptation Cujo for a long time – in fact, one was officially announced way back in 2013. In 2015, we heard that the remake had taken an unexpected turn, reimagining the name Cujo as an acronym that stood for Canine Unit Joint Operations. That project seemed to be scrapped when King got the rights to the story back in 2017… But now, the Cujo remake has found a new home.

Deadline reports that Netflix has secured a deal to make a new feature film based on King’s 1981 novel Cujo. Roy Lee, who has previously produced the King adaptations Salem’s Lot (2024), The Stand (2020 – 2021), Doctor Sleep (2019), It (2017), and It Chapter Two (2019), will be producing the film. Now, the search is on for a writer.

Cujo is the story of a large, playful St. Bernard dog that is transformed into a hideous killing machine after being infected by rabies.

A remake of Stephen King’s “Cujo” is in the works at Netflix, according to an insider with knowledge of the project.

Roy Lee (“Barbarian”) will produce “Cujo,” which is currently out to writers.

King’s original 1981 novel centers on a mother and son, who are trapped in a hot car, being terrorized by a rabid 200-lbs. St. Bernard. As time ticks on, it becomes clear that they will die unless they do something.

A 1983 film adaptation was directed by Lewis Teague and starred Dee Wallace, Daniel Hugh Kelly and Danny Pintauro.

King is one of the most prolific American writers of his generation. He has penned more than 65 novels, and published countless short stories. His bibliography is a gold mine of horror, sci-fi and everything in between.

Most recently, a remake of “Salem’s Lot” was released on Max. In his review of the film, TheWrap’s William Bibbiani wrote,...

Netflix has greenlit a remake of Stephen King’s novel “Cujo,” a horror story about a mother and son who get trapped in their car while protecting themselves from a rabid dog.

Roy Lee (“Barbarian”) will produce the reboot, which has yet to attach a writer, director or cast members, per Deadline, which broke the news of the project. King’s 1981 book was first adapted for the screen in the 1983 feature film of the same name, directed by Lewis Teague and starring Dee Wallace, Daniel Hugh Kelly and Danny Pintauro. At the box office, “Cujo” earned $21 million worldwide (not adjusted for inflation) against a $6 million budget.

King’s novels, in genres ranging from horror and sci-fi to crime and fantasy, have been rich material for Hollywood, with films such as “Carrie,” “The Shining,” “Shawshank Redemption,” “Stand By Me,” “It” and the sequel “It: Chapter Two.”

Edgar Wright is currently adapting...

Stephen King is easily one of the most prolific authors, whose novels are constantly being optioned to become films, limited series, or TV series. Some of his stories have been adapted several times.

The horror author has penned many terrifying stories. With a series of upcoming projects, one of his best stories will receive a brand-new adaptation. Per Deadline, Netflix has made a new deal to adapt King's 1981 novel Cujo into a new feature film.

The only name attached to the project is Roy Lee. There is no cast, writers, or director, but Lee is a King veteran. The famous producer, who has a long list of horror films under his belt, has worked on several other King adaptations, most famously the 2017 adaptation of It and its 2019 sequel, It Chapter Two, as well as Max's new take on Salem's Lot in 2024. Aside from Cujo, he will also produce the upcoming...

Stephen King’s killer canine is coming back to life, with Deadline reporting this afternoon that Netflix and producer Roy Lee (It) are developing a brand new Cujo movie.

The project “will go out to writers immediately,” Deadline notes in today’s report.

No other information has been announced at this time. Stay tuned for more.

Stephen King’s horror novel Cujo was originally published in 1981, with director Lewis Teague’s classic horror movie adaptation being unleashed just two years later in 1983. Dee Wallace, Ed Lauter, Daniel Hugh Kelly, and Danny Pintauro starred in the original adaptation of Cujo, wherein a friendly St. Bernard contracts rabies and embarks on a reign of terror.

Here’s the full synopsis for King’s novel: “Outside a peaceful town in central Maine, a monster is waiting. Cujo is a two-hundred-pound Saint Bernard, the best friend Brett Camber has ever had. One day, Cujo...

Soon there will be a new streaming home for terror. The 1983 movie, Cujo, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, is heading to Paramount+ next month.

However, Cujo's arrival on Paramount+ on Dec. 1 comes with a slight catch. If King fans want to stream the cult classic, they will need the Showtime add-on. Directed by Lewis Teague, Cujo stars Dee Wallace and Danny Pintauro as a mother and son who are trapped inside their car while protecting themselves from the titular rabid St. Bernard. Although the horror movie received mixed reviews and a modest box office return during its original release, Cujo has since become a cult classic.

By 1983, Stephen King had rocketed to the top of the publishing world within a fairly short period of time. His first novel, Carrie, had been published only nine years before but he was already considered the modern master of the horror novel. The adaptations of his work, Brian DePalma’s Carrie (1976), Tobe Hooper’s TV movie Salem’s Lot (1979), and Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining (1980) had only served to feed the fires of his popularity. King had become a cottage industry by the third year of the new decade and the three films based on his work released that year remain among the best connected to his name while exploring some of the greatest issues he grappled with in the early years of his career.

The current preoccupations of a creator so often seep into their work, consciously or unconsciously. In Cujo, The Dead Zone, and Christine, King explores the creative process,...

Ah, life in the country…such bucolic bliss. Until your neighbor’s dog contracts rabies, kills its owner, and then comes after you!

August’s home entertainment releases are off and running in a big way with this week’s crop of horror and sci-fi titles, as we have nearly two dozen movies coming our way this Tuesday.

Scream Factory is putting in overtime with a handful of stunning steelbooks celebrating three great John Carpenter films—They Live, The Fog and Escape From New York—as well as a Collector’s Edition of James Gunn’s Slither and the indie horror films Don’t Knock Twice and House on Willow Street (which they’ve teamed up with IFC Midnight for).

As far as recent genre movies go, Colossal, Shin Godzilla, and Phoenix Forgotten are all primed for their home bow on August 1st, and both Paramount and Universal are dusting off a bunch of recent titles on both DVD and Blu-ray, including Disturbia, The Machinist, Red Eye, and the unrated version of The Ruins.

Acclaimed film historian and author Lee Gambin will have you cowering in your Ford Pinto curled up with his monumental tome Nope, Nothing Wrong Here: The Making of Cujo, an exhaustive guide to Lewis Teague's 1983 big screen adaptation of Stephen King's bestselling novel Cujo. The book is a meticulously-researched, lovingly-assembled collection featuring thirty exclusive candid interviews and over two hundred never-before-seen production stills.

The author traces the film’s production from troubled start (the firing of original director Peter Medak and replacement by Teague) through the film’s legacy today as one of the most successful and well-regarded onscreen visions of King’s work. Gambin’s academic approach and reverence for the topic makes it essential reading for discerning fans, academics, and cinema history enthusiasts who will revel in his astute scene-by-scene analysis and in-depth behind-the-scenes coverage.

Making her narrative directorial debut, actress Ally Walker‘s earnest, if not subtle Sex, Death and Bowling is by no means a groundbreaking film on any of these three evocative subjects. Attempting a complex tone combining melodrama and quirk, it’s moderately successful on a few fronts. If anything, this picture gets “pre-grieving” right in a few tender moments that resonate deeply. Beyond those moments, the film provides several undercooked sub-plots that made me question if Walker knew who the “A-story” was.

No story details were given at this time, but a press release discovered by Film School Rejects reveals that the screenplay by an unspecified writer is complete and development is under way.

Anyone that is familiar with the short story “The Monkey’s Paw” knows where the premise of this flick from Chiller Films is headed. It’s a pretty respectable premise though.
