In the latest round of Stephen King adaptations—or, if you prefer a more optimistic view, another exciting Stephen King movie—a new film version of Cujo is on the horizon. Netflix is set to produce this new adaptation, with Vertigo Entertainment founder and producer Roy Lee attached. While still in early development, with no writers or director yet announced, the project is generating buzz.
King's novel, originally published in 1981, was famously adapted into a 1983 cult classic directed by Lewis Teague. The film, starring Dee Wallace, follows a mother's desperate fight to protect her son from a rabid St. Bernard. Their struggle for survival unfolds as they're trapped in a car with a dead engine, facing the relentless attacks of Cujo and the threat of heatstroke.

Cujo is one of many King stories successfully adapted to film, and recently, there's been a noticeable resurgence of King adaptations. Oz Perkins' adaptation of King's short story, The Monkey, was released in February. Further additions to this wave include the Glen Powell-led The Running Man, JT Mollner's The Long Walk (also produced by Lee and Vertigo), and the IT prequel series, Welcome to Derry, on HBO. Additionally, a Prime Video eight-episode series adaptation of Carrie, helmed by Mike Flanagan, is in the works.
It's a great time to be a Stephen King fan, with even more exciting projects on the way.
