In the latest round of Stephen King adaptations—or, if you prefer a more positive spin, another exciting Stephen King movie announcement—a new film version of Cujo is on the horizon. Netflix is producing this adaptation, with Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment attached as producer. While still in early development, meaning no writers, directors, or cast have been announced, the news is generating considerable buzz.
King's novel, originally published in 1981, received a cult classic film adaptation in 1983, directed by Lewis Teague and starring Dee Wallace. The story follows a mother desperately trying to protect her son from a rabid St. Bernard named Cujo. Trapped in a car with a dead engine, they face a terrifying struggle for survival against the increasingly aggressive Cujo and the threat of heatstroke.

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