Despite a litany of disappointing Stephen King adaptions, somebody else is going to have a another go. Netflix has greenlit a new adaptation of Cujo.
The 1981 novel Cujo told the story of a friendly St. Bernard dog who gets bitten by a rabid bad and turns into a frenzied killer.
When a woman and her child visit a local garage, they fine themselves trapped in their car in the sweltering heat as the increasingly crazed dog tries to attack them.
Cujo was previously adapted onto film in 1983 with Dee Wallace in the lead role.
The book famously told some of the story from the point of view of the dog.
Roy Lee will produce the remake.
King got Cujo’s name from the alias of Willie Wolfe, one of the men responsible for orchestrating Patty Hearst’s kidnapping and indoctrination into the Symbionese Liberation Army.
