Darren Aronofsky in Talks to Direct Netflix's 'Cujo' Adaptation

The Oscar-nominated filmmaker is negotiating to helm a reimagining of Stephen King's 1981 novel, with Roy Lee attached as producer.

Darren Aronofsky, known for films like 'Black Swan' and 'Mother!', is in discussions to direct Netflix's adaptation of Stephen King's 'Cujo.'
The project is in early development, with no writer or cast attached yet, but Aronofsky is expected to begin meeting with screenwriting candidates soon.
Roy Lee, a producer with a strong track record on Stephen King adaptations, including 'It' and 'Salem’s Lot,' is producing the film.
The adaptation aims to reimagine the story of a rabid St. Bernard terrorizing a mother and her son, following the legacy of the 1983 film.
Netflix continues its strategy of adapting Stephen King's works, leveraging high-profile directors to elevate its projects.
