Darren Aronofsky in Talks to Direct Netflix's New Adaptation of Stephen King's 'Cujo'

The psychological horror filmmaker is negotiating to helm the project, which is in early development with Roy Lee producing.

Darren Aronofsky, known for films like 'Black Swan' and 'Mother!', is reportedly in talks to direct Netflix's adaptation of Stephen King's novel 'Cujo'.
The project is in its early stages, with no writer or cast attached yet, but production appears to be progressing quickly.
Roy Lee, a producer with extensive experience in Stephen King adaptations, including 'It' and 'Salem's Lot', is confirmed as the producer.
The original 1981 novel follows a rabid St. Bernard terrorizing a mother and her young son, a story that was first adapted into a cult-classic film in 1983.
This marks Netflix's fifth film adaptation of a Stephen King work, continuing the platform's interest in the author's material.
