Netflix Developing New Adaptation of Stephen King's 'Cujo'

The streaming giant has greenlit a remake of the 1981 horror novel, with Roy Lee set to produce and a search for writers underway.

Netflix has officially announced plans for a new feature film adaptation of Stephen King's 1981 horror novel 'Cujo.'
The project is being produced by Roy Lee, known for his work on the horror film 'Barbarian,' though no writer, director, or cast has been attached yet.
'Cujo' tells the story of a mother and son trapped in a car while being terrorized by a rabid St. Bernard, a premise first brought to the screen in the 1983 film adaptation.
Stephen King's works continue to inspire numerous adaptations, with recent projects including 'The Monkey,' 'Salem's Lot,' and 'The Life of Chuck.'
The announcement adds to Netflix's growing slate of Stephen King adaptations, which also includes the upcoming series 'Welcome to Derry.'
