A first-look clip has been released from The Monkey, "a gory adaptation" of the 1980 Stephen King short story, IndieWire reported. Directed and written by Osgood Perkins (Longlegs), the film's cast includes Theo James, Elijah Wood, Tatiana Maslany, and Sarah Levy. The movie will be released February 21.
IndieWire noted that Perkins was "previously candid... about [how] his parents' deaths--including his father, actor and Psycho star Anthony Perkins--informed the satanic horrors of Longlegs. That film starred Maika Monroe as an FBI agent in the '90s on the trail of a serial killer (Nicolas Cage) who holds an intense connection to her childhood."
