Netflix has made a deal to turn Stephen King's bestselling novel Cujo into a new film, Deadline reported, adding that Roy Lee is producing, and the project will go out to writers immediately. The novel was first adapted into the 1983 movie starring Dee Wallace.
King's "backlist continues to be golden," Deadline wrote. The Osgood Perkins-directed adaptation of his short story The Monkey was just released, and upcoming are the Francis Lawrence-directed The Long Walk, the Edgar Wright-directed It prequel with Andy Muschietti directing, the Jack Bender-directed The Institute, and a series adaption of Carrie, with Mike Flanagan directing.
