Stephen king has written so much that hollywood is still making at least one movie a year about his stories

Probably can expect a cujo remake announcement soon

The dog would be CGI if they did and it wouldn't be any good.

i recently watched Cujo for the first time recently and was thinking the same thing! i kept thinking on how i would tweak it lol (like maybe deeper discussion into why [Spoiler (click to open)]Donna cheated and an epilogue that relieves the tension!)

I really enjoyed this, but damn there are a few really bad moments that detract from it lol.

As a huge fan of the novel: NO.

I hope the cast is not made up of 30 year olds.

David Jonsson's agents are doing good because I keep seeing him pop up. He's in the new Alien: Romulus movie too.

I loved him in Rye Lane too! I'm excited for the new Alien.

I actually haven't seen him in anything BUT his work keeps popping up on social media, so good for him!!

Oooh I've been meaning to watch Rye Lane! I didn't realize he's the male lead!!

You should watch! He and the female lead were charming and it's a romcom that remembers the com part lol.

I read the book when the adaptation was announced since a lot of the comments here were praising it and I was so underwhelmed. But I am a very picky reader, so maybe Stephen King just isn’t for me.
