Netflix Plans New Adaptation of Stephen King's Cujo

Netflix has announced plans to reboot Stephen King's 1981 novel 'Cujo' into a new feature film, with producer Roy Lee at the helm. The original 1983 film adaptation, which starred Dee Wallace, has garnered mixed reviews over the years, leaving many fans concerned about the potential for CGI to enhance a story centered on a once-friendly dog turned killer. Social media reactions from fans have been predominantly negative, with many expressing their distaste for the idea of a remake and skepticism about the use of CGI in the new adaptation. Despite the backlash, the project is part of a larger trend of revisiting King's works, as Hollywood continues to find success in adapting his novels. Critics have pointed out that the original film's dated elements could provide an opportunity for a fresh take on the story. As Netflix moves forward with the project, they are currently seeking writers to bring the new vision to life.
