10 Horror Movie Remakes That Were Just Announced

10. Cujo

When Hollywood runs out of Stephen King novels to adapt, the obvious alternate is to just... remake the ones from decades ago.

And that's precisely what's happening, as Netflix recently confirmed they're developing a remake of Cujo, in which the titular easy-going dog contracts rabies and embarks on a murderous rampage.

The original 1983 Dee Wallace-starring film proved relatively divisive with critics, though performed well at the box office and remains something of a cult fave among King fans to this very day. Meanwhile, the remake is set to be produced by Roy Lee, who previously assembled both the recent It movies and last year's Salem's Lot remake, but the big news is that the new Cujo is courting the great Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream) to direct.

Given Aronofsky's bold filmmaking style and prior success in the horror genre - per his films Black Swan and mother! - he's certainly a fascinating fit, even if few would've ever expected him to sign onto a King adaptation of all things.

Cujo's big challenge, however, will be bringing the animal to life in a way that modern audiences find palatable. It's easy to assume that the canine's attack sequences will employ extensive CGI, but as we've seen time and time again, digital animals are tough to get right.
