20 Film & TV Remakes You Didn't Know Were Coming
13. Cujo
Stephen King has always been a popular source for film and TV adaptations, however in recent years this has excelled to ridiculous levels. The Life of Chuck, Salem's Lot, The Long Walk, The Running Man, The Monkey, The Institute, and IT: Welcome to Derry all came out within the last two years, with the aforementioned Carrie reboot on the books for 2026.
Add to this a new version of arguably one of the prolific writer's more upsetting stories, Cujo, rebooting the original 1983 outing that itself adapted King's novel of the same name from two years earlier.
The story revolves around a family dog, the titular St. Bernard, getting bitten by a bat and going on what is a rabid killing spree, at one point trapping the mother and son in a car, and forcing a kill or be killed situation. Think Old Yeller but even harder to watch.
There is no current timetable for the film's release, nor has anything been revealed with regards to casting or story outside of the source material itself. All that is known right now is that Roy Lee will take the producer's chair for yet another King adaptation, it will release on Netflix, and will in all likelihood be traumatising.
