THE MONKEY Is Coming This February
We discover this tough to consider, however Stephen King wrote a narrative within the 80s that WASN’T changed into a film instantly afterward. In truth, it’s by no means been filmed in any respect. You would possibly assume one thing about it made it unfilmable, like how Gerald’s Recreation needed to wait till the invention of Netflix as a result of no studio needed to make a film a few girl handcuffed to a mattress for 2 hours. However we don’t see something about THE MONKEY that may convey up the identical issues.
The Monkey is, certainly, a few monkey. Particularly these historic toy monkeys with the large grin and the cymbals — the sort that look eerie already and also you don’t must be Stephen King to base a horror story round. However the man did as soon as, and James Wan’s manufacturing firm is taking over the overdue activity of giving this monkey his film.
The monkey of The Monkey is picked up by two brothers who discover it in an attic and don’t notice that it’s cursed. When folks begin dying round them, they begin to suppose “possibly it’s the monkey” and attempt to suppose up methods to destroy the toy. However it’s not going to be so simple as that…
“For me, ideally it’s the film that youngsters and their mother and father wanna go see collectively,” director Osgood Perkins (Longlegs) instructed the web site Bloody Disgusting. “Individuals blow up, folks explode; it’s very excessive nevertheless it’s very humorous. It’s very father-son redemption, it’s very touching, it’s very nostalgic, it’s very Stephen King.”
The Monkey might be distributed by NEON and is about to be launched February 21, 2025.
