The Big Picture The trailer for The Monkey was released, showing a glimpse of the next Steven King film adaptation. The movie is based on a short story that was written by the horror novelist in 1980 and will star Divergent's Theo James and She-Hulk's Tatiana Maslany. The Monkey is one of many short stories written by King that received a screen adaptation and will be released in theatres early next year.
The Monkey was directed and written by Osgood Perkins, known for his work in Longlegs and Gretel & Hansel, just to name a few. In addition, horror filmmaker, James Wan, and his production company, Atomic Monster, are also involved in the upcoming horror project. Also starring in the film include Lord of the Rings' Elijah Wood, Cocaine Bear's Christian Convery, Wonka's Colin O'Brien, Halloween Ends'Rohan Campbell, and Sarah Levy.
The short story ended up playing a role in modern storytelling as it became an inspiration in similar tales. One notable example was in The X-Files episode, titled 'Chinga,' which involved a cursed doll with similar abilities. Interestingly enough, the episode in question was also written by King.
