The director is approaching The Monkey from a fun '90s horror angle.
As excitement ramps up for Osgood Perkins ’ Longlegs with growing word of mouth of how darkly grim and scary the Nicolas Cage -starring feature is, the director’s next project, Stephen King adaptation The Monkey , is starting to gain more and more attention. The filmmaker’s adaptation of King’s short horror tale featured in Skeleton Crew is set to be his next feature; it stars Theo James , Tatiana Maslany , and Elijah Wood .
So we tried to make a movie that felt a little bit more like something from the late ’80s-’90s. It’s sorta like, if Robert Zemeckis had just like a little bit of acid and made a Stephen King picture about a monkey toy.” The director teamed up with Neon and James Wan’s Atomic Monster for his take, which we couldn’t be more excited for as it feels like that boundary-pushing gateway horror vibe. “For me, ideally it’s the movie that kids and their parents wanna go see together,” Perkins continued.
