Cujo Remake! Teaser

Tindie

Is nothing safe from remakes! :mad: This is Madness , I loved Cujo, It was great book and I really liked the movie.

Well now. We didn't see this one coming. Apparently a remake of the film Cujo based on the Stephen King novel of the same name is going into production sometime this year. Read on for the first details and even a sales video.


Lang Elliott, President & CEO of Sunn Classic Pictures, Inc., announced that Sunn plans to produce the remake of "CUJO" this year representing the 30th Anniversary since Sunn produced and distributed the original "CUJO" motion picture in 1983, based upon Stephen King's novel. The 1983 version was highly successful at the worldwide box-office and, compared with today's inflation and higher ticket prices, the box-office would be well over $225 million even without ancillary sales (i.e., DVD, cable, free television, pay-per-view, etc.).

"CUJO" is the story of a large, playful St. Bernard dog that is transformed into a hideous killing machine after being infected by rabies. Donna Trenton's car is on the fritz, and she and her son take her ailing automobile to their mechanic. Upon their arrival, the car stalls and refuses to restart. The mechanic fails to appear so Donna searches for him. The transformed, maniacal "CUJO" reveals himself; he is highly agitated and very aggressive. Donna hardly recognizes this filthy, monstrous creature foaming at the mouth. Suddenly "CUJO" charges Donna, who barely makes it back into the car for protection. Trapped with her son and the windows rolled up, the sweltering heat begins to take its toll. "CUJO's" powerful state of insanity and violence await.

It's not a remake it's another adaptation and tbh of all the remakes in development it's one of the more interesting. The original is hardly a classic and as such there's a lot that could be done better here.

I loved the movie, I thought it great, almost a classic, If they didn't change the end of the movie.

I loved the book as it was the first SK book I got!

The original IMO is actually quite poor and one of the few classic horror films that it's hard to look past the dated aspects of. Looking forward to this TBH!
