Darren Aronofsky is in talks to direct an adaptation of the Stephen King horror novel 'Cujo' about a killer St. Bernard for Netflix.

Roy Lee (Barbarian) is on board to produce the film, which does not yet have a writer attached. This won’t be Lee’s first time at the Stephen King rodeo. He already earned his bona fides producing both It movies, Salem’s Lot, Starz’s The Stand, and Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep.

Aronofsky is post on Caught Stealing, a crime drama starring Austin Butler and Zoe Kravitz that Sony will release Aug. 29. He last directed the 2022 drama Whale, for which Brendan Fraser won an Oscar for best actor. Aronofsky is repped by CAA and Goodman Genow.
