After last year’s release of ‘The Boogeyman’, another short story by Stephen King is being adapted for the big screen.

‘The Monkey’ is a short story written by Stephen King and was featured in the collection ‘Skeleton Crew’. After twin brothers Hal and Bill (Theo James – Divergent series) find an antique monkey toy in their attic, a string of mysterious murders starts to occur around them.

The teaser only serves as an announcement of the film, but it does a fantastic job at getting moviegoers excited. Not only is Theo James starring, but Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings) will be too. Another exciting aspect to the film is the crew: ‘The Monkey’ will be written and directed by Osgood Perkins, who’s just found success with the creepy horror ‘Longlegs’, and will be produced by James Wan (Malignant, Saw, Insidious). 

While it was a short teaser, ‘The Monkey’ has a fantastic cast and crew attached to it, and the focal visual of the antique monkey toy is both striking and terrifying. With Osgood Perkins writing and directing, this is one film that’s sure to be really frightening when it arrives to cinemas next year.

The Monkey is an upcoming American supernatural horror film written and directed by Osgood Perkins, which is based on the 1980 short story by Stephen King. It stars Theo James, Tatiana Maslany, Elijah Wood, Christian Convery, Colin O’Brien, Rohan Campbell and Sarah Levy.
