Horror Cujo remake

[donuts]

Only way this could be good on Netflix is if Mike Flanagan was behind it. But the man's already got a full plate.

Plus I feel like his Amazon deal was basically him closing the door on Netflix.

I’m sure there are a number of directors who could give it their due. It’s Netflix as a whole that gives me doubts. Unless it’s something they’ve acquired (Hit Man) or a director they can’t apply too much pressure to, I just don’t think they give a **** about movies.

I can already feel this being like the bland Firestarter remake.

Or the Pet Sematary remake. Or the Carrie remake. Or the Children of the Corn remake. None of these Stephen King remakes have any bite to them with the exception of It Chapter One. At least Edgar Wright's The Running Man sounds promising.

Both IT movies were solid. I really don’t understand why people dog on Chapter Two so much. Thought it ended better than the book or miniseries which both had such a mostly sour note to it all.

I like Chapter Two but it's not on the level of the first movie. The part of the book where the Loser's Club are kids was always the stronger part of the story anyway. It's at least worth watching for Bill Skarsgard and Bill Hader. They did pretty much nail the casting for the adults.

We named our childhood German Shepherd after Cujo.

Good times

Unusual move for Aronofsky. I guess he wants to buy a yacht or something.

Well damn, now I’ll have to actually check it out.

Knowing Aronofsky, he may end up keeping the darker ending of the book.

Knowing Netflix, he may not lol

Aronofsky was originally attached as a producer for The Life of Chuck movie that eventually went to Flanagan, another Stephen King adaptation, so that might have something to do with it.

But also it's Jeff Sneider, so massive grains of salt.

Who let the dog out, who, who? Netflix and producer Roy Lee.

It's just strange to see Aronofsky attached to such a mainstream project. I mean, he did Noah but that's kind of a broad biblical adaptation.

I’ve never read the novel, but I remember enjoying the 1983 film.

Will definitely do so now, though!

Yeah, I somewhat agree, though a) I wouldn't deem it that mainstream and b) let's see if he ends up doing it after all.

Nothing beats David Fincher signing on to do a World War Z sequel at some point and Frank Darabont attached to direct Snow White and the Huntsman 2 of all things.

Honestly? I can see the director of Requiem For a Dream making a meal out of this.

He’s also been sniffing around making something a little more mainstream for awhile, between Batman: Year One and Wolverine.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I forgot he was once attached to The Wolverine. I remember RoboCop he was going to remake at one point.

 

[Drizzle]

I totally forgot he was attached to The Wolverine and Batman Year One. His versions probably wouldn't have been too far off from what we ended up getting.

Don’t know much about his Wolverine, but for the people who complained that Chris Nolan’s Batman was too set in the “real world”, Aronofsky’s was literally French Connection lol
