White Lotus star Theo James will be in Vancouver this fall as filming of The Monkey will take place there between November 6 and December 4.

The movie has been listed under the working title A Shadowless Horse in some article. Not sure why though.

I keep thinking that this story had already been adapted in the 80s but that’s because I mix it up with the poster to Monkey Shine… which I haven’t actually watched yet lol

Still have yet to read this story, but Oz Perkins is drumming up so much hype for Longlegs, this will probably be quite something.

Cant wait.

[Boom]

That poster doesn't give "comedic kids' movie" vibes at all.

Considering his current film has people reacting to it like it was fished out from the depths of hell, I would figure that his version of a light-hearted romp might still be a bit ****ed up.

Could be really fun but it strikes me as a difficult story to make an entire movie out of.

[Kane52630]

Yeah I saw it too, it's simple but effective.

I'll make sure to get there early for my Cuckoo screening.

Oooh. Cool.

Seems like Perkins is bringing Longlegs-level imagery but with a slightly more playful tone.

I’m into it.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Looks great and I’m glad to see Theo James in another lead role after crushing it in The Gentlemen and The White Lotus.

Also, why are toy monkeys so ****ing creepy? They’ve weirded me out ever since I was a kid and I first saw a copy of Monkey Shines sitting on a shelf at Blockbuster (never actually saw that movie though).

A Stephen King adaptation starring Tatiana Maslany? Sign me the hell up!

Its going to be that one Malcolm in the Middle episode all over again.
