Osgood Perkins, the director of the highly anticipated Nicolas Cage horror movie Longlegs, has another spooky movie up his sleeve in the form of a Stephen King adaptation that's nothing like his 2024 scare fest. 

The Monkey, adapted from a short story by King, is the next film Perkins will direct, but, unlike Longlegs, The Monkey will have more of a family-friendly tone.
