Coming off one of the best-reviewed, buzziest and biggest box office indie horror/thriller movies in years in Longlegs, writer/director Osgood Perkins already has his next project on the horizon, an enticing collaboration with James Wan and Stephen King titled The Monkey.
That is quite the horror trifecta. King, of course, is one of the most famous writers of horror in the world, with many of his stories having received the movie treatment, including The Shining, IT, Carrie and more; The Monkey is one of his short stories that to our knowledge has not been adapted before. Wan, meanwhile, has been behind popular horror movies like Saw, The Conjuring and Malignant as a writer, director or producer; he's a producer on The Monkey. Paired with one of the hottest horror directors right now in Perkins, and The Monkey has a lot of creative force behind it.
