Stephen King’s short story collection, Skeleton Crew, has long been a popular source of inspiration for filmmakers. Since its publication in 1985, five of the stories have been adapted for either the big screen or television – the standout being Frank Darabont’s horrifying monster-fest, The Mist. Soon enough, that number will be growing to six, as there is now a movie of “The Monkey” in the works with Osgood Perkins set to write and direct and James Wan attached to produce.
News of this project arrived in May 2023, and there are a lot of things for Stephen King’s Constant Readers to be excited about with the upcoming film. The movie is still in the early stages of development, but we’ve put together this guide to keep track of its progress. We’ll continue to update and add to it as more information comes to light, but for now this is what we know about the movie version of The Monkey.
