Stephen King's Thoughts on Prequel

Earlier this week we told you that Glen Mazzara was penning the prequel to Stephen King's The Shining. Now the man behind the pages has expressed his thoughts on the prequel.
In an interview with EW Stephen King said the following on the prequel.

"I’m not saying I would put a stop to the project, because I’m sort of a nice guy. When I was a kid, my mother said, ‘Stephen if you were a girl, you’d always be pregnant.’ I have a tendency to let people develop things. I’m always curious to see what will happen. But you know what? I would be just as happy if it didn’t happen." - Stephen King

I just hope when the film is released will we get a bat shit crazy documentary like Room 237 for this prequel?

Cujo Remake Official

Stephen King's 1981 novel Cujo was first made into a film in 1983 where we saw a rabid St Brenard terrorize a family. Yeah, those people who go awe dogs are so cute, NO FUCK THEM they lick you hump you, jump on you, hump your leg. That's sexual assault not cute.
Now Cujo has entered the remake circuit as Sun Classic Pictures announces the remake. No word yet on who will be in it or directing it but it should be out this year. 


Press Release 
"Lang Elliott, President & CEO of Sunn Classic Pictures, Inc., announced that Sunn plans to produce the remake of “CUJO” this year representing the 30th Anniversary since Sunn produced and distributed the original “CUJO” motion picture in l983, based upon Stephen King’s novel. The l983 version was highly successful at the worldwide box-office and, compared with today’s inflation and higher ticket prices, the box-office would be well over $225 million even without ancillary sales (i.e., DVD, cable, free television, pay-per-view, etc.).
“CUJO” is the story of a large, playful St. Bernard dog that is transformed into a hideous killing machine after being infected by rabies. Donna Trenton’s car is on the fritz, and she and her son take her ailing automobile to their mechanic. Upon their arrival, the car stalls and refuses to restart. The mechanic fails to appear so Donna searches for him. The transformed, maniacal “CUJO” reveals himself; he is highly agitated and very aggressive. Donna hardly recognizes this filthy, monstrous creature foaming at the mouth. Suddenly “CUJO” charges Donna, who barely makes it back into the car for protection. Trapped with her son and the windows rolled up, the sweltering heat begins to take its toll. “CUJO’s” powerful state of insanity and violence await."
