Director Osgood Perkins reveals that his adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Monkey” is more of a comedy than the horror typical of King’s works. Perkins, who often works behind the camera, will also play a part as an "asshole uncle" in the film. Slated for release on February 21, 2025, the movie is produced by horror icon James Wan and features a mix of scares and humor, resembling a lighthearted Stephen King narrative. Perkins likened the film to a collaboration between filmmaker Robert Zemeckis with a hint of acid, set around a monkey toy. The stellar cast includes Theo James, Elijah Wood, Tatiana Maslany, Rohan Campbell, and Sarah Levy.
