【Brigitte Meyer】
Stephen King is Brigitte Meyeralways happy to make his feelings clear when it comes to adaptations of his work — whether the author likes them or he doesn't.
SEE ALSO: Every single Stephen King movie adaptation, rankedThe latest movie in the horror master's thoughts is Longlegsdirector Osgood Perkins' upcoming adaptation of The Monkey, produced by Saw's James Wan and starring The Gentlemen's Theo James. The film, which centres on a creepy cymbal-banging monkey toy associated with gruesome deaths, uses King's 1980 short story for its inspiration.
The verdict, which the author posted recently on Threads? Well, it certainly sound like the film made an impact.
