Acclaimed filmmaker Darren Aronofsky is in discussions to direct a Netflix adaptation of Stephen King's 1981 novel 'Cujo'. Produced by horror specialist Roy Lee, the film currently does not have a writer attached. The novel follows a St. Bernard's rabid transformation, trapping a mother and her son in peril.

Renowned filmmaker Darren Aronofsky is reportedly in negotiations to bring Stephen King's iconic 1981 novel, 'Cujo', to life on screen in a new adaptation for Netflix.
