Following a multi-buyer tug of war, horror movie The Monkey, the adaptation of the Stephen King short story, is heading to Neon for domestic here at the Cannes market.

Theo James (The White Lotus) stars in the movie with Tatiana Maslany (She–Hulk: Attorney at Law), Elijah Wood (The Lord Of The Rings), Christian Convery (Sweet Tooth), Colin O’Brien (Wonka), Rohan Campbell (The Hardy Boys) and Sarah Levy (Schitt’s Creek). Osgood Perkins (Longlegs) directs and adapted the King story.

In The Monkey, when twin brothers Hal and Bill discover their father’s old monkey toy in the attic, a series of gruesome deaths starts occurring all around them. The brothers decide to throw the monkey away and move on with their lives, growing apart over the years. But when the mysterious deaths begin again, the brothers must reunite to find a way to destroy the monkey for good before it takes the lives of everyone close to them. Theo James plays the twins in later years. Convery plays the younger twins.
 
There was a movie from the 90s based on this story that I remember as a kid. Might have been a cable movie, but I remember a little toy monkey banging symbols together then people dying lol. Always stuck with me into adulthood but nobody I spoke to about it knew wtf I was talking about.

Will check it out off the strength of Perkins directing.
