James Wan, recognized worldwide as one of the key directors in horror stories, will be a producer on a film by the king of horror, Stephen King. The story will have a terrifying doll in the middle, however, it will not be like other movies based on a cursed doll. It is the story of The Monkey, originally published in 1980 by the horror writer. The story has been in promotion since the Cannes Film Festival, and since then, the protagonist of the story has also been announced, who will be Theo James, known worldwide for his leading role as Four in the Divergent saga.
The actor is in fact back on everyone's lips after appearing in the cast of the second season of the award-winning series The White Lotus. However, all indications are that James will only play the adult part of the protagonist, as it is a story in which the children, and the disturbing monkey of the title, have a lot to do.
The perverse doll of the story will have a great importance, and a great power, since every time he touches his fearsome saucers, he will be announcing a death. The idea of turning an adorable doll into a death announcer can only come from the mind of Stephen King. This is the nightmare that his protagonist knows since he was a child with the object his father gave him, a missing sailor, and that now will sneak back into his home after his twin sons, Hal and Bill, find and dust off the old toy kept by their father in the attic.
