Netflix is excavating another classic—literally. A remake of Stephen King's novel Cujo is officially underway, which means everyone's favorite rabid St. Bernard is going to get a new set of teeth for a new audience. The 1983 adaptation of Cujo was loyal to Stephen King's novel.
With producer Roy Lee attached, the mind behind nightmare fuel such as Barbarian, this take could just take it even further into King's original fright. Whether they opt for the horrific book ending or provide us with Cujo: The Dog's Point of View, one thing is for sure—this dog isn't here for belly rubs.
As soon as the news came out, someone took to his X account and commented:
"they’re gonna change him into a Pitbull lol"
The instant the Cujo remake was announced by Netflix, someone on X already foresaw the inevitable—Hollywood making him a pit bull. At this juncture, no classic is secure against a new twist, and let's be real, a Pitbull Cujo would bring with it an entirely new level of internet arguments.
Whether Netflix remains faithful to Stephen King's original St. Bernard or provides Cujo with a breed facelift, something's certain—this dog is still going to ruin someone's day.
Fans on X weren't shy to unleash their thoughts—some were elated, others horrified, and some were here for the melodrama. From wild casting speculations to debates about whether or not Stephen King's killer hound will get a Hollywood redo, the web is already having far too much fun with this.
Buckle up, folks, because these fan reactions are going to be as unpredictable as Cujo himself!
Netizens react as Netflix works on a ‘Cujo’ remake
Some folks made the Cujo remake news into a comedy event, joking about Hollywood's love of reboots and arguing over whether Cujo's getting a sad origin story. Some even shared their traumatic aftermath after watching Cujo's 1983 version:
"I was afraid of dogs for years after that movie!," @heydawnX commented.
"a cell phone would’ve ended this movie in 10 min," @YoungSeven hilariously commented.
"Watched that when I was young but I remember how terrifying that dog was," @CertifiedFloral sarcastically expressed.
Some of them just chipped in for the sake of it, delivering arbitrary jokes, wild theories, or faking expertise in the horror genre. Whether they had a valid argument or not did not matter here—commenting is now all about the thrill:
"Make cujo a chihuahua this time," @XFilesAesthetic hilariously commented.
"…..Cujo can be rehabilitated…..,"@Jmackstack commented.
"This movie is a classic , anxiety inducing," @_hoekage_23 wrote.
Others actually applauded the news of Netflix's Cujo remake, eager to see Stephen King's frightening story revived. Whether they adored the original or simply love a good horror movie, they're up for another go-round of doggy mayhem—hopefully with even more nightmare fodder this time:
"I can be down with this," @rendawg90 commented.
"Now THATS A SPOOKY," @CryptoeJammin wrote.
In the end, Netflix's Cujo redo is either going to be a scary horror comeback or another excuse for fans to bicker on the internet. Some are hyped for something new, others believe Hollywood will manage to ruin it, and some are only here for the memes. Whatever happens, one thing is sure—anyone watching this is not going to have your average sappy dog movie.
