Cujo, the vicious St. Bernard who terrified both ’80s kids and adults alike, is getting another shot at cinematic success. This time, from one of the unlikeliest of directors.

Netflix's new take on Stephen King horror Cujo might have just found its director in Black Swan's Darren Aronofsky. No writer or actors have been linked to the project just yet.

Darren Aronofsky is going to the dogs. Or maybe just one particular dog. The acclaimed filmmaker, whose resume ranges from Requiem for a Dream to Black Swan to The Whale, is in talks to direct Netflix's adaptation of Stephen King novel Cujo.
