The Disney copyright problem has led to a change in the horror of Stephen King

Copyright problems are that most people who watch movies do not think about everything so often, but they often throw a shadow over studios and directors who want to do something. In case of Oz Perkins Director Future adaptation of Stephen King’s Short History, “Monkey”, This began with the right to copyright. Unfortunately for Perkins and Neon, a studio that supports this particular movie, the problems have not stopped.

In a recent conversation with SFX magazine (via Gamesradar), Perkins, which came out of the success of last year’s horror Hit “Longlegs”, showed that the title hero in “Malny” had to transfer the changes from the copyright that took place. “When I was instructed, the producer said, ‘Oh, by the way, Disney owns Cymbals from -wit,” The Toy Monkey in) History, “Perkins explained.

It is unclear that the producer Perkins meant, although maestro horrors James van (“The Conjuring”) is the main producer “The Monkey”. Also worth noting this The movie “History toys” on which was said It was almost certainly “History of toys 3” 2010, ie. A film in which the “History History” gang confronts with a monkey cymbal toy that wandered (aka Jolly chimpanzees), identical described in the original King history.

In the film, the “Monkey” version, as it was, focuses on the couple of twin brothers (played the “Sweet Tooth” actor Christian Cauders), who in his youth finds a mysterious showcase, leading to a number of outrageous death that breaks their family. After 25 years, the same ominous monkey, starting a new murder, which causes the remote brothers (now the White Lotus Star will play) to resist the damn toy again.

So, what did Perkins did? The decision he came up with was relatively simple (if somewhat obvious). Instead of using cymbals, he gave his monkey a small drum to win when death is just around the corner. As Perkins explained, this seemingly unpleasant question turned into a positive for the movie:

“It’s (can’t) be a cymbal. What if it was a drum? The problem! The drum is like a marching drum. Before you happen.

It’s just a window into everything that I am introducing. This is a combination of a million solutions (such as it), which can affect the result, many of which are not necessarily in control of the director. In case “Monkey”, some tragedies from their own perkins’s own life affected the scenario. This is a combination of external influence, in which case the problem of copyright and view of the director who makes the film as he is. King’s story was really just a bounce point.

“” Strange things “driven the market it is like movies from the 80s, it’s like” Gramans “, it’s like Spielberg! ” – And it did it so well and so successfully,” Perkins said in the same interview, showing why he changed the movie setting from his original material. “Initially, the film I wrote was installed in the 80s, with a childhood in the 50’s, because it felt very Stefan King. But of course, (” this “) already made it, and” Strange things ” I took it away, so we transferred it to the 90th and the present. “

On February 21, 2025, the Monkey opened in cinemas.
