“I’ve had people die in truly, deeply insane ways,” Perkins told EW.
“Everybody dies whether there’s a monkey or not.
What if you could do this with a smile process the fact that everybody dies?
The Monkey is based on Stephen King’s 1980 short story of the same name. The plot follows twin brothers Hal and Bill, played by Theo James and Christian Convery, who discover a cursed monkey toy in their father’s attic.
And what an insane, surrealist notion, dude!Youwill die;we’llall die.
That’s crazy s**t. To do that as a comedy felt very apropos.”
Perkins directedThe Monkeyfrom a self-adapted screenplay.
The Monkeywill be released by Neon on Feb. 21, 2025.
Perkins' latest film,Longlegs,is streaming now on Prime Video.
