Today's Mood


Exactly! I know that feeling, Theo James. I know it intimately. By the by that's our first look at The Monkey, the new movie from Longlegs director Osgood Perkins (which also satrs Tatiana Maslany and Perkins himself) based on the short story by no less than Stephen King. And any 80s kid knows that iconic cover of King's short story collection The Skeleton Crew only too well, so this first poster for the movie...

... will be extremely familiar to us. My cousin actually had one of these toys, too! Did you know anybody who had one in real life? I could never be in the same room as that thing. But to be honest I think the teeth on the poster above are a little too much? A little try hard. But maybe that's just this cynic who thought Longlegs was merely alright speaking. Here is the full teaser (and don't worry about spoilers, the only actual footage is the shot of Theo I giffed above):


The Monkey is out on February 21st.

How do you all feel about Joaquin Phoenix bringing an idea to a director, beginning to produce it and then pulling out at the last minute?

Funny. Not like bloody James up there is a complete stranger to comparable ideas...
