Stephen King adaptations gain traction after "The Monkey."

The recent release of "The Monkey," based on Stephen King's short story, has sparked interest in adapting more of his works. The film has been well-received, contributing to a resurgence of King adaptations. Five stories are highlighted as potential candidates for adaptation: "Duma Key," "The Sun Dog," "Insomnia," "Blaze," and "The Long Walk." Each story offers unique themes and characters, with "The Long Walk" already in production. These adaptations could expand on King's established universe, particularly with familiar settings like Derry, Maine. The success of "The Monkey" suggests a growing appetite for more King adaptations in film and television.
