Over the years, Stephen King adaptations have been all the rage in Hollywood, with directors like Brian De Palma, Frank Darabont, Andy Muschietti, and Mike Flanagan taking on his worlds, as well as many others. Recently, Oz Perkins delved into King's mind, with his crackling movie The Monkey. But in an interview, he told Fangoria's The Kingcast that it might be his last venture into the novelist's world. Perkins said, "I think the fun, kind of the real win of where I'm at currently, is I've kind of established the rule now that everything I do is one of one. Nothing is gonna be — we're not going to retread anything. So it's like, will there be a Longlegs 2? Supposed to be. Like, everybody wants there to be. It's out there. Would it be like Longlegs 1? Man, you better believe that whatever a Longlegs 2 will be, will have nothing to f***ing do with Longlegs 1. Like how could it have anything to do with 'Longlegs 1?' So, in terms of like what kind of is ahead and what comes next, I think the game that I'm engaged in, and I'm so fortunate to have the opportunity, is to do something really different every time. So, if there was going to be another King thing, honestly, I can't imagine. It feels so complete. It feels like a move that we made, we landed the plane, as it were, and people really dig it, and don't f*** with it....
